Unconditional love......loving without expecting it in return.....if you love him and you are ready to tell him......then tell him because you want him to know you love him not because you want him to say it back or are afraid he will not say it back.

I Love you to me is very serious and I don't throw it around much at all. My DH on the other hand tells me he loves me constantly....like every 5 minutes we are in the same room together. I love him more than life as well I just don't say the words as often as he does. I guess everyone has their own opinion of what you should say or do to express your love. To me its snuggling, hugging, holding hands etc. I guess I don't feel like I have to say I love you for him to know I love him.

He on the other hand says it constantly along with everything else. I don't think I would have ever been comfortable saying I love you unless I was sure he felt the same way....but he said it first and I returned it, of course we were only 15 at the time and it took a really long time for both of us to realize that it was really love.

I did say it first and SO still hasn't said it back. We have talked about it but he is honest that he doesn't say the words, he prefers to show me how he feels by his actions. And he said he takes what I do more seriously than what I say. He knows how I feel about him by my actions more than my words.

I know that it sounds strange, but his ex-wife was telling him she loved him right up til the day she ran off with someone else and abandoned him and their two kids. So as you can see, he has reason not to put much stock in the words. I understand this and don't care that he doesn't say it. I am not one to say it all the time anyway (maybe twice a year).

One thing I'm thinking (in this case) is that if it scared him, even if he thought he heard it he would have just ignored it until it couldn't be ignored anymore.

Me either. I doubt I would ever be the first to say it. Most of my BFs have said it way too early (such a turn-off), and some obviously should have never said it. Some people just throw those words around so easily.
