sometimes a healthy relationship requires the people in it to teach the other how to love them properly. we all come from such different upbringings that what we may deem a sufficient love expression may not be that for the person receiving it from us.
you & your partner owe not a single soul an explantation for how you pursue your relationship. How quickly it progresses or how slowly you take things. Your relationship is on YOUR terms and follows YOUR rules. idc what nobody say.
