I
've been with my husband for 22 years, married for 20. Never--ever has he said "I love you" to me. It's just not natural. When I ask him if he loves me, he says you know I do. Well guess what? I don't. Just say the words, I plead. He shakes his head and walks away...........
My kids still tell me, thank god. My parents used to say it all the time. My father still does. I didn't realize when I was young and stupid how much those three little words meant to me.
Now, I do.
Update 7/3/08
Today the only thing I can say about all this nonsense is "oh well, his loss". It's a reasonable request, want, desire from your spouse.....it should have been easy...it wasn't........time to let it go and move forward..........

  | Posted Feb 16th, 2008 at 9:06PM That would be really hard to take. Although sometimes I hear the words from my husband and don't believe them. Only you know what your heart is telling you and you need to follow that. ((hugs)) +2 nods   |
| Posted Feb 16th, 2008 at 9:12PM Thank you both. You guys are always there with a kind word for this lonely old broad. LOL |
| Posted Feb 16th, 2008 at 9:14PM Peas in a pod....LOL +2 nods |
| Posted Feb 16th, 2008 at 9:18PM yes, here we are on another exciting saturday night pouring our hearts out. i don't know how i'll ever fall asleep..... +2 nods |
 | Posted Mar 27th, 2008 at 11:18PM my husband had a hard time saying those words too. I asked him why he never tells me and he said he thinks people tend to throw those words around too often...like everyday the 'love ya' becomes just a habitual reminder instead of 'I love you' when it's a heartfelt and emotional time. I know how you feel, and because I realized I wasn't going to hear it very often (and was used to hearing it in the past) I had to ask myself WHY I NEEDED TO HEAR IT? I didn't want him to start saying the words just because I wanted him to. I wanted to hear it when he felt like saying it. +2 nods |
| Posted Mar 27th, 2008 at 11:19PM he does love you you know! |
 | Posted Apr 29th, 2008 at 6:45AM Yet another thing in common....only mine wouldn't tell me even if I asked him.Mind you I'm struggling to love him now....and I guess he feels the same. Oh well.... +2 nods |
 | Posted May 3rd, 2008 at 8:37AM I wish I can flick my fingers to make you more happy without thinking of him and how is he treating you. Don't try hard let it go. Obviously it's time. But you know this. LOL Do you like scrabbles? |
| Posted May 3rd, 2008 at 7:53PM Do I like Scrabble? Yes, why? |
 | Posted Jul 3rd, 2008 at 7:50PM Are you kidding me? |
