At times men can tell you they love you but you don't feel like they do. How do you know he's not lying to you?

I knew that he really means what he says when on the first date he got my a supplement for heart (I screwed up my heart so it acted up sometimes) instead of flowers. It showed me that he cares about my health more then about getting me in bed... then he spent all his money on phone calls when i went away to ukraine to visit my sick grandmother. he spent so much money that he had to eat nothing but dried fruits and nuts (it's all he had left at home)

That is very sweet of him. He is a very kind hearted man. You must be glad to have someone that gives you all of his heart when all that is left is just love surrround one another. That's true love.

Well, i can just tell that my husband loves me. Somedays he may act distant, and not act like he loves me, but when i miscarried our child, he cried with me, and he was there with me the whole way. And he hates having hair, he normally shaves his head completely bald, like mr. clean, but he tries to let it grow some for me. And if i tell him not to do something, he wont because he knows it will upset me. If he didnt love me, he wouldnt care what i did. He wouldnt care about hurting my feelings, or any of that. I know the night before he left for his deployment, he got the pre deployment jitters i guess you could say, and he tried to leave me, and he hurt me pretty bad, and i was about to leave to go stay with his sister, and he stopped me, and he cried that whole night. Ive never really seen him cry, because he doesnt show his emotions to much, so i knew that he was just blowing smoke. I asked him why he was crying, and he said he wasnt, there was something wrong with his nose that was making his eyes tear up. Sometimes men are so silly. But theres just certain things they do that you know they love you no matter what. We may have our ups and downs, and we may get mad at each other from time to time, but thats part of life, and ill always know he loves me.

That was very touching and sweet. Those memories are the ones which I one day will have with my husband. My boyfriend at the moment does that to me yet he constantly tells me that he loves me. Like your husband, my boyfriend never cries and often when he is on the edge of something emotional I ask him what's wrong and he tries to toughin up and say its nothing. My boyfriend is the macho type and is always trying to follow the trend but I know that when he doesn't show me that he loves me, he still does and sadly I do not realize that right now. I think I might be a bit too young to realize his greatness and love. Although on the other hand, he knows that he messes up and IS TRYING to fix everything.

when he find ways to really mean what he says... you're a girl, girls have great sense of knowing ones emotions... you should know that... once the person is sincere, he'll make an effort to make you believe that he really is sincere.

well agreed with you that man lie sometimes on the matter of love and relationship....consider them stupid or anything of your choice...but it doesn't means that they are not faithful....when man doesn't speaks about his true feeling it simply means that his silence is for every once happiness...but he speaks the truth when he gets the surity of 99.9% from her love one's that they will never cheat and hurt the ego.....in that case no one in fact raises themselves to stand in front of him......and many a time they doesn't feel that they are in love....

In my opinion, if they appreciate and notices the small things you do. And when he does say it to you, it's at the most random times but the perfect time to say it. He doesn't say it just because you say it or because he had to say it. And when he tells you he loves you, he tells it to you face to face and he looks straight into your eyes and tells you it. Or maybe try leaving him and see if he comes back. LOL. Because you know... You don't realize you had something good until they're gone.

Love can only be known by the person itself. You may not know the truth.

you will know. Love is a mutual feeling. If it doesn't feel natural coming from him then you will know it. I am a man myself and I know when a girl doesn't actaully mean it when she says it. For actually knowing I guess we'll never know But if he truly means it you will know it.
