Have you ever said "I love you" and not meant it?

I was just wondering, as I have become sick and tired of all of the divorce stories, and was thinking they may have just been lying and they really didn't love each other.
Have you every not meant it when you said, "I love you"?
How did that relationship end up?
What brings people to lie like this?

If I tell a person that I love them then I do love them. It's not that hard to love and I don't find that its something that is reserved for your mate.
Neither do I feel like because you end a relationship or marriage that it means that you don't love a person. You can still love a person but the relationship not work for any number of reasons.
It seems that you are saying that if you love a person that it guarantees a life long relationship. Which in my opinion is so far from the truth. Things change,people change and relatioships change. It has nothing to do with the fact of whether or not you loved them at the time that you said it.

I have never once said "I love you" and never meant it. I really don't think I could. Those are three VERY powerful words and should never be taken lightly. When you talk about the stories of the hundreds of couples getting divorced these days and saying they lied when they exchanged "I love yous," I don't agree with that. I think it is very possible to fall OUT of love with someone just as easy as it is to fall IN love. Sometimes you may love someone very very much but you realize with time that they truely around the one that you are meant to be with. Unfortunately for a lot of people they realized that after the wedding vows were said and there wasn't much they could do about it except agree on a divorce.
I think it's very sad and unfortunate when people get divorced and I hope never to be one of those statistics but you honestly never know. Some things are meant to be maybe only for a short time period instead of for your whole life. And I think one of those things can be loving someone.
