If your SO never says "i love you"
- 21 Replies
My bf never has told me that he loves me. If I tell him he says "thank you". So to me....he doesn't love me if he can't say it back. Only mentions it by saying "i wouldnt have gave you that if i didn't." Would you after a while believe that he doesnt really love you?
You really believe that? Do you know what it would mean to me if he said it once and meant it? I'd be ecstatic and probably cry. Instead I hear about things he has bought me to show love. I dont care about $$.

Actions speak louder than words..
People have different ways they like to show and receive love. Some people express love through words while others do it through gifts or shared activities or quality time or acts of service like helping with chores, etc. Still others like touch and physical closeness the best. It just sounds like he has a different way of showing love (and receiving love) than you do. You should talk to him and both of you share with each other how you like to receive love and give love in return. Perhaps he doesn't know how important it is to you to hear the words "I love you."
That's weird.

How long have you been with him?
yup. i would be aggravated.
its usually in some one's actions, but saying wouldn't kill you if you meant it. Maybe he has some emotional past about it that makes him wary of it.
he could also just not be expressive in that way at all. i didn't think that was possible til i met my MIL ex husband. He never said i love you and he thought she was annoying when she spoke. But her loved her?? Men don't make sense sometimes lol
have you spoken to him about it??
what do you enjoy most when he eats you?
