Do You Wait?

United States
December 28, 2010 6:04pm CST
Sometimes when I am on the phone with my husband, when the conversation is over I wait for him to say "I Love You" and most of the time he does say it and maybe I am wrong for waiting because he does say it 99% of the time. But I do get sad when he does not say it even though I can hear through the phone that he is busy. But I wait for those three words. My question is even if it is your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, do you wait for this to be said to you?

Well,i think you must be a very sesentive girl.You know,someone has said i am a sesentive one too. I don't think it is so important to say that three words every time he calls you.As you said,he is very busy,so when he finishs the topic on the phone,he will hang up immediately.There is nothing wrong with that. Just remember,what one does is more important than what he says.A man really loves you maybe not say too many "i love you",but he will show how he cares you through his deeds.Am i right. Wish you a happy marriage!

Hi, In my opinion this makes hardly any difference if you are not said "I love you" for love is not that has to be brought to the lips. If I love my wife I love her and why need I tell her every time that I love her. Does not saying so mean that I do not love her anymore? If possible try to get adjusted to th other side too. For me love should not be in words alone it should be indeeds.

No it doesn't mean you don't love her I am sure you do, but women do like to hear it once in a while I am not saying all the time but we do like to hear those 3 words especially if we have not heard them in a while and we know they love us anyway.

I also wait for my boyfriend to say "I love you" on the phone. It makes me think that he really cares for me. There was one time when I said "I love you" first, I waited for his response. He replied, "Thank you". I really got disappointed to what he said so I dropped the call.. Then he called back. I immediately answered the phone and he said "I love you..." I paused for a moment and cried as I said, "I love you too" He said he was sorry to have said "thank you" instead of "I love you.." From that time on.. I always wait for my boyfriend to say "I love you" first...

And I expect every time, but never do these words. Only once told me: "little love" and I was anointed to the soul's words, but have not been repeated ever since. I do not know why it is so hard to pronounce these words are probably so insensitive her .... anyway,he's lost, I'll take care of it!

I do not wait because I know that my hubby loves me and I do not have to hear him say it all of the time to know that the love is there.

i don't see it as a requirement, but it does feel good when someone special tells me those words. it can get a little mushy sometimes, but saying or hearing those words every now and then can have special effects, lol.

I don’t wait for the words for every day phone calls but when my husband goes away on business which he often does for his job I do like to hear those three words and he almost always says them before he hangs up but if it doesn’t seem those precious words are not forthcoming I will say it because I am not too good at waiting for anything!

Yes those 3 words are always good to hear and I am not good with waiting either. Have a good day.

I suppose I've never really stopped to think about just who says it first or how many times we say it. We just seem to say it all the time to each other, and our children. Even our children say "I love you" quite a bit throughout the day, but it is not like each of us are waiting for the other to say it. We just say it and the other replies with "I love you too".

We say it often around here too, I was just on the phone with my husband and I caught myself waiting for him to say it, L.O.L. but I know he does. He made me sad this morning and I was crying and he said he was sorry and he loved me and I guess that is why I was waiting.

I don't like to wait for those little words to come. They are said either said or they aren't. i won't be crushed just because thosed words weren't in the conversation.

I don't necessarily wait for it, but I do appreciate when it is said. I understand that people differ in the way they express their feelings but sometime you just have to hear those words for comfort. Buts its best not to expect to much so that we wont be too disappointed right?

Hmm, I don't wait for it, my bf also doesn't wait for it. We're not the type who says i love you all the time, there are times though when I want to hear it and I ask him if he loves me, and e does respond :) YAY

Sometimes I wait when I'm on the phone for my husband to say I love you. But its not really a requirement. I know he loves me and he knows I love him without the words needing to be worded. Granted I won't lie it is nice to hear him say it but its not a requirement in my relationship.

Yes but it nice to hear it from him before you say it, sometimes I wait for a long time before I even say it to see what happens, and then he says "You haven't told me something in a long time" L.O.L. I ask what he said you don't say you love me for a long time and I said I was waiting for you first!! It is funny! But he knows I love him!!
