"I Love You"

Not including my DS, I tell my DH every time I talk to him on the phone, every night & every morning that I'm awake, when he leaves. I also tell my sisters, nieces & nephews, when I talk to them on the phone or am separating from them, after a visit.

Nope. I told the guy before last " because I'm in love with you stupid" but not "I love you."

thats a funny word, some of us tell everyone we love, every time we see them, cause its important other just freze up before the word come out, I think rather you say it or not,w e all love many people, rather we say it or not
 
My parents on Sunday, my husband and kids this morning. My sisters, ex-brother in law and nephews as well as a friend I hadn't seen for 2yrs on Saturday night.

Oh I totally agree. I honestly wholly believe in actions speak louder than words.

For me, I was thinking about "romantic partners" when I posted this and since there have only been 3 of those in the past 26 years. The first one was short (like 2 months), the next was TOTALLY a FWB type of relationship, the last/most recent was more than FWB but less than a "real" relationship. So therefore none were ever relationships that saying "I love you" was part of it.

I agree that those words mean different things to different people. I used to only tell my DH & DS, because I think people throw the word around too freely. When my FIL died, it appeared everyone "loved" my MIL, because they all said they did. I guess that's what her friends & close acquaintances do. Not for me to judge, but that's not me. I started telling my sisters, nieces & nephews (& I should add my great nieces & great nephews) I love them, after I lost my parents & sister. I decided I would never lose another person that I truly love, without telling them.
 
I say it practically every day. To DH in the lovey-dovey sense and to friends and other family members fairly regularly. I almost said it to the pizza delivery lady today when she showed up - I'm painting the house and it was my first decent meal all weekend. :rotfl2:

That's great for you. I think people have different interpretations of love. To me, it means, "I would give you half of my liver, even if I knew there was a very good chance I may not survive the surgery", "I would jump in front of you, without a second thought, if someone had a gun pointed at you", or "I'd lose my home to get you the medical care you need." There are many people who I care deeply about & try to help any way I can, but there are few people that I would sacrifice my life or home for, without a second thought. To me, telling everyone I care about, but wouldn't sacrifice my life or lifestyle for that I love them devalues the word "love". You may be willing to make those sacrifices for your friends or you may have a different interpretation of love. As I said, it's not for me to judge or decide how you should feel about love.

I say it to DH several times a day because that’s how he gets love. Me, I don’t need to say it or hear it constantly. I know he loves me because he doesn’t bug me as soon as I wake up. It’s mostly for his safety

It’s good to understand the emotional needs of your loved ones. All the acts of service in the world won’t totally satisfy a “words of affirmation” person and vice versa. I think a lot of people tend express love the way they prefer to receive it which doesn’t always get the whole job done.
