When was the last time you said "I Love You" to someone besides your children?
At least 26 years ago

Nope. I told the guy before last " because I'm in love with you stupid" but not "I love you."26 years, wow, havent you even said it not sure if you met it

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.
Oh I totally agree. I honestly wholly believe in actions speak louder than words.I think rather you say it or not,w e all love many people, rather we say it or not
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.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
Some of mine say it to me - I have no reason not to believe them.I agree that those words mean different things to different people.

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.Some of mine say it to me - I have no reason not to believe them.
I would add to this that there are different types of love. We love our children, we love our parents/family and we love our spouses/partners all in different ways.I think people have different interpretations of love.
I agree completely!I would add to this that there are different types of love. We love our children, we love our parents/family and we love our spouses/partners all in different ways.
I have never been one to say " I love you " to friends.
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.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
I'm guessing you know the answer to that. Your wife has probably reminded you many times that it doesn't.Does saying I know count?
