When friends use love language differences to avoid relationship problems

My best friend and I have completely different love languages, and we've been using that to explain why our friendship feels effortful lately, but I'm starting to wonder if we're avoiding the real issue — that we've grown apart — by blaming it on incompatible ways of showing care.

What we've seen

Mismatched languages become a convenient explanation for drift that has deeper roots.
