Well last night my boyfriend and I were laying in bed in the silence with both kids asleep and we started this weird discussion about feelings and where things are going and he admits to me that he has deep feelings for me but won't actually say he loves me. Well this morning I get a text message from him after he leaves for work that says "BTW I just wanted to say I LOVE YOU!" I responded to him just asking he why he said it via text and still haven't gotten any type of response yet. Does anyone know how to handle this situation? I do love him and have told him that I love him but it seems like those three little words are holding him back. Any ideas?

It can be very difficult for a man to say those three words. It doesn't mean that he doesn't feel the same, he just isn't comfortable saying it yet. Give him time, I am sure that this is something that is taking a lot for him to adjust to, for all we know he might not have come to terms with the way he felt yet. Just let him know that you love him too, saying it over text doesn't make it mean less, it just means that he needs a little time before he says it out loud. Don't read to much into it, just take your time, no need to rush. Once he feels comfortable I am sure that he will say it out loud. Just try not to give him to hard a time. I know that my husband didn't say it to me until out 6 month aniversary. We have now been together for 14 years and married for 7 of them. It was worth waitting to hear him say it, I am sure it would be worth the wait for you too.

I can see that it definitely was worth the wait for you. After having been in a previous bad relationship I guess I just need to hear it from him to know he really wants to be with me. I know that sounds silly but I guess it would be more or less a reassurance to me that he actually wants me.

My dad was that way with my mother, he could never tell her he loved her. But he has stayed with her through thick and thin and vice versa and they both have been married to each other for almost 50 years now. I don't ever see them breaking up. They have been through too much and not once have I ever heard them say to each other "I Love You." My mom really had issues with it when she was younger but now doesn't even think of it i'm sure.
