how often does your partner say "I love you" to you?

[fluffernutter]

how often do you say it to your partner?

does it matter to you to hear it, or do you think that actions speak louder than words?

[Dookus]

1. we say it every day

usually a few times. We're sorta icky that way. And I call him Schnoogie and he calls me Snoodle.

[fluffernutter]

aw, i love your nicknames!

:loveya:

[Left Is Write]

2. Several times a day.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

4. Same here n/t

[Longgrain]

3. Never, cause

I don't have a partner...;(

[fluffernutter]

7. someday your princess will come.

when you were with your last sweetheart, did you tell her often?

[Longgrain]

20. Since you asked me a question, I'm compelled to answer.

She knew how I felt without me having to say those three simple words, so the token of vocal expression was next to pointlessness.

Furthermore, she never said it to me, so double pointlessness.

Besides, she was not the kind of woman to get hung up on such things.

I need a beer now.

[fluffernutter]

32. i didn't mean to bum you out

you know that. i was just curious. and trust me when i tell you that saying "those three simple words" is NEVER ever "pointless".

next time, step up and tell them how you feel, they deserve to know and you deserve to get it out and have it reciprocated.

[Longgrain]

36. Ah, don't worry about it,

Relationships suck anyway you approach them.

Is it too late for me to join a monastery?

[WI_DEM]

5. every morning and every night (on both sides)

I like to hear it, but obviously actions speak pretty loudly too. If my partner treated me like shit all day and at night finally said, "I love you"--BIG DEAL.

[Maddy McCall]

6. I don't have a partner. But I tell myself all the time.

:D

[patrice]

8. What's going on with your avatar?

The edges are doing something.

[fluffernutter]

11. blinking. cute, huh?

;)

[patrice]

21. Makes me look twice anyway.

BTW, the answer to your question is "never". Oh, I break down now and then and say "I love you" to him, but I'm on my second husband (the first one died of lung cancer), and neither one has been free with those words. Both great men, mind you, generous and responsible, but not very supportive. That's okay I guess; they have a right to expect that they married an adult.

[fluffernutter]

24. but supportive and loving are nice too

i'm confused at how being an adult means you don't need to hear "I love you" from your spouse. :shrug:

[GOPisEvil]

9. My who? Say what?

:-)

[fluffernutter]

13. you know you're just a big lug of love

:D

[GOPisEvil]

16. Well, sure, but I only have myself to lavish it upon.

Wait...that doesn't sound right. :D

[Bouncy Ball]

22. Well, I mean, that can be fun, too!

I'm gonna find you a good, smart, Democratic woman who looks like Valerie Bertinelli.

And maybe even has loads of money, too! That'd be a bonus, right?

[GOPisEvil]

28. Valerie Bertinelli looks optional.

But yeah, rich would be nice.

If she could just get me a new job, that would be helpful. :-)

[gollygee]

10. Not very often

he's pretty introverted and doesn't talk much at all. But he does say it sometimes.

I tell him much more often.

[fluffernutter]

38. does it bother you?

[gollygee]

41. It did early in our marriage

but we've talked about it and now I can see the things he does to show he loves me. I didn't recognize those before. And he now makes an effort to talk about it more.

We're both happy now :)

[Bouncy Ball]

12. Multiple times per day.

Extremely affectionate in this house, all three of us.

Around other people, we tone it down, but we're always lovin' on each other.

[fluffernutter]

18. that's my kinda family!

btw, i just finished the "Hunt Sisters" book last night. :cry: sob! good book, i loved it.

[Bouncy Ball]

19. Oh God, wasn't it just a tearjerker?

I cried my ass off reading that.

Now I'm reading "Prodigal Summer" by Barbara Kingsolver and it's good (much better, in fact), but not as much of a tearjerker.

[fluffernutter]

23. Kingslover is an excellent writer.

last one of hers i read was Animal Dreams i think :thumbsup:

[Bouncy Ball]

26. I'm going to read The Poisonwood Bible after this.

That was the one I meant to get, but all the library had was Prodigal Summer. Still it's good, and from what I understand, you pretty much can't go wrong with her.

Glad you liked the Hunt Sisters book.

[Nikia]

31. Us too

Except we don't have a child, only a dog.

[Ellen Forradalom]

nowhere near often enough

sadly.

[Lady Freedom]

14. Lots, YES, And YES!!!

:woohoo: :applause: :loveya: My man rock!!!!

[qnr]

15. Her, never - me, occasionally n/t

[BikeWriter]

17. My ex did many times each day before she left.

[fluffernutter]

25. so it was a total surprise?

i'm sorry

[BikeWriter]

30. Thank you. It's been five years. She'd been through chemo and...

several serious illnesses and operations. I took off from work each time to stay with her in the hospital and help nurse her through to recovery. As I became more and more despondent she decided she couldn't deal with my depression and left.

[fluffernutter]

33. crap

that just sucks :hug: i hope you both find happiness.

[BikeWriter]

42. I guess she has...

I haven't seen her since my Grand Daughter's funeral four years ago. I was near a freaking breakdown anyway, and she patted me on my chest, like I really needed HER commisserating with my depression.

[Technowitch]

27. Every day.

:D

[Bossy Monkey]

29. With her mouth or with her eyes?

We almost never say it out loud, but it gets said.

[fluffernutter]

40. mouth and eyes work ;)

[Beaverhausen]

34. Every day, every time we talk

Never did that with anyone else. He really, really loves me!!!

[mtnsnake]

35. We tell each other 2 or 3 times a day, but my wife tells the cat

around 30 times a day!

[fluffernutter]

37. lol!

:spray: that literally cracked me up!

[Pushed To The Left]

39. All the time! n/t
