After being together for so long me and my partner have been through so much and in everything we say or do i can feel the love between us.. however I can never atually get him to actually say the words "I love you". Are all guys like this and why is it so dificult to express the love you feel?

I think you are in a better place than a lot of women. A lot of guys will say I love you just to get into your pants, which is really messed up. Why don't you just ask him how he feels? He may not be ready to say it.

Yes it is. You can be an a "love relationship" and not be ready to say the words. People are in long term relationship all the time where it could be perceived as love, but neither is ready to actually say the words.

I have been in a relationship where the guy I was with never said "I love you" to me, but I also never said it to him, it was like I was waiting for something, I have no idea for what, but we were together for about 10 months. I guess we didn't want to be like many other relationships where they said "I love you" obsessively, because sometimes it could lose meaning when it is said too much. With the relationship I am in now we have no problem saying those three words. I guess it all just depends on the two in the relationship, and how you guys work with these things. He may come around some day, just don't force it on him.

I have no idea i was the one that told my husband that i loved him the first time.. I didn't really say it to him... I expressed it to him... I don't really remember how i told him.. all i remember is him saying that he loved me too.. my husband tells me that he loves me as much as he can a day.. .

I have been in a lot of relationships...most of the time i am always the first to say those three words,and in those cases...i don't expect those three words to be responded as long as my partner shows and as long as i feel the LOVE....it's ok.
Not all guys are the same...saying I LOVE YOU is not an enough measurement of partnership.You may hear those words everyday,but,they don't show or express it...so what's the sense?
In your case...you said that you have been through so much and in everything you say or do, you feel the love between the both of you...so, i think it's enough that you feel that LOVE...if you feel that certain "love", you don't have to wait for your partner to say those three words....as long as you FEEL LOVE...THERE IS LOVE... So don't worry...just go on with what you are both right now and be happy!
My tip???? IF HE DOESN'T SAY I LOVE YOU...THEN, BE THE FIRST TO SAY IT...SMILE...YOU'RE STILL LUCKY...THERE'S LOVE BETWEEN YOU...
