If your gf/bf/bff needs reassurance on how you feel, just give it to them. We’re humans and go through shit. It’s nice to feel wanted.
Or because asking for reassurance is sure to make the person feel like a burden, just go ahead and reassure them anytime and often that you still love them, cuz life is short! and the onus for recovery being placed upon the sufferer isn’t super fun either
The best thing to take from this? You can never say I love you too much. Saying I love you won’t lessen the impact of the words. Say it every day, saying affirmations a whole lot will never lessen the meaning to someone no mayter what society has told is in the past
