How often do you say I LOVE YOU

[WebLady]

My sister says I am spoiled because DH and I say I Love You to each other alot. I say she is just jealous that she and her FH do not ;)

DH and I say it when we get up, when we go to bed and whenever we leave each other, oh and on the phone too. I like it because I know it means something and I love to hear DH say it, I don't think I will ever tire of it ... especially when he says it first :wub:

We also kiss alot too, (you know like pecks on the cheek or lips when we leave each other and such) I don't think I've ever seen my sister and her FH kiss ... well I did when they had my niece.

[AngelinLove]

Joel and I are the same way with saying I love you and teh kissing Brandi!!! We also say I love you alot at random times during teh day. I don't consider it being spoiled...just being in love!!!

[Kacie_bride]

Justin and I say I love you all the time, probably a thousand times a day!

[LizabethDavis]

We say I love you quite a bit. We don't say it first thing in the morning, but we will say it before we leave each other and we try to remember to say it before we go to sleep and on the phone. I like to kiss him a lot too!

[WhiskeyGirl]

We're also the same. Even if we see each other and he leaves, then he calls me like 5 seconds later we still say it. We are very affectionate as well. We say I love you a lot, and I wouldn't want it anyother way!! :)

[usahgrad]

We say I love you a bazillion times a day! When I get up for work in the morning, or if Jason is taking me to work, we'll say "I love you" "Have a good day" and "Be safe", when we part. We always say "Lots of Kisses" and "I love you" to end our phone conversations. We say "I love you" and "Sweet dreams" just before we go to sleep. Then we probably say it a billion more times throughout the day. Sometimes, I'll say "Guess what!" and Jason will say "I love you too." The other thing I do is I call Jason my favorite all the time. It makes him laugh. We are very endearing to each other. We're also HUGE PDA-ers! :)

[MOB Karen]

Amber & I were talking about this very subject when she was taking me home last night from my Mother's house. Jason says I love you to Amber when he gets through with every single phone call. She said that was the way his Mother was, and then she ended up dying so it means a lot to him to say it now. Well, I never did that with Amber when she was growing up. I said I love you when they left the house or when they weren't feeling well or things like that. In other words, those words were sacred to me, and I didn't use them 100 times a day. It kind of loses its impact for me when it is said all the time. That's just me. Anyway, Amber was never used to saying it like Jason, but since she has been with him a long time, it has sort of filtered into our phone calls now too. I will be like, "Bye." And she will say, Bye, Mom, love you." And I will be like, "oh yeah, love you too." Now, it makes me feel bad that I didn't say it first. :bbcry: Well, it just doesn't come naturally to me to say it every single time I get through with a phone conversation. I like saying it, don't get me wrong, but not every single phone call. Oh well, that's my .02 cents on that subject. LOL!

Karen, I kinda know what you mean. I grew up in a house where we didn't say I love you much. We all loved eachother, but it was just something you knew. My family wasn't big on hugs and that either. So it took a while for me to get adjusted. FH family is the opposite. They always say I love you and are big huggers. I'm becoming that too. I find myself saying I love you more often and I'm a huge hugger now!

[rainbowtreat]

Nicholas and I say I Love You ALOT. For no reason at all, when we leave each other, before we hang up the phone, when we wake up and snuggle each other and then one of us has to get up we are usualy like, oh I dont wnat you to go. We kiss and say I love you. Some times during the day as we are joking around we will say I hate you meaning I love you. Sounds foolish I know but it is kinda funny to us.

I say I Love You to my mom and my sister ( or any family memeber liek my gram or some , dont usualy talk to others tha toften ) eveyr time we leave each other or talk on the phone before we hang up. We live 7 hours apart so we have gotten closer since I have been living away for about 12 years. We hung all the time, I hung my closets friends and even tell them I love them most of the time. Mainly the ones I dont see all that often like the girls that were in my wedding. My BIL will even tell me he loves me and I to him if we talk on the phome or when we leave there after a visit.

My kids say it all the time ( well my son will say ditto lol ) and they hung and kiss us all the time. This has been my doing. Since they were born before any one left or we left we always give them a hung and kiss and say I love you. This is big with them now. I love it when out of the blue they come to me for a hug for no reason or a kiss or an I love you for no reason. I know they mean it.

[WhiskeyGirl]

Karen,

Matt's family is the same. They NEVER say I love you. My family always says it and my dad even says it to Matthew!! :wub: (I think it's nice that my dad says that to him!!) But it's because we've lost a lot of family members and never told them how we felt. Matt said I love you to his mom one time (well Ich Liebe Dich! German for I love you) and his mom laughed. She didn't say Ich Liece Dich back or anything. I always ask him if it bugs him but he says he knows his parents love him and since I came into the family, they hug now! I've always been a hugger. Sometimes we tell the people we love we do and sometimes actions speak louder than words. I'm sure you'll be saying I love you in no time!! :wink: And if not, I can tell by all the wonderful things you do for Amber, that your actions are hollering it everyday!! :)

We are the exact opposite! Our family ALWAYS says bye love you after every single call and we all are big huggers! We hug eachother when we see eachother and when we are leaving eachother. Michael's family had to get used to that! Michael & I have always been that way w/ eachother since the 1st I love you! His Mom is just like my family now, his dad is another story LOL! Michael and I have to say it before we go to bed every night and after every single phone call or it just doesn't feel right!

Sean and I very rarely say it. I know he loves me, He knows that I love him. We just don't say it. And kissing and hugging is very rare too. I wasn't raised to say I love you. I don't remember my parents ever saying it to me. I know that they love me and I love them. I also wasn't raised with any physical affection either.

My mom hugged me on my wedding day and it kind of freaked me out. I remember my dad coming into my room really late one night and giving me a kiss on the forehead. I remember it woke me up. I think I might have been 6 or 7. I found out years later when I said something to my mom about it that dad had gotten immediate orders to go to Hondorus for the military and it was the only time he ever left that he was worried about coming back. Even when he went to Afghanistan a few years ago we didn't hug or say I love you. My dad and I have an unspoken rule that if you say "see you later" it will happen. So when he is shipping off for one of his military deals we just say "see you later"

Sean's family are all huggers and to be honest going there totally grosses me out because I know when you leave they are going to hug you. I don't like having anyone in my personal space.

[katieandalex]

It depends on the day. Sometimes if we only see each other for a few hours we say it once in the morning before we leave for work and once at night when we are going to bed. But if we see each other more during the day, we say it a lot more too. But we do kiss a lot! :)

This is exactly how I feel. I love my family, but I just don't say those words over and over again. No one in my nuclear family ever said those words over and over again. But when we did say them, they were genuine. I'm not a hugger because my Mother was not a hugger. She is a very cold person if you ask me. Amber doesn't think so, but Amber doesn't have history with her like I do. She is the one that doesn't cry when Ole Yeller dies. Your heart must be an ice pop not to cry then. And I absolutely hate to hug her relatives! I would rather have a hot poker in the eye than to have to hug my mother's relatives. I just think it's so fake.

You are too funny! We grew up being huggy and lovey so it's just nature to me. We try not to overbare others w/ it though.:) I used to think it was so weird when my friends would hang up w/ their spouse or family members and not say love you, but now I see why. If you did not grow up this way, you can't just turn it on.
(So, in other words: I feel what you are saying Karen. LOL!)

I can't be fake no matter how hard I try to. I just can't do it. And I hate phoniness in people. I hate it when people tell me at work over and over good morning. I'm like, "I already saw you this morning and we said good morning, there is no reason to say it again." The reason they say it again is because they don't remember saying it the first time, thus it was phony to start with. That's how I feel anyway. I know, I know, like Amber always tells me, "cancel my subscription, you have issues!" LOL!

[rainbowtreat]

This has been a very interesting post. It is amazing how differnt every one is. I agian am a very hugging loving person. I am not sure if Nicholas family is as bad at it as mine is but when I first met his mom I got a hug. He does tell her he loves her when they hang up the phone but they are now 13 hours apart and only see each other about once a year. Not sure if this is part of it or not. They dont seem spposed to it. I got hugs when they got here before the wedding and on the wedding day and his grandmother danced with me during the dollar dance. My kids are very loving kids and I hope this carries on with them through the years. But this psot got me thinking about what if they meet some one who is not that way.

I guess it is kina like when I was in high school and took the late bus home one day. A group of my friends and I stopped at each others house on the way to one of the other girls house for a while. When we got to mine ( the last before the place we were going ) I went in said "Sorry I'm late had to catch the late bus going to Jaimes". She followed me out said get back here your gorunded, Iwas like yea ok shut up be home later. All my freinds staredat me in shock. They asked if I was realy grounded and could not beleive I told my mom to shut up. Well for one the shutup was in playfullness, I would never tell my mother to shut up for real. And my mom was always joking, we still do. When she said I was grounded she was playing. What I couldnt understand was why all my freinds were so shocked. I was like what , she was kidding.

It now makes sense to me now that I am grown. Not every one is as playful and joking and loving as my mom is.

[Jenn060306]

Mar and i say it as much as we can. When he leaves for work in the morning. When he gets home, when we're on the phone. At the end of every e-mail. Sometimes a random text message. We'll say it when we're both completely silent in the car or watching television.

I know he know's i love him but i just really like saying those 3 little words. They make me feel good.

[brewsells]

Adam and I also say I love you alot. There is a "Love, Bye" at the end of every phone conversation. Lots of kisses too... We are not big on PDA though. We don't ignore each other but don't trip over each other either.

[countrygirl]

My family says it usually everytime we get off the phone. Josh and I say it so often, it prob makes others sick. The kids (and us) say it quite a bit too.

[CindySue]

My parents divorced when i was 10. My mom wasnt big on the ILYs or the hugs, but my dad was. I do not talk to my dad with out an ILY at the end.
Brian and I are very affectionate with words and actions. He will walk up behind me and kiss me on the neck and tell me he loves me just because. I do the same. At night its funny because we HAVE to be touching while we are sleeping. We also have our "just can not get close enough" moments.

Ok, like Cindy, my Dad was also very huggy and lovey too! :D Thank God, because without my Dad, I would be exactly like my Mother. *shiver* Anyway, I have issues with "touching at night" as well. Surprise! LOL! Maybe it was because I never really "deep down" loved my husband. And because I do have issues, like Amber always tells me. But I hated when he touched me at night. (Of course, I didn't like it much any other time either.) Some of the reasons are because I hate being hot, I hate being uncomfortable by having to hold the same position, and the primary reason was because I didn't want to be bothered by "that" especially when I had to get up and go to work the next morning. Helloooooo!!!!!! I think it might have been different if I had been crazy about him like some of you ladies are with your men, but I wasn't. Sad, huh? :bbconfused:

We made a rule at the start of the summer. We were trying to figure out when to start using the AC. We decided if it was too hot to cuddle then it was time for the AC. We change postions during the night, but somehow stay wrapped up the entire time!
But Karen I understand were your coming from. I DID NOT like cuddling with my ex. I chalked it up to I just didnt like him!

That's sweet, Cindy. Controlling the AC so you can cuddle more. LOL! I think if I really loved him, I would have welcomed his touch! I talked to Amber about this, and she says that she has never felt that way about Jason. Not once. She loves when he touches her no matter what time it is, or what she has to do the next day. LOL! Some of us are just more lucky in the love department than others. It just never happened for me. Oh well..........

[WhiskeyGirl]

I have to be honest and say that I don't like touching while I am asleep, though some nights we will fall asleep holding hands. That I can handle and when it's cold, I'm all for cuddling. But when it's so blasted hot in our bedroom and I get night sweats anyhow, Matt has to stay away from me!!

This morning was so sweet. It was 6 and Matt had to be up to go to school for 7. Well his alarm clock when off, he reached over and turned me over, kissed me softly on the lips and whispered "I love you!" it was so sweet!! Then after he had shaved and brushed his teeth and gotten ready, he came back and cuddled. It was so nice this morning, I didn't want to let him go!! :(
But I was happy that he did cuddle this morning, it was nice! :)

[WebLady]

As far as family goes my mom said I Love You to us alot when we were growing up, I don't remember Dad saying it much until I got older. Yeah I knew they loved me but it kind of lost something for me. (Mom and I don't and never did really have a great relationship, long story) I just felt it was something you say to your family.

As I grew and dated boys said it to me and I said it back, no biggie. With my ex-husband he rarely said it unless he wanted something or was trying to make up for a fight we'd had. So after that I didn't say it much anymore.

When DH and I got together and got serious I just loved him more than I ever thought I could and I absolutely love to hear him say I Love You! I know it really means something with us and I don't care how much he says it. In fact is bothers me sometimes if he forgets. The other day he was out and called me for something and forgot to say it when we got off the phone ... he called back a couple of mins later just to say I Love You :wub:

My mom and dad both say it alot now and that is fine, my mom tries to make up for her other 'issues' by being overly lovey sometimes.

I don't think DH's parents ever said it much, well I know that his mother did, she even said it to me on several occasions. But I've never heard his dad say it, he will sign cards with 'Love, Dad' but that's about it.

DH's Grandparents say it alot too! I don't talk to my grandfathers much anymore and both my grandmothers are gone, but I don't remember them saying it much.

Anyway, I know people are different and I can respect that. As long as you are comfortable in your relationship and the love between you, then I don't guess you have to say it all the time. But, I love what DH and I have and I wouldn't change it for anything.

However, there are times when we are just sitting and watching TV or something and he will pull me close or hold my hand and we don't say a thing, it makes me all warm and fuzzy :wub:

Ok, I will stop rambling naw ;)

I am a very affectionate person. I had a hard time w Nico's dad because he wasn't very affectionate, publicly, or privately, unless it benifitted him. Josh is a very affectionate person, and I love that. Especially w all the probs we seem to have w my fam always being mad at each other, and w all that the kids have gone thru over the past few years, it seems to keep our chins up.

Ok, Christian, you have brought up another subject that Amber & I have discussed at length. Amber has 5 cats and one pit bull and all six sleep on the bed with her and Jason every night. All six!! Helloooooo!! No room! Uncomfortable!! LOL!! I told her I thought she was crazy! I have 2 dogs and one cat, and the only one that comes even close to sleeping with me is is my cat and that's only because I can't stop her because I'm usually sound asleep by the time she gets up there. Amber thinks I'm cruel, but I don't.

my dogs (only 2) sleep with us, it isn't too bad, except dh and I don't get to cuddle much anymore (be we rarely go to bed at the same time anymore either) I couldn't imagine 6 animals sleeping in the bed though :bbeek:

We have my chuiahua always sleeping w/ us and alot of times (lately anyways) our pit sleeps w/ us! (and when Michael falls asleep our terrier mix sometimes sneaks up there.)
The pit (Blue Bear) drove me nuts kicking me last night so I kicked him off! So.. I don't think Blue Bear will be a permanant fixture on our bed! We have 2 more dogs and a cat, but they do not sleep w/ us! I draw the line w/ Blue Bear.

[CindySue]

Well I think our newest "furbaby" got jealous of the snuggling me and Brian were doing last night. The little fart hijacked my pillow!!!

And I absolutely hate to hug her relatives! I would rather have a hot poker in the eye than to have to hug my mother's relatives. I just think it's so fake.

To me, it just gets repetative. I mean, I know it, you know it. Why are we wasting time and breath to keep talking about it? if things change, I'll let you know.

As for touching when we are asleep, it isn't something we do. I wake Sean up if he comes over onto my side of the bed. I don't like having personal space intruded upon. It might be weird. I think it comes from being an only child and having total control of all of my space. I just don't like it. I don't even like when Sean touches or moves something of mine without asking first.

Karen, I'm sorry about your mother. She sounds a little like my mother's mother. She is cold, mean, selfish, greedy, and hatefilled. I certainly hope your mom isn't that bad. I don't so much as speak to my grandmother's family at this point in life because they are all like her. So hugging them is totally out of the question.

To me, it just gets repetative. I mean, I know it, you know it. Why are we wasting time and breath to keep talking about it? if things change, I'll let you know.

LOL!! ...if it changes, I'll let you know. :bblol: How funny!!
That's weird that you say the only child thing, Lacey, because my space issues might stem from having four siblings in the house. You could never get any space alone, so when it came you appreciated it. Please don't take up the one little corner I have on this earth!!! LOL!
My Mother is just cold, I think anyway. She is none of those other things, and I still have a relationship with her. I love her very much too, if I haven't said it before, and I would be devastated if something happened to her. So you have to take how I feel about her with a grain of salt. Amber doesn't think that way about her, and she gets mad at me about it. She thinks I have issues about my Mother that I need to get over. I think if my Mother apologized, it would heal a myriad of wounds.:bbconfused:
