You’ve been married for 50 years and you’re in love, so maybe you just speak a different ‘love language’

• Every week Annalisa Barbieri addresses a problem sent in by a reader

I have been married to my husband for more than 50 years. We married as teenagers and are now in our 70s. We love each other, and are in love.

The problem is I don’t appear to have a romantic bone in my body. My husband is romantic, and I either never notice or I think, “What’s the point?” I do try, but it always seems perfunctory, and I know he is disappointed when I don’t “get it”.

Focus on yourself and your own self-worth, and you never know what may follow.

I’m a 40-year-old man who has used dating apps for eight years and met about 100 different women, not counting the ones with whom I just chatted. That’s a lot of first dates, quite a few second dates and a few short relationships. Nothing stuck.
