He Won't Say He Loves Me?

-Firstly, I know for certain that I'm in love with my boyfriend. Before being with me, he was the type of guy who wouldn't get into relationships- he has commitment issues- but, as he likes to say, I am the "girl [he would] give it all up for". He shows every sign that he is in love with me: we practically act like a married couple.



Here's the issue: He won't SAY he loves me- he uses the phrase "I miss you" in the place of "I love you", and I'm afraid of doing it, but I feel like I'm going to have to be the one to say it first.



PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICE?If youre sure youre both in love with each other, you should go ahead and say it. Its likely the'll then say it back. He was probably starved of love as a child as was i and now i find it a little confusing if somebody feels that strongly about me cos nobody ever hugged me or said they loved me when i was young yet when those words come out and the look in his eyes is so sincere i know he means it so its easy to return those wordsIt's most likely the phrase wasn't used in his family either so he's really uncomfortable saying it to anyone.

Surprisingly many people feel saying I love you can jinx the relationship. I've known at least four people who felt this way, including my own husband.

Just let it go. If you two stay together he may eventually start saying it. As long as you know he does you he really doesn't have to tell you he loves you.

My hubby didn't start saying it until almost 20 years into the marriage,
how long have you been together? he might be that guy who will never tell you - even when you old and married -are you sure you are up for that?
