Saying I love you

I say I love you to my mom after phone calls and after visits with my family. I should be saying it more to my family and friends. Life is short and it is good for us to let the ones around us that we love them and appreciate them very much. That is great that you tell your family and friends that you love them as I am sure they love hearing that and knowing you love them. I think many people would be so happy to hear someone say that to them.

My family has never been one to say the words 'I love you'. This has made it really hard for me to say these words to anyone. I wonder, honestly, if i have ever told my mother or father that I love them. I do love them - I love them very much. But they don't say it, so I don't know how to say it. It would and will take me a long time to be able to say it to someone whom I am in a relationship with, as well. it's really scary and hard to say those words for the first time, especially when you're not even used to saying those words to people like your family. To me, the words I love you are precious and priceless and should never be thrown around carelessly. I do wish that i were able to say them to my family, though. I hope that I will be able to say I love you to my mother and father while they are still here to hear me.

I say it to my mom all the time, I say it to my step kids every time they leave the door, I also say it to my girlfriend when I leave every room. I have been doing this for so many years because you don't know when you or the person that walks out the door may never come home. I always make it known to those around me that I love them in case something sudden was to happen to me.

I think that it's really important to tell the people that we love that we do love them every chance we have, because we never know when our last time to tell them that we love them will be. I tell my husband, parents, sister, in-laws and a few close friends that I love them every time I say goodbye to them, either in person or on the phone. One day when it seemed as though there were a lot of phone calls and I was hanging up saying I love you to everyone ... I made a mistake and told a lady from our church (who I barely knew at the time) that I loved her when I was hanging up with her. I'm not sure if she caught it, but I didn't know what to do! Like was I supposed to say, "Oh, I don't really love you it's just a habit..." because that might have been more rude. So I just let it go and she's never said anything to me about it!

I am the type of person that says I love you to my parents, children & husband. I just want to let them know how I feel. My husband, on the other hand, dosen't say it all the time, but when he does say it, it means the world to me. There are a million ways of saying I love you, without ever opening your mouth.

I say I love you to my kids and my husband about 1000 times a day. My parents and sisters, we don't say I love you. It's really sad that we don't...it's just wierd to say it, I guess. Not sure why that is since we did say it growing up and all. I just feel really self concious and strange to say it to them. I know that's silly.

I always say "I love you" when I am leaving the presense of a family member or a friend. I also say it before I hang up from a phone conversation as well. Today, I almost said it to my hair stylist. When I told her she got a good laugh out of it.

I say I love you to my partner as often as I could. I grew up in a family where saying I love is not a practice and i made a promise to myself that if ever ill get the chance to say I love you to people who are important to me then i'll tell it to them as often as i could

i always say i love you to my girlfriend, especially when we meet or before we sleep. no matter where, phone or through txt or personally. i just love saying i love you with those people i really care and i really love so much.

I tell my daughter everyday that I love her. I tell my parents (whom I do not live close to) I love them at the end of each phone call. My sister and brothers I do not tell them I love them. I don't know why, we just never say it to each other. We never have. My closest friends I tell them I love them when I email them.

I tell my husband repeatedly. At the end of every phone call. Before he leaves to go anywhere or I leave. Sometimes we call each other just to say it. I tell just about all of my friends I love them when I'm saying good bye on the phone but I don't say it much when I instant message. Of course I tell my puppies even if they don't understand.

With my family where I came from, we do not say it often or rather not at all becuase it seems difficult but with my own family, we say it often, before going to sleep, after a phone conversation, in the morning, every moment. it's nice to make it a habbit.

Me i always say i love you to my baby.Its different to my husband,i will say i love you after our phone conversation but not mostly before going to bed coz my husband work sometimes at night so i can only say i love you if he had a day off and he will sleep with me but i say i love you most of the time before he leave to work.

I love you is a powerful phrase. My wife and I say it often to each other. In our house, affirmation is important. We raised our two daughters this same way. Our family rarely ends a phone call or visit to each other without saying it. My philosophy when raising our girls was that if they absolutely knew they had unconditional love at home, it would help them to make better choices when choosing friends and a husband. With both of them happily married with many friends, I think it worked.

i usually say it every time i talk to them which isnt very often now because i live abroad. i guess its something that comes out naturally at the end of a conversation to the ones i love.

i think it depends if its your husband, or children, or parents. the longer you are married-i think it goes down to maybe once or twice a week! your children as they grow older, its usually only when you say it to them....and your parents say it to you all the time the older they get. funny isn't it?

I don't say it as often as I should. I usually only tell people I love them when I know i'm not going to see them for a long time or when I have a SO I say it to them every night. But maybe I should start telling people I love them at alot more often caue I never know what tomorrow may bring.

I have a really, really hard time saying the words. I have always thought that love was more of how someone treated you than someone just saying the words. I have had people say the words to me, but it was done to manipulate me(at least I think so) or their actions was not backing up what they were saying. But I think the words are important, it troubles me that I can't say them. However, it has to be word+action. In the end words are just words.

I will say i love you when i send short messages to my boyfriend..Or maybe i will send a birthday card to my friends and i will write i love you at the bottom..I do say i love you when i kiss my boyfriend and never say any to my parents as they too never tell me i love you before.

I agree with ur view that we should never stop saying this to our loved ones. todays people have become very busy. they dont have the time to spend for their loved ones.these is the reality like situation the we are so much involved in our work that we forgot their essentiality. but we cant ignore time! so i think this three words make magic to them whom we should at least 3-4times daily. this is to be known to us that watever we do is only because of our loved ones!
