when was the last time you said i love you?

I have a family - with a husband and 2 kids. Exchanging 'i love you's' is like second nature to us. We say it in words and we express it in our actions. I'm constantly showering my kids with words of love and lotsa hugs and kisses. My husband and I say it out loud to each other or if not, we may just squeeze each others' hands or pat in the back, a comforting massage, stroking ones hair...all these little but meaningful gestures. You're right, we need to express love as much as we can because life is a fleeting moment. Missing it out would mean a lifetime of regret.

I always say I LOVE YOU. But my partner seem to not believe the words I tell her. So for me, it's best to show her or him the words I love you through actions. Because as the saying goes, "Action speak louder than Words". So I believe we must not only say the Words I love you but also show it to your partner or to anyone special to your heart.

When I say the words to my siblings and father, it's as if they are unable to say the words back to me. When I say it to my sister, she mumbles it back in response, my father and brother just ignore me. Is it a guy thing? Or do they not love me and don't want to hurt my feelings? It's got me beat. My daughter and granddaughters all say it often - before I even have a chance to sometimes.

Well, it only makes sense. Even if you are in a fight you still love the other person. It is three words that are always nice to hear and never get old. They express something very positive. And, if something was to happen(God forbid) then you have told those you love how you feel.

Too much of saying that words i think will be less of meaning, because if it says to often, then it will be ordinary word, but if you tell it seldom i think it will be better, and think that you are said the word is really meaningfully to them so it's not necessary to say it too often

Hi dear, May be unfortunate or unluck, I didn't get a chance to tell it to anybody. Regards, Thank-s

Just last night before we went to sleep, my husband and i always say i love you before going to sleep. This morning i said i love you to my baby when i woke up.

I just said it to my guy! I finally understand how saying and Hearing I love you can make you feel! When I was younger I rarely said it . I would show it but not say it. But now I enjoy doing both!

It was last night actually that I told my wife that I loved her and I think I must say it every day. More at weekends obvsiously because we are both at home together. I think it is important as it builds confidence in the relationship and we have been together now for 25 years, so it must make a difference. _Derek

That's nice to hear. I sometimes forget because other things can get in the way but you have inspired me to tell my kids and my wife that I love them. I will start to make a conscious effort every day to let them know because like you said, its important to let them know in case something happens they will know without a doubt.

I swear i would never say that word every again . "I love you" has no feelings and no meaning these days . People say it casually same as we say " hey dude","freaking","fu**ing" ,etc. And after heartbreak twice in my life ...i do not expect to fall in love again.

i said i love you to my husband just a while ago through a text message,because he is in abroad for work..I never miss saying that 3 words because it is important for me...

that is so true! I always tell to my daughter I LOVE HER SO MUCH and I tell it to my fiancée. I LOVE telling to my love ones that I love them so much that it will always remind them that.... :)

The last time? A minute ago when my boyfriend called me. We are in a long distance relationship but it always seems that we are together. We keep on communicating and it's countless how many times in a day we tell "I LOVE YOU" to each other. No matter how far he is, wherever he is, whoever he's with, whatever he's doing. I always make sure he feels that i love him so much and never will I do anything to upset him. ^.^

yup understanding is one of the main thing that should be in a relationship, if a person truly love someone he is bound to feel the heart beat of the other person whom he loves, and if there is a tiny fragment of misunderstanding there can be a fight thats common to say, and the fighting would last a few and ends with more and more love of understanding. at least tats what i heard.

well , i've said it a while ago when he is about to sleep, i do tell the word i love you when i feel like doing so...and as i have experienced i say it a lot of times in a day.....:-)

a second ago? haha. nah...a minute ago when i posted ich liebe dich to the facebook wall of my bf. =)

i agree with the book. i think it is very important to "praise" your loved ones by saying i love you. its a way of manifesting your feelings towards them. i tell my kids i love them everyday and there isnt a day i dont tell my husband that i love him.

Words began to lose their means to meaning. I prefer the actions to talk instead saying this every step by step along the day. Saying I love you after a harsh conversation is a bit disengenious I think. The last time I said was more than four years ago, when I escorted my ex-fiancé to the bus in England, as a last farewell to her. As for my family, we have lost that kind of bond a long time ago.

Hey dont read books to study the meaning of ilove you. love is as if "you make me feel like,like something i never felt before". so we will feel the same if we are in true love,if there is some thing missing then we have to say "i love you". i think if you do so i think you are saying it to your self.because you want to remember about the love .i don't know its good or bad.
