I love you

Do say "I love you" to your partner, husband, wife, gf, and bf everyday? I always say those words to my husband everyday, but sometimes I got offended to his respond. He responds to me that I don't need to tell him everyday because he knows it already. He thinks that I am just too insecure and that's why I kept reminding him that I love him. The reason why I say those words because I feel like it and that's how I feel everyday. And now, I hesitate on saying those words to him because I am afraid that he will answer me that he knows it already and I don't need to remind him. :-( So, do you like to hear those words from the love of your life everyday? Or you just wanna hear it once in a while?

I used to have a friend that told me that everyday. It was very annoying. He would say it many times a day.

This friend of mine was what you call the other half. In other words intimate.

Well, if a friend tells me these words everyday would be different than saying it to your other half.

It's really sweet of you to be saying it to your husband everyday. I would love to hear that phrase everyday. It makes you feel secure because you know that there is still someone who will be there for you in good times and especially the bad ones. I think your husband is really lucky to have you.:)

Wow... I would feel a little disappointed actually if my husband was like this. Most of the time he texts me it, and tells me it and often quite a few times during the day. I feel it is quite important as you never know when something could happen in a fleeting moment and then you would regret not having that last chance to tell them that. So for me I find it quite important to tell him.

Me and my wife are constantly saying these words everyday. And we try to enforce it also to our child. He's 2 years old now and we always tell him to say "I love you" to us. And those words are very sweet to hear. Saying it everyday to our loved ones secures them that no matter what, we are always on their side.

My husband says he loves me almost every day. I tell him only once in a while. It seems like he doesn't want to hear either because he told me once that sometimes he feels like he doesn't deserve it. I think that if you are going to be apart for a time then you should say I love you because you never know if something happens and you don't see them again. It really has meaning when you say it then because you got to express how you feel without regret of not getting the chance should something happen.

I feel comfortable expressing my love but I think other people believe it should be saved for a special occasion. Different people feel loved in different situations. Some people might say that actions speak louder than words so... the words might not be as meaningful to them.

I show my love to my husband also everyday. He even told me that I am very sweet. :-)

This is a very powerful word in every relationship either you are married or not. The word I love you, could really turn the world for you. But if it is mentioned frequently its power will decay. Saying I love you is a music to the ear and it should not be mention only in special occasion but rather every time you want to express your feeling.

I guess I am blessed with a hubby who still says I Love You. Sometimes I would wake up and find a text message on my phone and it's from my hubby saying I Love You. Don't be offended if your husband doesn't reply back or respond to your saying of I Love You. There are just some guys who don't like to show their emotions and your hubby may be one of them. Maybe your saying of I Love You has become common to your husband, like a habit or an event that will come no matter what. I suggest that you stop (for a while) and see if he will miss that. My hubby and I don't say I love you to each other everyday, but I feel like a teenager when I see him send me this message and I know he feels the same way too. Maybe you don't need to say it all the time.

I think it is very important to express love for your partner in a relationship. I don't tend to say it off-hand, but when I really feel it or when I can see that my wife is feeling down or needs some suppport of a loving partner. I tell her everyday, but sometimes I recognize that she needs a hug and for me to hold her for a while. I think it would get to me if it was said constantly or if my wife was feeling insecure, but it is said spontaneously when it is said. _Derek

I think Love is important and the Words you speak will plant in the mind where one will not forget. I would say everyday is nothing wrong with that and he should tell you also it is a good habit and a great way. He should not complain, hope nothing bothers him in doing so. ask him kindly if it ok to tell him you love him ? Tell him you would like to hear it also and if he says he would not like to hear it everyday then tell him nicely ok but my love is strong for you and I need to sometimes ok..and if he says yes then tell him on special occasions and wisper to yourself I love you if you need to everyday..Words are important when spoken and a meaning behind it.. depends on how spoken..and when..I think telling someone you love them should not bother them and Yes it is good to tell them especially children everyday and it will not depart from them as they grow..I love to hear I love you and it makes me feel good that I am reminded of it. one should always tell EACH OTHER that they are loved..no one knows what tomorrow will bring..

Your partner has a different language of love. Try to discover it, too. Well, I am very much fond of saying "I love you" to my partner, too. And good to me that he likes hearing it from me and he also responds the positive way. I like doing it too. For me, that is so sweet deed between couple.

It's good to be expressive and to convey your feelings, but if you do it everyday the emotions will loose their essence. "I Love You" are the magical words and magic cannot and should not be used so often. There are so many other ways in which you can express your love and feeling towards him. If he doesn't want you to repeat your emotions to him, then don't do it. Let him miss the magic.

Yeah, you are right about it. I am not saying those words anymore and he didn't even miss it.

It really depends, most of the women likes to hear it not just everyday but as often as they like but not all men do. Instead of saying it everyday, make some special way of expressing it either through simple hugs, kisses and cuddling, that what i think men mostly prefer.

I do say I love you and I really like to hear it anytime, well unless if its coming from someone I don't love. But if it's from someone I feel deeply for, oh anytime they can say that and I always do tell my loved ones that I love them......especially my daughter.

I am sad for you that your husband doesn't want to hear your words of love every day. You sound like a very sweet, loving person, and it's not being insecure that makes you want to say those words. Maybe you're not as compatible as you could be. I guess if he doesn't want to hear those three little words then maybe you should just say to yourself, every day 'I love you'. And perhaps, once you stop telling him how much you love him, he will realise just how insensitive he has been and how much he misses hearing those wonderful words.

Thank you. :-) I say those words to my daughter everyday, but I stop saying it to my husband. It didn't even bother him nor misses it. Well, he just maybe don't like to hear it at all. :D

I think that you should tell people how you feel about them as often as you can, because life's too short to have regrets when you can't speak to them anymore and you realise that you didn't say things to them that you should have done at the time. I always tell my partner that I love him, whether that is in a text message or in person when I see him, and I will always say it to my family as well before I go to bed as I do think that it is very important not to have any regrets when you grow old and start to lose family members.

I love to hear the words I love you from my partner and I feel it necessary to tell my partner as much as possible that I love them. You never know what moment will be your last or when your partner could be gone either by leaving you or passing on into the afterlife. It's important to express your love to everyone because love is the most powerful emotion that we have as humans. My girlfriend broke up with me about 6 months ago but I still try to express love to her even if I'm just her friend. I don't know about your husband's response, I personally could never get tired of hearing someone tell me they love me. I don't understand why he doesn't like hearing it from you. If love is there though I guess it isn't an issue but I don't know how I would feel about someone telling me that they didn't need me to tell them I love them everyday. I would at least tell my ex-girlfriend I loved her everyday at night when I kissed her goodnight or tucked her in.

I tell my boyfriend that I love him each and every single day. I not only tell him, but I show him a lot too.. we do lots of things together.. we watch movies, we cook together, we just enjoy each other's company. We are basically inseparable and I believe that expressing that cannot ever be enough!!

Men! Sometimes you just can't live with them, and they won't fit under the floorboards. My husband was the same way, didn't want to hear it every day. So for a whole week I never said it at all. Then he became all defensive and wanted to know why I didn't say it anymore! So I gave him whatfor. I told him that he can't have it both ways. If I love him and want to tell him, then I will. I asked him what was so difficult, that I was the one who was always saying it, or that he didn't want to have to say it back to me? Men are so fickle, they could give us women a run for our money. You just tell him that you love him and you'll keep right on saying so, and if he doesn't like it, he's a silly sausage. Most men yearn to find someone who will love them forever, what's his problem? He's found you!
