In a relationship, partners can have different approaches when it comes to expressing love. One might express it a lot with his or her gesture while the other one can be a little less expressive ( It also depends on our upbringing and cultural differences too).

Ways to deal with a partner who likes to express a lot!
If your partner expresses his or her feelings via texts, PDAs and through a lot of surprises, then you should always be appreciative. Always respect their feelings and efforts. While they do it all for you, they might expect the same level of investment. Sometimes you might not feel like doing a particular thing but you say yes just to make them happy! It can include giving acceptance to their PDAs or even having sex without consent. If you are not comfortable just communicate. Remember not expressing love doesn’t mean that you don’t feel the same.
In case, if you are not able to reciprocate the same, then you need to openly talk to your partner. A relationship expert on Quora said, “My advice would be: sit with them, tell them VERY directly and VERY firmly. If you are woman, then remember (men don’t like ‘drama’ and ‘hysterics’) that there are certain things that you are not comfortable doing, that it’s no reflection on your feelings for him and that you must be true to yourself, and finally, that you understand that he might not want to continue the relationship (you must be prepared for that.) It could be a possibility.
But if there is a mutual understanding and love between the two of you, he will understand and allow you that space.
