An Analysis of Belly/Jeremiah (& Conrad's) Love Languages From TSITP-

Jeremiah and Belly are both physically affectionate. (I've seen some people attributing them to being all about sex, but physical affection is not to mean sex). Jeremiah and Belly are both tactile, and Belly specifically expresses herself through caresses and touches that reflect a warm, giving nature.

Your attachment styles, top love languages, and preferences in affection don't just automatically change with different people, but you may be/act different with them...

She's a nurturing person...with Jeremiah AND Conrad

(You see how Belly is more dominant when she's comforting him?)

That's the nurturing side in Belly that does not change:

However, in how they show their affection in their reprocity, or in terms of physicality, I think Jeremiah is the more dominant one.

Physical affection is both of their love languages. (Conrad is maybe acts of service, I think, or maybe even gift-giving...see where Belly appreciates those little gestures... where Jeremiah does not always notice the small stuff or focus on little details in terms of materialism).

(I don't wanna give my bias too much, but this is my post, and I just think the candy and the infinity necklace are cop-outs, because Jeremiah notices & pulls out the hair in her shirt too (acts of service) and is aware to some of her needs, but they're definitely pushing the aspect of him being forgetful of small things like booking the trip, etc))

^^^ Once again, Jeremiah is tactile, but Belly comes off more nurturing in regards to their physical affection.

It's also so clear that Belly values reassurance and Words of Affirmation is something Jeremiah provides for her, as she does in ways for him, and is super important to him. (And maybe less so than the top 2, but quality time also seems super important to her...and the way Jeremiah and her are attached at the hip since the 4 years, in which we last saw them, are evidence of this....as is her relationship w/Conrad, where we saw them with multiple moments just enjoying time together)....

So in summary:

Conrad is an Acts of Service-Gift Giver, and

Jere is Physical Touch-Words of Affirmation,

with both heavily sharing/providing in the aspect of Quality Time.

I'm gonna shift to an adjacent topic, because it's also relevant to the conversation, but her desire for Words of Affirmation is also determined by her anxious attachment style (that's why she struggles with Conrad, so much). Belly and Jeremiah do communicate because they have that best-friends~ codependency dynamic. And Jeremiah is constantly affirming for her. Belly needs that validation and that goes into the attachment styles of the 3 mains, as well:

Belly and Jeremiah are both anxious-attachment. This is where the codependency comes in.

Conrad is avoidant-attachment. The irony is that both Jeremiah and Conrad are unhealthy for Belly, but in different ways. Conrad is still avoidant in Season 3; that hasn't changed; we see in Ep 1 as he takes the entire few days putting off the conversation w/Jere that he won't be there to make Susannah's speech, then deciding to leave a voice-mail to skip the conflict/disappointment (and he continues to do so up to now). He does the same thing at prom...and it leads to Belly initiating the break up.

Belly and Jeremiah being the same-(as it is without their personal growth)-is not necessarily a healthy factor for both of their development (this is strictly based on them as people and what's good for relationships, not any commentary on what their character development has been, or what qualifies as "interesting" character-development).

Conrad brings her insecurity because of how much she placed him on a pedestal and the succeeding heartbreak he caused her when she was 15 (and going through important years of her development....), and the continuous lack of closure/explanation she got for everything that occurred between them, because of Conrad's poor communication. This isn't to say he's at fault or me villianizing him...but this is important to acknowledge where Belly's deep-seated relationship issues stem from. It's also why physical insecurity pops out so intensely after Jere sleeps with someone else, while they were broken up, because she has put so much power into the price of sexual intimacy with a guy (to be completely clear, I'm not saying that valuing the significance of sex and it being a big deal of who she sleeps with, correlating trust with intimacy, and feeling betrayed by a romantic partner for sleeping with another person is wrong, silly, or not the complete appropriate response). I'm saying that Belly sleeping with 1 guy after Conrad (which again is fine...but immediately going to a place of hurt BECAUSE Conrad broke her heart (and she has allowed it to ruin her for healthy relationships that should be separate from her ex) are where it's a problem and she is damaged from this trauma, the same way Jere is from his family's emotional put-downs and abuse. It's an unavoidable factor that Belly did attach herself initially in their second round at a relationship and can only see herself with 1 other person from Conrad due to her having adolescent history with Jeremiah, her trusting him for it, and not wanting to branch out from the intertangled Kissing Cousins familiarity that was influenced on them from birth (fr it's sad)! It's codependency, it's unhealthy, and it's keeping her in an undeveloped state of progression & creating a poor sense of self in relation to romantic relationships and I don't know how people can't see that. I absolutely think it's valid for Belly to feel hurt, but it's important to acknowledge the root of why she puts so much weight on Cabo in the finding out scene ......when she's only slept with 2 boys AND THE 2 OF THEM ARE BROTHERS! it truthfully makes me not see how she could end up with either one of them, because she will be so screwed for the rest of her life. but i still have a choice opinion because of it (and how the story should've gone), so i'm gonna make my case for 1 & enjoy the journey til the end. (i love to mention the blueprint, so i'll do it again for comparison of what i mean from the bolded text above- Rachel finds out Ross slept with someone on their break and she's hurt/crying/betrayed. Belly finds out about Jeremiah at Cabo and she's hurt/hyperventilating/throwing up (also note: the ppl who think her reaction to this doesn't prove she loves Jeremiah show they know nothing about love or the psyche to cause one's feelings. She has to be invested/in love to be that affected). Both are justified in their emotions. Both are valid. (both even have the instance of prior experience to going through trauma surrounding this (different because Rachel actually got cheated on b4, while Belly got heartbroken from her first love), but both are trauma, nonetheless). However only one is holding herself together and walking away from the man, while the other is becoming sick on site and running down the street from her boyfriend because of the past damage she's unhealed from in her young adult life (and this isn't to villianize Conrad for his role (neither is it for Jere), but it is to give a thorough look at Belly and the psychology of her actions/feelings).
