From email.
A group of women were at a seminar on "How to Live in a Loving
Relationship with Your Husband.
The women were asked, "How many of you love your husband?"
All the women raised their hands.
Then they were asked, "When was the last time you told your
husband you loved him?"
Some women answered today, a few yesterday, and some couldn't
remember.
The women were then told to take out their cell phones and text their
husband: "I love you, sweetheart."
The women were then told to exchange phones with another person,
and to read aloud the text message that was received in response to the
"I love you, sweetheart" text message.
Here are some of the replies:
1. Who the hell is this?
2. Hey, mother of my children, are you sick or what?
3. Yeh, and I love you too. What's up??
4. What now? Did you wreck the car again?
5. I don't understand what you mean?
6. What the fu_ _ did you do now?
7. ?!?!?!?
8. Don't beat around the bush, just tell me how much you need?
9. Am I dreaming?
10. If you don't tell me who this message is actually for, someone will die.
11. I thought we agreed you wouldn't drink during the day.
12. Your mother is coming to stay with us, isn't she??

(12,665 posts)I'd say it depends on what mood my husband was in that day. hehe.
No, seriously! We should tell those we love that we love them every single day, if possible.

(149,580 posts)I tell him over the phone or in person; my cell phone doesn't have the text function.
He would respond "I love you too."

(57,936 posts)I really do love him. He's the greatest, bar none.
I should add: 51 years married to him. Gets better and better although there are moments . . . . But we don't count those in the sum total.
51 years and we still stay up and talk for hours.

(3,469 posts)If I texted that to my husband, he would text back "I love you more." We say "I love you" at least once a day.

I date my ex-wife and we are much better now. I used to tell her I loved her several times a day, but if I happened to hang up a call with her without saying it she would get pissed. I stopped saying it altogether for awhile, and now I say it only when I am really feeling it. It is worse if you have to say it, or say it too much. It should be a little special, then it means something!

(25,456 posts)annoying, also hugging. Last night the ball-and-chain and I remembered that our first real date was on July 16, 25 years ago (although sometimes it seems as long ago as 1625). He had coupons for a two-for-crab dinner, an offer I couldn't refuse.
After we'd been married a few years, we were at a barbecue party made up of couples and their children (I don't have any kids (that I know of)). All the couples seemed to be about to start an argument, in the middle of one, or just getting over one. One couple refused to speak to each other and sat on opposite sides of the backyard all evening. We were sitting near the host's teenaged daughters and suddenly one of them exclaimed, "I know what's different about you two! You actually LIKE each other!" An important point. We still like each other and we are still married.

(25,456 posts)I tell the husband that I hate him more often than I tell him I love him; a luxury that one usually only enjoys as a child, telling mama and papa you hate them. Recreational bickering is also extremely fun.

(12,017 posts)my wife would laugh her ass off at a good number of those because she would know i was kidding around with the response... unless there is trouble in the marriage already i can see a lot of people responding that way as an attempt to be funny.

(36,926 posts)My husband would probably be surprised but would take things at face value, and text back "love you too." Short and sweet and won't get you in trouble!
