How often do you tell your husband (/wife /partner etc) that you love them?

I tell everyone I love them all of the time. I'm probably worse with H though, but he's just as bad - but I don't think you can say it too much. It's his birthday today, so I've probably said it about 20 times today already.

It's only too often or too little if one or both of you feels that it ought to be said more or less. I have a friend who finishes every call to her H with 'love you', to the extent it's like an automaton. However, it works for them.

Everytime i speak to him on the phone, when hel leaves for work in the morning when we go to bed and other random times throughout the day! So lots!!

We tell each other all the time, and mean it. It's too much if you are just saying it out of habit rather than actually meaning it.

I don't think there is a too often is there? Maybe if it's in public it could be seen as cloying? We tell each other at least once a day I would think and generally more than that. I don't think I say it enough to my family though.

I don't think I am saying it out of habit and not meaning it, but I am worried that he thinks I am IYSWIM. Maybe its because he says it first a lot less than I do (but he is very guarded with his emotions)

WSS, I always tell people that I love them, and I tell H the most. He's the same with me though. We're a very touchy-feely couple when we're at home so it works for us.

Whenever I want a blow job ?

All the time, me more often than him.

Everyday-at least several times, if not more. It is natural and unaffected. I don't really give it too much thought. I don't think it can be said too much if it's heartfelt.

Maybe daily. I only say it when I want to. I don't automatically say "love you" when he says it. He tells me more than I tell him.

Loads, several times a day (apart from when I'm being stroppy ?

I can imagine the reply ?

I say it now less and less but not because i don't love him! my h hardly ever says it and get embarrased when he does. he rarely says it without prompting

Mmmmmlovemmmmmyoummmmtoo*gulp*?

I was thinking more: I love you too, but no way am I falling for that ?

In that case my reply would be 'let's have a 68 - it's like 69 but I'll owe you one' ?

Waaah ?

Mr P has/had? a t-shirt with the 68 thing on it. I usually hate slogan t-shirts, but that one is quite funny.

Personally, I don't like saying it too often as it can become meaningless. I only say it every now and again when I want that person to know how I feel. I don't like it when people say it almost as an afterthought at the end of a phonecall.

I say it about once a day to my H but not always. I say it when I mean it not when he's leaving the house, ending a phone call etc. He's the same, he says it most days but when he feels it and not just as a habit.

I have a friend and her and her H end every phone call with "love you" no matter what they have said, talked about, argued about and no matter how many times in that last hour (many times!) they have just spoken to each other on the phone. there's no doubt they do love each but its just said out of habit.

It obvioulsy works for them but it does make me want to bang my head sometimes!

We don't say it to each other very much at all. I can't remember the last time I said it to my H, or him to me. I say it to my children often.

Constantly ... at the end of all telephone conversations, when he goes to work, when he comes home, whenever really - I just say it when I feel it. I just don't ever want him to doubt it. I'm such a horrible hysterical pessimist - I wouldn't want anything to happen to him and for him not to know. He does tell me he loves me too but not as much - he knows I'm a bit insecure though so it's not a problem between us.

CBH thats a little how I feel about it too

I tell my OH all the time and I do mean it. He tells me aswell, not always in reply. It's not a case of one says it so the other will.

I want him to know I love him and i'm a soppy so and so at times and just look at him and my feelings are just so strong, so I tell him. (Although that could be hormones ?)

Aww youve made me come over all fluffy sherry

WSS. I say it when I feel it, which happens to be quite often. I don't want him ever to not know how I feel about him.

(It's quite often followed by 'you nobber' though ?)

He is the same, actually probably more soppy than me.

Hardly ever. It makes him suspicious, and rightly so ?

Quite often really, several times a day. Not just out of habit though, but because that's what I'm feeling. We've been married five years and are probably more affectionate now than ever, so we say it to each other more. I don't think there is such a thing as too often unless you or your partner feel it is. What's right for one couple may not be for others.

I do say it when he goes out or if I hang up the phone etc. but not out of habit, but ...well... just in case really. That sounds pathetic but I do worry quite a bit about things like car accidents etc. so I guess that is part of the reason.

D

totally ?, because this is what I really wanted to say. ? to JK. My circs are very different from you though JK, but even when we were loved up it wasn't something which was uttered very much at all. I'm much more of an actions woman tbh, rather than words (perhaps because I work in an environment where words are often crafted to devious effect, and so Im not particularly trustful of them).

I say it a few times a week, but my other half says it at least once a day.

We say it to each other every day, in the morning, before work, after every phone call. Im a bit paranoid about the whole accident thing, i love my husband deeply, I dont ever want him to forget. Sometimes I just look at him and think how much I love him and say it out loud. He's the same with me. We are quite sickening to be honest but its good for 5 years together!!
