Do you say I love you to your significant other or loved ones daily?

Do you say, "I love you" to your significant other or loved ones daily? I don't because I think if you say I love you and overuse it, it'd be meaningless. My boyfriend and loved ones know I love them regardless of me telling them. My boyfriend, he doesn't say I love you often but I do know he loves me and when he DOES say it, it just melts my heart and it feels as if we just dated & makes me have butterflies in my tummy. Even though we've been together for over 4 years :P

No I dont say I love you to my loved ones daily.I just dont because they already know I love them a ton but if they need reassurance then I would gladly say "I love you!" I agree with you tho that if you say I love you to much it loses its feeling.

When I was still in a relationship, I say "I love you" everyday every morning when I wake up.

I don't say that daily or rarely actually, not that I don't love my husband ofcourse but I just don't say it often, he says it to me sometimes but not always either. It is not a culture for us to say it, I don't remember hearing my dad or my mom ever said it to each other.

I love you tends to be dry as years fast by - Only mention it when your meant it.
When i was courting the girlfriend initially and while making love for the first few times, yes i will mention the love your thingie, but after sometime like few years later, i did not mention it anymore since it is dry and already mentioned and it will be tasteless and no emotion with that sentences so better not mention it scare it will be mistaken for being fake.I guess maybe the relationship has dried out.Haha.

Just read your post and it perk my interest. Me and your boyfriend have the same opinion in saying I love you. We tend not to overuse it because for me, if you kept on using the word it became meaningless. I remember my boyfriend. he kept on telling me how much he loves me, and he overused the words..I told him, it's not bad to say I love you but if you don't feel it don't overuse it. Nah, when I want to hear those magic words from him... he refused to let me hear it, and I really regretted it. Because I don't know if he still loves me. I was afraid because our relationship was really tested that time. So, I was really hoping that he would tell me that he still love me, but to no avail.. I didn't hear it. Until, we overcome our problem in our relationship... he told me not to stop him from telling me that he loves me... from then on and until today we both exchange our I love you's. And this brings me assurance that I only own his heart :)

That's really nice :) It all depends on people. I know that my boyfriend loves me even if he doesn't say it daily. But if he likes to, then go for it :) Thanks for sharing!

I think it is more the thought that counts, sometimes it is our actions that speak louder than words. Being a caring loving partner is more important than saying i love you everyday

My husband and I do make an effort to tell and show each other that we love the other. We also try to show all of our loved ones that we love them as well. It is important to us to so.

hi infatuatedby, I always say the "I love you" to my significant other whenever I have the chance to say it. We are in a long distance relationship for more than 3 years now. We recently had our break up but not because we no longer love each other but because of some misunderstanding. My boyfriend and I are always busy with work and because of that we cannot talk as much as we want to. That is why every time that I have a chance to talk to him I tell him how much I love him. Now that we are back with each other once again, I feel our love grows stronger. Although, there are still days in which we do not talk at all, but in our heart, we understand we belong with each other.

Well not on a daily basis, but my husband says that too me more often than I do. Sometimes I surprise him, buy sending him an SMS message with the words "I love you" during working hours. I prefer to say them in actions but sometimes I also say it in words since there are just some words that needs to be said and assures our partner that we value them a lot.

hi, in my situation,my boyfriend and i dont much says that words as long as we talk or meet,for me i think it will depend upon the person who give meaning of it,even we always say that everyday its still a meaningful to us.

Oh, saying I love you is part of our daily activities with my kids, especially my youngest son, before he go out in play with his playmates, he hug me and say I love you, take care.... and when he returned from playing he say it again and added I miss you. Before we sleep at night, I often say I love you kids, good night same thing in the morning.

Yes I do say "I love you" daily especially to my kids. That's one way of assuring them that I really take care and love them. I do believe that words are powerful especially if you utter them daily to your loved ones. It can change person's lives if it is done heartily.

Yes, i do really say " i love you " to my one and only wife specially every morning before going to work to make her feel great and comfortable each day when i leave home. Upon saying " i love you " a passionate kiss follows as a lucky charm to have a successful day ahead.
