Do you really have to say thank you??

I certainly do not think I should be thanked and or I thank my boyfriend for the love comments. I feel they are earned and well something earned should be appreciated with reciprocal actions that is. I think I would feel silly to say thank you especially 100 times a day that I am told that I am loved.

When my boyfriend says I love you I don't reply with thank you. :p I say I love you too, which kind of includes the gratitude, I guess. "Thank you for loving me" is kind of a weird thing to say, you can just reciprocate by saying I love you.

First, I don't think that's a stupid question. In fact, although most of the Chinese people are in a relationship(a big family), we don't say "thank you for loving me" because we are afraid to feel embarrased. We usually do something to let the others feel that we appreciate their love. But I think that's a roundabout way and a wast of time. We should try to say thank you as often as possible.

Ok blondie, I know you love me, and since you are so averse to the words, I will not use them even though we are not married, and even if you choose to give me Robert Mugabe's palace.

hmmm...when he say 'i love you' and then i said to him back 'thank you'. hahaha... that is so funny!!!i don't know how to say saph...i just find this weird and strange....

I am married and I have never said thank you to my husband for loving me. I have said thank you for lots of things but have never thought about saying it for that. It really is not a stupid question, kind of interesting to think about it.

No sweetie, we don't thank each other though we know very well that we love each other. May be we think it's too formal to thank, We usually don't thank family members. we rarely say thanks to them. But we do say thanks to others, BTB I can't thank you for this discussion sweetie,

For me 'Thank you' are not for two strangers, let say 'thank you for the ride' or whatever. I mean this phrase could still excess between two heart so close together---for couple, for lovers... I love saying thank you, I should share the story about one of these days, I had even written and posted it before here, unfortunately no readers... and even me, I can write a book of my own thank you's... hello my B...

I think this is a pretty confusing question in my category.. I am not married, but i don't feel thank you is necessary for saying in return for Love u.. If ur partner is saying Love u , u should say the same or tell Love u too..But thank u is some kind of improper relationship i guess, but i'm not sure of it.. I have seen this in "Big Bang Theory" a TV show, where Leonard and Penny were Lovers once and Leonard will say I love u in the night to Penny and Penny would say thank you, Leonard in Return would say u are Welcome...The next day they broke up !!! Leonard was expecting the Love word from Penny, but she wasn't interested in saying due to some odd reasons !!

wow you have so many friends who commented ,on your discussion, great job...

Thank you saphie. Hahaha...

Of course you "need" to say thank you for loving me or someone saying it back to you!! Just cuz you are married doesn't take the courtesy out of marriage.

Saying thank you is just common courtesy. it shows that we do have some manners. it is just polite to say thank you when someone has done you a kindness.

Hi saphrina! Yes I do! It's not only graciousness, it's also a way to express my appreciation and gratitude. And when I hear the same I feel appreciated, loved and needed. All these feelings are good.

You should never take their love for granted, so yes you should say "Thank you". And you should say it often. Love is a two way street and it's one that couples tend to give up on very easily. Your question is not a stupid one. In fact it may open the eyes of couples when they read the responses. We should find something every day to thank our significant other for, whether it just simply be for being there or if it is for the major sacrifices they make each day for the family.

yes,i agree with you!but,,haha !i have my own idea!

Just show her with emotions like hugging. If you say thanks for loving then they might not believe you

Heck no I don't say thank you, I would respond "I love you" back or "love you too".

Probably I'll say thank you to the person who loves me whom I can only love back only as a friend.

In my heart I always pray to God to bring my girlfriend to be my wife. But I am always speechless to said to my wife
