The other thread (http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/609541.page) got me thinking... If you said "I love you" to your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse early in the relationship, how did things turn out? |
We said it two weeks in. Married 5y, 2 kids later. |
My husband said it after the first date. We chatted a lot on the phone before meeting. We're married and have 1 baby. My husband died really love me but he's got anger problems. |
Previous relationships we said it early on (like 3rd date, which was 1week-10days after starting to date). They all crashed and burned. DH waited 8 months. Together 8 years, married 6, 1 child, very happy. |
No man should ever say this to a woman until at least four months into a relationship. |
About a month. We've been married for over 13 years. Two kids. |
Said at six days... six years in, married four. So happy and more in love than ever. 1 kid. |
After first date is a HUGE red flag. |
Said it 2 month in. After a major crisis. I was on massive pain medication in the hospital. Husband (of 11 years) still jokes about it.
|
Said it about 2 months in. Got engaged 2 months later. Married 5 years, 2 kids. |
My DH said it on the day we met and I thought he was nuts. We've been together 20 years. |
After three weeks (of spending each weekend together since we were philly/dc). We had also known one another for 10 years at that time. Married 12 years 3 kids. |
Said it after a week or two. He said it back a week or two after that. We were 19/20 at the time. Together 12 years, married 9 years, 1 child. |
I think I said it once, after I'd been married to her for 7 or 8 years.
|
I actually don't think this PP is kidding. My DH didn't say it to me until after we were engaged, ring and wedding date set. Seriously. We are pretty affectionate as a couple and a family regardless. Together over 20 years, married over 16. |
