Do You Need To Hear the Words "I Love You"?

[juicylips]

Are these words exchanged frequently between you and your partner?

Or

It is just assumed?

How long did it take before these words were said between the two of you?

Are you waiting for someone to finally say those words to you?

No, love can not be assumed

It must be there, alive or it is dead

I will say no more

 

[Willing and Unsure]

i'm still waiting for someone to say those words to me and actually mean them.. i'm sick of being lied to and cheated, and having my heart played with... *shakes head*

 

[Wiggles]

I say it all the time to my bf. I mean it truly every time. I usually say it when I'm thinking about how much I love him.

I think it was probably around a month or two before we finally said we loved each other.

I've been hearing it all my life from my family. I believe they mean it too. So no, I haven't been waiting.

I don't believe that I need to hear it. As long as it's shown in some way.

 

[Natalie Nessus]

Everyone should speak of love

It is in our lives

Tell me who did this to you and I will kick his ass.

I have missed you!!! Lots and Lots!!


Someone like you deserves a real Prince Charming. Complete with white horse and castle.

I am waiting patiently for the right person to come along and say those words......

Love and the words "I love you" will come when it is meant to happen. I don't search for either now...........

I want to hear the words "I love you" come from the heart without any hesitation.......

 

[Natalie Nessus]

When love happens, there are no words, yes?

There is no stated rules.

It is known but it grows

 

[Natalie Nessus]

Love is all

 

[Willing and Unsure]

taht would be my ex-bf... and i'm really bitter right now since i believed him when he said he loved me.. and then 2 nights ago finally found out how selfish he really is. and to top it off, he took me for granted (it just hit me at the end of the relationship), and how can you possibly love someone if you take them for granted?

and its not just that, but the bastage had the decency to tell me that he was having sex with someone else less than a week after he dumped me, which means that he was cheating on me (she was a virgin.. i think its pretty hard to get with a virgin in less than a week).. and now it just hurts to know how things really were as opposed to what i had thought them to be

and thank you Cassidy... its the well wishes that others keep giving me (despite not really receiving any yesterday) that keeps me going right now.. despite my bit of bitterness *hugs*

Looking back over my last couple relationships I felt like I needed to hear those words. Those three little words are very important as long as they are meant when they are said. They reassure and build up the other person's feelings of worth and self esteem. Then again if over used they can also be harmful to a relationship causing two people to take each other for granted. I sometimes now wonder if I really ever want to hear those three little words again.............Just a thought!!

I mean this when I say that he was a total LOSER!! If he couldn't appreciate you, then he isn't worthy of you. There is someone better for you

As for being taken for granted...I have a permanent sign on my forehead that says...Please Use Me Then Forget Me. lol

It happens to all of us..I will never understand how people can do that.

Kisses,
Cassidy

When love happens, there are no words, yes?

I've alwys felt that actions speak louder than words.

"Those three little words" are very easy to say, but they are also seldom true -- never true without actions to back them up.

 

[Kasha]

We say I love you quite a bit... but the other day we were talking and my husband said that he wished he could think of something other than I love you to say to me. He said what he feels for me is so much more than that. He said that people use the word love way to much and it has become diluted. I totally agree with him..

I almost feel silly if I say I love you ....but it is the only word we have up til now that is supposed to describe these hard to describe feelings.

Even though been married almost 22 years, ive never heard those 3 little words from my husband.

My kids say it all the time, and I tell them all the time. Even my mother never said *I Love You*. Oh well, not a problem.

Yes, it is a problem.

We all need to hear that, especially from those we are closest to.

By telling your kids that, they will see that as the normal and acceptable thing to say and feel.

The words fall from my mouth easily.

I don't have to hear it, especially if actions are saying it.

But it is nice to hear from time to time. Especially if I am feeling low.

My parents told me they loved me almost every day.

 

[lovetoread]

I was raised without the words myself,but my children say to me,I say it to them and I hope that they will do that to their children.

As far as relationships go,my ex is a police officer. I made sure I always said I love you,just in case of anything that could happen on the job. We are no longer together,but I still worry and will tell him so.

My love now hears the words often. In fact I just said them to him on the phone. If something happens to the plane I am getting on,I want him to know how much I do love him. That matters so much to me.

Be well,

I am sure there is no need for me to tell you to have a fantastic weekend with T.

I just expect some "details" Monday morning

It's never assumed. It needs to be said every day.

 

[fallon2]

Needs and wants

Do I need to hear those word every day? No. Do I want to hear those words every day? Yes!

 

[april-wine]

I say it often, I feel it so I have to say it......

 

[lobito]

Saying it is always nice, hearing it is better. I don't just tell my SO, or my family, but my good friends also. They don't have to tell me that they love me, but they sure do know I love them.

Lo

 

[Fly_On_Wall]

I don't 'need' it said, but I like it said.

and I say it alote, to friends, and of course to my baby.
