Please Help me, need feedback ....

I am afraid of the responses that I might get not being what I hope to hear, but I still need your feedback AB! I would like to know if you think that 1 year into a relationship should be enough time to know if you love someone or not?? and by love I mean, in love with them, see marriage with them in the future, can't see living without them....

Should a year be more than enough time? or is it different for everyone and for some that is just not enough time? Does it depend on age? Do you think that it's a bad sign if your partner doesn't know if they love you that way after being with you for a year??

Please give me your thoughts on this....I am uneasy about what I might hear, but I need to know or I won't be able to rest!

If it�s any conciliation I have been married for 46 years and my good lady as NEVER told me that she loves me BUT I know she must or she wouldn�t have up with me that long I do feel reassured though when we have a cuddle yes after all these years we still do
Does everyone around you tell you that they love you? No, But I bet they do love you
If he didn�t love you, you would have seen cracks before now enjoy each others company and who knows in 46 years time you may be writing to reassure someone about their feelings

I've read this thread with real interest.

I have rarely had a problem expressing how I feel, although it can be hard on occasions. But everyone is different I suppose. When I have been in relationships (I'm taking a long break from them at the mo ) I have found that it has been hard for us, NOT to say "I love you". But then none of them have ever worked out, so that might tell you something. While a close friend of mine has rarely expressed to his GF how he feels but they have been together 7 years! I think many people stay together not necessarily out of love, but because the relationship is cosy and stable, and they prefer not to be alone.
