My partner has only said he love's me with out being promted twice once when we first meet ( which through me as we had only known each other for about 3 months) and once last year. Since then he hasn't said it. When speaking to him about it he just say's "its not me" and that I know that he does! I think it is important for people to say and for them to hear. I'm not sure if I can live in a relationship with a man that cannot show/speak his feelings. I know he cares very much but not sure if thats enough. He does say it back when I say it to him but I'm begining not to believe it as he never says it unless I do.
I don't beleive that you should say it all the time but enough so that people know. Am I making to much of something or not?
No, I think its reasonable to expect your partner to show their feelings to you.
My boyfriend is the same and if I don't say it first he hardly ever says it unless I have a go at him.
I can tell in lots of ways that he really does love me but in others I doubt what he says.
Maybe you should lay the cards on the table and tell him unless he does than you can't be in that relationship.
