Is it normal for your partner to ask you if you love him like every week? Do you ask your partner about that? Coz im kinda irritated by that when my partner ask me that question often it was like he does believe me or he doesnt feel secured about my love. What about you? Do you think it's just okay to ask that to your partner? Share me your your thoughts. Thanks a lot!

Oh yeah, it's okay. Maybe your partner just wanna hear those 3 words. Saying I love you to someone often relieves stress and tiredness.

You're welcome. When you want your relationship to last a lifetime, please do avoid thinking negative things and most of all avoid being negative as well.

No i don't think it is normal, that is to much, every week? I think he is insecure. If it was me i would react the same it would drive me crazy. Maybe he had a bad experience before u. and that is why he is behaving that way. Talk to him.

Just say "I love you honey" before he asks you the question. If you don't love him, don't say it.

each pair must create good communication. relationship will continue to run if it involved good communication. if communication is not running well, there will be a misunderstanding.

Maybe he is insecure and needs to hear it from you more often. I know when I get to feel insecure I ask my DH. Also, are you showing him that you love him? Do a few super nice (and loving) things for him and see if it slows or stops the question. BUT only do them out of love, don't do them b/c you want the question to stop.

That what he wants me to do to be more sweet and romantic but im not like that. I do sweet things but it seems that it's still not enough. Im not really a romantic person but he want a romantic partner. Do you think this relationship will last? I love him and I always try to be sweet sometime but its hard coz he wants me to be sweet everytime. Im just being what i am but he wants me to be naturally sweet. *sigh* Thanks for the response! I really appreciate it. =)

Always be yourself. But think about this...it may have more to do with you trying to do them instead of actually pulling them off. Stop at the store and pick up a card for him for no reason, cook his favorite dinner one night, etc. The little things really "matter" to some people. :) But don't change who you are. Even with everything I've suggested, I stand by the principle that if he doesn't love you for who you are then you are better off. :) If you need help thinking of things to do, let me know. I would be happy to help ya out. :)

He needs reassurance. Maybe he doesn't feel much security in your relationship. If you love him, saying it a hundred times is not an issue. So if you show him or give him the assurance he needs, maybe he'll stop asking.

It might mean your partner is feeling insecure. He wants to be reassured. You have to be patient with him. He might need reassurance. I hope that you sort out this thing between you too. Dont be impatient with him.

When I was married, I asked my husband this question from time to time. Sometimes our lives were so hectic and especially towards the end of the relationship, we didn't always connect as we should have and so ya, I guess maybe I was insecure as to whether he loved me or not.

Why should you be irritated is it that you are lying about your feelings. I love it when my boyfriend tells me that he loves me because it makes me feel special. I don't see anything wrong telling your boyfriend everyday that you love him. Maybe you are not in love with him and whenever you tell him you are deceiving yourself. Love is a beautiful thing and it comes naturally so my advice to you is to search your heart truthfully and see if you indeed in love with him.

Of course I love him it was just like we had some fight just 2 weeks ago about something. I dont wanna tell the story =). Well i clear everything to him but it seems like he doesnt believe me still or i thought maybe he thinks im looking for some fling. But i tell him im not and I make him sure that im not. Thats y it irritates me when he ask me that question. Coz i love him so much and i dont want him to think that im lossing my love for him. It irritates me bcoz i dont know what to do now. I dont know how to make him assure that im not looking for a fling and that he's the only one im inlove with. We had many fights before, we were together for 3 yrs now so we really have had a lots of fight before. Thats why it hard to explain why I get irratation so easy. Thanks so much for your response. I really appreciate it. =)

So his insecurity comes from something that had happen in the past. I think that you have to really do a heart to heart talk with him. Reassure him that what had happen was a message and that although it has happen it does not make you love him any else. Instead told him that you have learn from it and that this has open your heart more where loving him is concern. Fighting in an relationship is not healthy. My previous relationship was constant fighting. It drains you both physical and emotionally. Now that I found my present boyfriend it is costing alot of problem where trust is concern even though he has not done anything so far for me to mistrust him. My friend heart to heart talk is the best thing right now because even telling him he is still in doubt. I see where this work because whenever time me and my other have a disagreement we trash it out with talking about it. I wish you all the best.

Well its just a sense of insecurity your partner may be having or else he loves you very much and wants to the same thing from you.Obviously it not the question of believing you because that may have not caused him to ask you this question on the other hand he would have started questioning you on other things like whom are you dating with now-a-days and all.So forget this and assure him that you love him very much.And in case the thing still irritates you just sit down with him and tell him your problem in a soft manner I am sure if he really loves you hi will surely understand.

Thank you so much for that nice advice. You're really appreciated. Thanka a lot. =)

First of all, if she is a female, why do you call her 'him'? Secondly, she is very insecure and is trying to find ways that might curb her insecurities by things like asking you to be more romantic, more verbal with your affection etc etc. When you arent being how she wants you to be, it confirms in her mind, the thoughts she has about you not loving her enough. Its a vicious circle. You say you are not that type of person. So dont be. Your girlfriend is being unreasonable asking you to be someone you are not. Are you asking her to be something different? No, of course you arent. She is unlikely to feel settled within herself until she finds the right person or that she matures as a person. As she has these insecurities she will always be 'looking' for those feelings of worthiness and purpose. It is feelings such as these that lead to affairs and such. You are not the right person for your girlfriend......and she is not the right person for you. No matter what you do, it will not be enough and it will start to put a strain on your relationship. Love is natural and it flows....sometimes gentle and serene and other times wild and thunderous......just like an ocean. But you never should have to ask if love is there! Hope that answers your question.

I didn't tell at the beginning that she's a female because i'm worried that no body would care to answer my post. =) Im glad that it didnt matter to you because you response to it. Thanks a lot. I just asked her to control her temper sometime because she is always hot headed. That's the only thing i asked her to change. Thanks a lot for the response! ^_^

Love is a continuous process of chemical reaction.So it needs refrshed time to time. Love means sacrifice too. I was also irritated when my love one always asked the same question. But now I feel, it is nothing serious. If u r asked this question three times a week, then u say ur partner six times I love u per week.Otherwise, Ur love may be proved lessening.So, carry on..

I think it may have something to do with them being insecure. My wife does the same thing, though it happens more about the same time each month. It bothers me to. It makes them seem needy and having security issues. The main reason it bothers me is because it is usually accompanied by questioning about what I have been doing. I don't really go anywhere without my wife, so why be worried that I am cheating. I find this very irritating and frustrating.

I guess I am a little strange because I woud never ask my ma if he loved me. If I can't feel it, then no " I Love you " will make it happen.I hope he wold be the same. If there is love, then the words are just a plus.

My husband & I tell each other that we love the other person several times a day. At least 4 or 5. We don't have to ask!

Oh yeah, I'd be mighty irritated by that too. Definitely sounds like a security issue unfortunately, so they must have been real hurt in a past relationship, possibly cheated on, which I've been through, and it does NOT make you feel comfortable with yourself afterwards. But I don't ask that, never ever. If they love me, they'll tell me, but if it's like a year that we're dating, and nothing? Well, MAYBE I'd ask, or just go to someone else.

Just recently, I have asked my partner for the same question. Do you still love me? He has not been saying this words for long time. We have an argument before i started to ask him this question. However, he is unable to say it out even until today. He said he is not a playboy. Therefore, cannot simply say the words out. I was upset because me and him are already husband and wife. Yet, he still unable to say the words out to his own wife. I am really doubting him whether he do care about me now. He added in, even we divorce now, he will not feel hurt as well. Those words just like needles to my heart. He is not saying for fun, he mean it. If "i love u" can give the partner have more confidence, I don't mind saying it again if he ask again and again but must be from truthful heart.

Fortunately for me I don't have that problem but that is probably because every morning when we wake up we kiss and say I Love You and every evening when we go to bed we do the same ritual so I think he pretty much knows after 26 + years that I do or else I wouldn't say it and I wouldn't still be around! By the way if one of us are leaving the house without the other one we always kiss and say I Love You also...just in case something terrible should happen and we never see each other again!

we all have our insecurities and that means we needed or badly needed to be told all the time about those wonderful three words... who knows maybe he just like the thought of being told i love you!!! you know how that feels right... well shrug those irritations and nothing will be gone from you if you'll tell him that right?!
