Attention = Love ?

[Journey]

One thing I noticed is that when my wife is age regressed, attention equals love. 

In other words, if you give her attention, she feels loved. If you watch cartoons with her, she feels loved. If you spend time with her, she feels loved. 

Based on this, I think one of her languages of love is quality time. But I do find it interesting that when she is age regressed, it almost simplifies down to attention equals love for her.

I was curious if that was unique to her, or if other people also have experienced this.

I think that way even in bigspace.  It's not the only way to show love, for sure, but I think it's definitely the biggest- especially for those of us who are neglect survivors. Of course, there's always going to be necessary time apart, whether a partner is in Littlespace or not.

edit; Just to clarify;

I'm referring to affectionate connection with commitment to a relationship and not manipulative behavior.

🤔 This is thought provoking. I've done study on the love languages. My primary receiving language is Acts of Service. I'm a middle so my headspace is different, there's not really regression quite the same way. That said, for my middle / princess side to be accepted and encouraged.... that would be a huge act of service to me

It may be possible that "attention" is just part of the quality time language of love. Quality time is not one of my languages of love, but I do recognize that it is one of hers.

And you are right about necessary time apart. Since we both work from home, we are together nearly 24 hours a day. As a result, for our mutual sanity, we set up alone time and together time.
