    Love is a four letter word. He either doesn't love you or has major issues admitting it. Lose him and buy a puppy and a 'rabbit'

    Hi,

    I'm almost in same situation! I think he doesn't care to me!

    I always should plan to have fun or change, he doesn't do anything!

    I always should do everything that you can imagine!

    I'm done! I'm frustrated more than you can imagine!

    I am thinking about divorce but I afraid of!

    Do you think I'm stupid!

    I'm not. because I'm living in a country that it is difficult to do that!

    I need your advice. I need some help. I need to know what I should do to bear this life.

    Maybe KIK meant scrapple, which is a regional dish in rural Pennsylvannia and elsewhere.

    Well now I know how the story ends. I am interested because I feel I am in a bad marriage and I read articles about marriage that say we just need to try harder to make it work. Well I have tried for 18 years and he has cheated on me twice. I had an emotional affair and he will never let it be forgotten. He says I love you and forces me to say it back. I don't love him and don't think I can get it back, he is mean and selfish. I am happy for goddessone that she found someone who really loves her and she loves too. Maybe my story can end that way too.

    I wish I would have read that 12 years ago :/ Thank you for posting. I think, though, that other ppl need to learn what you've learned. That's not an easy thing to learn unless you go through a similar experience...unfortunately.

    But good for you and keep being happy :) That's what matters.

    Fear stops people from doing a lot of things - even things which we might deem as "Easy" or "everyday" things. My dad had a tough time saying those three words - he never did for 25 years to me - but I now know that it was his up-bringing which hindered his ability to do this. Be strong x

    When I married recently, I had this to tell my beautiful bride :



    " Today we became one. I have only this to add ... I LOVE YOU ! It is only 3 words, but they contain my entire life in them."



    We remind each other these 3 words every day, sometimes several times. Living 2000 kms apart, we are unable to tell it to each other face to face, in each others arms, we have to wait another 8 months still for that. But a 3 word sms, an e-mail or a phone call is all we need .....

    My dad never tells me he loves unless he is that drunk and doesn't remember it, and I have never heard him tell my mum that he loves her, and never see them kiss! But altho thoses words never leave his mouth his actions speaker louder and my n all my sisters no that my dad my mums husband loves us all to bits he is there and will do anything for any of us! Yh his hug wud be nicer then his version of a pat on the back literally! But to me its better him showing he loves us then telling me ! Words can be fake an over used ! At least this way I no he is sincere xx

    I had been in a relationship for two years +, my ex never said those 3 little words to me either. Men just don't get how important sometimes those words mean for our women. :-(

    I know some guys who even hesitate to say I LOVE u to their girlfriends....when i asked why...they reply...Its not a man's thing!!....Girls r supposed to say that not guys ...guys are supposed to be manly!!

    But my personal experience says it doesnt really matter if its your wife or gf u have plannes to live together then what's the shame in saying I love u...it may be sort of ego thing for some people..!!...but my gf really likes it when i say that and vice versa...bcoz it gives u feeling yaah atleast someone is there for u!!

    one quesotin, what on earth would posess you to marry and have children with a man who never even told you he loved you? You gotta get those standards up a bit higher :) You also can't expect a man to give you confidence that you should have on your own, although sometimes that's why people get married.. heaven knows it's why I've been engaged so many times.. I hope things look up for you soon..

    I find that odd. I said it to my wife without hesitation, and say it now often to my girlfriend. My parents never said "I love you" to me or each other but that has never had an effect on my ability to express my feelings verbally.



    Frankly, i was astounded and surprised someone could be married that long and never said "I love you." Truly amazed...

    My husband (now my ex) would say it to me but I didn't really feel he meant it because he would never show me he loved me. He talked the talk but he certainly didn't walk the walk. In my opinion, if he shows you he loves you (just little ways) that is worth it's weight in gold :-)

    My never told me he loved me until i was in the hospital an they though i was near death. And i didn't tell my kids that for some time and the wife ask why i didn't tell them that and i didn't have a reason for not telling them but i started and made a world of differents with our relationship with them. well what i'm tring to say is did his family ever tell him.That mite be why he doesn't say it.

    Wow, this is sad.



    I kind of understand you, because my boyfriend hasn't ever said he loves me for the sake of it... but he's just my bf and he did say it a couple times, if only as a thank-you and such. Plus I never *asked* him to tell me. It seems weird. I would definitely ask if anything's wrong etc etc if I were in your position :o Anyway, hope you're good and such :)

    Sandra, that really does sound very much like my story with the exception of the physical. My husband stopped put that away a long time ago. Congratulations on taking the steps the you did in order to move on. I'm in the process, but no where close enough.

    Wow this story sounds like mine. Actually I felt unloved ,unappreciated,and a the bottom of his list I gave up trying.We have been split since feb. of 08 but actually it was over long before that.Its an odd thing now everyday he tells me he loves me and this and that and he even fixed things in the house that were long overdue to be fixed major things but if he thinks this impresses me now think again buddy it dosnt.He says I lost my best friend the only woman i ever loved and I think to myself yea you did.Hmmmm a little to late to hear all this You dont stop loving someone over night it happens little by little.One thing I know is I was a good mother and a good wife not perfect mind you but was loyal and committed.He was a good provider in physical needs so I cant say he was all bad and maybe thats enough for some women.I would have never made him leave except he cheated and lied to me and this gave me a reason to end it all together.Why the heck should I live a miserable life with someone who didnt appreciate me.

    Some guys are born to be jerks. Hopefully, though, he's otherwise a good husband. I can imagine how difficult that must be.
