Some people show affection through gentle teasing (hi, I am one of them).
After all, as Bustle reported when they spoke with Julienne Derichs, a licensed marriage and family therapist with Couples Counseling Today, “Being playful is such an important part of a relationship. It helps couples connect, de-stress, and it acts [as] an important repair technique when couples are feeling tense over conflict. Laughter and teasing can help de-escalate the conflict and help you remember that you actually like each other.”
So we’ve found a viral Twitter thread that may spark some inspiration for you. After all… “Literally nothing on Earth is better than repeatedly doing a bit your partner doesn’t like.”
