He came home with a pink watch which he carefully picked out; he felt great sense of accomplishment especially when he gifted me a very stylish Couch bag. As usual, he retreated back to his man-cave after that and started playing online PC game. I started feeling left out and truly unloved because I felt love is not shown by giving gifts but spending time with each other. (Obviously, gifting is my hubby way to show his love)
I went into his man cave and started pick fight. The fight started easily, especially when hubby pointed out he was the only one who cares enough to purchase my mother a watch with his hard working money. The fight ended with me being speechless.
Later that night, I went back to him and explained the 5 love languages. Even though my brother and sisters do not purchase gifts for my parents, but they will show their love differently. My brother shows his love by physical touches, when my sister Jane shows her love by act of service, and lastly my sister Evon shows spending time with them. He was wrong to judge their love for my parents by judging their ways to show love just as my wrong doing of judging his love for me by judging his way to say I love you on mothers` day.
