How He Emotionally Tells You He Loves You, Based On His Zodiac Sign
He's saying he loves you but not the way you think.
weheartit Someone can tell you they love you all day long and you still might not believe it.
It isn't that we need proof exactly, but we want something to back up the words.
Luckily, there are many ways that someone can tell you they love you, and one of the best ways is in non-physical acts and emotionally.
If your partner swears up and down that he loves you but then refuses to take you to the airport or pick up your dry cleaning, you might think that his words don't match his actions.
You've probably heard some version of the line, "Your mouth is writing checks that your body can't cash."
What this means is, you're saying something — a promise, a statement, or threat — that you can't physically deliver on. This is true with love.
You can give something lip service and talk about it as if you mean it, but if you can't back it up, then it means nothing.
The way that you back it up means with actions and emotions. If you don't truly feel what you say that you're feeling, you're just lying.
The problem is, it can be hard to understand someone else's emotional vocabulary.
You may not realize that it's a huge deal for your partner to pick up tampons for you at the drugstore, and that it's their way of proving to you how much they love you.
As with any form of communication, everybody has their own way of doing it, and it can be challenging to interpret these emotional actions.
Once again, astrology is here to help you see that love isn't always expressed in grand gestures and showy performances; sometimes, it's the simple, emotional things like really being present that are the truest forms of saying "I love you."
Here's how he emotionally tells you he loves you, according to his zodiac sign.
