Just wondering what other people's stories are?

Latest bloke - just over 3 months. XH - seven months. One overly keen ex - 1 month. I think around 3 months is normal?

TrillianSlasher · 15/10/2010 17:37

I don't remember. Because it's not the saying it that is important.

Lauriefairycake · 15/10/2010 17:39

3 weeks. And every day since then.

Soppy twat.

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 15/10/2010 17:40

4 days, and every day since. Lovely soppy fool that he is Grin

mumblechum · 15/10/2010 17:41

A few weeks, but we'd been good friends for 3 years before we got together iykwim

TheCurrentMrsDeppMustDIE · 15/10/2010 17:42

Together for 15 years, married for 8, still waiting.....

BEAUTlFUL · 15/10/2010 17:42

Oh no, I can feel a competitive thread beginning!

"2 days."

"20 minutes."

"He carved it into a tree the day I was born."

"He carved it into my forehead with a toothpick."

About the same as laurie's post

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 15/10/2010 17:52

No I'm not being competitive! I'm totally aware that we rushed into everything, although we had been together for 3 years when we got married.

MrsDepp - he's never said he loves you? :(

BeGoneFoulBeast · 15/10/2010 17:52

V quickly. Doesn't matter though does it? Actions, words, louder blah blah blah.

TheNextMrsDracula · 15/10/2010 17:53

Not, don't think so. But he shows it. (aaah!)

sfxmum · 15/10/2010 17:54

I have a few years on MrsDepp but am not waiting, have never said it either, but it is not as if we don't love each other, I think we would both feel it would just be too soppy

catwalker · 15/10/2010 19:24

17 years or thereabouts, but every day since I found out about his affair.... Ironic really cos I used to say it to him all the time. Now he says it to me all the time but the words just stick in my throat.

Both of my long-term/serious relationships - after 3 months. Which I thought was probably appropriate in terms of our relationship stage at the time.

I was ready to say it then, too, but I waited until I heard it first. Yes, I know I'm mature Wink

Lynli · 15/10/2010 21:11

3 weeks, but he was only 15.

silveryfox · 15/10/2010 21:42

3 months here. I told him first - he waited for me to say it then told me he felt the same. We were both scared of scaring the other away, or not being reciprocated, but both felt huge relief and happiness once we had said it! Actually, it was only this week!!!
