Your partner telling you they love you back is the most barest minimum of the bare minimum. He's not asking much from just asking from the one he loves to reassure him back, the comment section sounds like people who have never been in a relationship. I understand that garam has past trauma and that's the reason for his reluctance but just because your hurt doesn't mean you can hurt others, period. 🤷
but they BOTH should communicate
but they BOTH should communicateI bi*** about everything 

this is my sign to get a life, thanks 😭🙏
