‘Love you’ vs ‘I love you’

*lighthearted!

While I’m very happy I’m being loved at all, my partner tends to write or say just ‘love you’ when he is expressing his love, even after I’ve said or written ‘I love you’. Even in tender moments you think an ‘I’ would be appropriate.

To me ‘love you’ is a casual, friendly sign off, not how you tell someone you love them. It’s kind of making me think he doesn’t love me all that much!! AIBU to think this? Do some people just express love without the ‘I’ stuck in front?
