[quote=Anonymous]Haven't read the whole thread, but just wanted to offer a possible MIL perspective. I grew up never really saying"i love you" in my family. It was known, just not stated. I went to college and heard my roommate saying it all the time to her friends and family. Thought I'd try it the next time I spoke to my parents. I did, and it was fairly awkward. I was kind of embarrassed, but whatev. Terribly, a few days later my Mom died suddenly. "I love you" was the last thing I ever said to her. From then on, I decided to say it whenever I felt like it, just because. My DH just kind of smiles and calls me a "dork" (his version of ILY). My kids smile and usually tell me that back (or hg, or tell me I"m silly). I genuinely just say it because I want to - I have no expectation of a reciprocal statement. Maybe your MIL thinks the same way - better to mean it and say it than not say it?[/quote]
