[quote=Anonymous]It def sounds like you have deeper problems than the I love you issue.

DH and I have been happily married for over 10 years and  he's never been big on saying I love you, but was pretty clear about that from the beginning.  He doesn't say it for the same reasons as your BF.  I didn't grow up with the phrase being said all the time, but I liked hearing it said to me.  However, it wasn't a big point of contention.  I said it to him whenever I wanted and I took what I could get.  Years later he pointed out to me that the little things he does for me daily are his way of showing his love.  It was an earth shattering moment for me since I pride myself on being able to understand people (especially him), and it never occurred to me that he was telling me, in his own way, how much he loved me.  Of course I know he loves me, I just didn't put together that all those little things meant something.  I hate to say it, but that Love Languages book was spot on in my case!  You AND BF should read it if you think your relationship is worth the time and effort.[/quote]
