After a small row with my DH, I asked him if he still loves me... (just something I do, not serious or anything) and he said, yes...thats my downfall! Would you take that as an insult, or a term of endearment?
Thanks

I think it means that he loves you no matter what!
Hard to grasp when you are on the receiving end though I think....

It all depends on the context - he could mean, Thats my downfall because you are such a bitch and you make my life hell! Or it could be actually very romantic - as in, I'm helplessly under your spell! I guess only you can answer that one.

The whole "do you still love me" thing is clingly, attention seeking, bullshit though. I can say that, because I do it all the time!! I swear it drives DP up the wall!

He tried to say its a nice thing to say... but all i see it as im a "bad habit that he cant help"

If he says he thought it a nice thing to say then he meant it as a nice thing to say! I would have probably taking it as an insult myself, but that is because i have issues! Hence the need to keep asking if he loves me!

I'd take it as a term of endearment.
Only an insult if things are so bad that sense of humour is no longer alive.

Term of endearment - he's trying to cheer you up, saying you might be difficult to handle at times (only you can say if this is actually the case) but he is devoted to you all the same.

If there is an underlying worry then you need to sit down and talk about that properly so he can reassure you or you can sort it out.

Of course im not difficult to handle

Ok will take it as a term on endearment..thanks all

I think if he said it was meant to be a nice thing to say then take it as that. Men are much less complex than us ladeeez. I don't think they do double meanings???
