LosMediasBlancas Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 This board is probably 98% male, so this is a good study group. How often do you tell your wife or GF that you love her? I don't mean, "yeah, me too" as a response to when she says it first, or on a cheesy card some stranger wrote. I mean how often do you say "I love you"?

I mean how often do you say "I love you"? Its something that I say to my wife all the time. Its hopefully something that married people, people who are engaged or people who are in love have no problem saying and expressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean how often do you say "I love you"? Oh, I have some thoughts on this matter. Back when I was teenager (no smartass comments!) I would read in Dear Abby or Ann Landers oodles and gobs of women writing in saying "He never says ILY first" or "He never does the little things" blah, blah, blah. Well, I made a mental note of this and as I went through my marriage I ALWAYS told my wife "I love you." when either one of left for work, or the grocery, or wherever. I usually got home from work before her, and I'd meet here at the door with a kiss and "I love you." Guess what that got me? All my efforts were taken for granted and didn't mean a damn thing to her. That said, I still believe that is the way to go. I believe it is important to know you are loved and I'm not shy about telling my current lady, and, I hope, future wife that I love her. I make a point of it and will continue to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Gleason Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 (edited) Wife, daughter, son, many times through the day. Plus lots of hugs and kisses. I won't part company with any of them without telling them, or without a hug and a kiss. The dog I call an "idiot" though. ...or on a cheesy card some stranger wrote. I also make my own cards. Have ever since I was a little kid. Edited February 14, 2006 by Kid Gleason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a Valentine's day one for the kid last night. Haven't spoken to the family yet today*, so I'm sure I'll get her opinion of it when I get home. * The wife and kid went to the movies after school today, seeing Curious George with my daughter's best friend and her mom.

CanOfCorn Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I tell each and every one of your wives/fiancees/girlfriends that I love them EVERY DAY!!! Seriously though, I do tell my fiancee that I love her every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DePloderer Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 My wife; all the time. My daughter; at least daily. My son; whenever no one else is listening, he'd die if anyone else heard. My mum; whenever we part. My dad; not often enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 You guys spend way too much time online to tell anyone that you love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxySoxGirl Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 This may ruin the point of the question, but I don't think it's so much the amount that matters, it's how much you mean it. To say it just to say it daily is one thing, but to tell someone you "love them to death" and then the next week say "well maybe not" kind of takes away the impact. Just an example of course, and kind of extreme..but you get the point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been telling my wife it everyday for 12 years now, and I bet she would say that it hasn't worn off. It means something everytime, but certains it means a little more.

I see a lot of people go through the quick peck and "love ya" routine as they're parting company with their spouses. It never looks very sincere, it looks routine.
