When families use love languages to avoid difficult conversations

Our family has always used the love languages as a way to understand each other better, but I'm starting to realize that maybe we've used them to excuse some people's inability to show up in ways that actually matter — like my brother saying he's just 'not a words person' when what I really need is for him to acknowledge what happened between us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The languages of love become a way to rationalize emotional unavailability rather than bridge it.
