Relax! It just confirms that you are a woman. It also confirms the biblical command that a man should love his wife, Ephesians 5: 25, 28. (Men don't need to be told they are loved, needed, cherished.)

The above is insecurity. If they don't tell you these things, you doubt you are appreciated. If they do, you doubt their sincerity. Insecurity fed by a
damned-if-they-do, damned-if-they-don't catch-22 scenario. You've set yourself up to feel bad whatever the situation. Why? What aspect of your personality are you feeding with this? or, What are you gaining?
