How often do you tell your dp/dh that you love them?

I say it to dp quite often and he says it back but he doesn't say it that often without me saying it first.

Just curious as to how often other couples say it?

I say it to dh most nights when we go to bed. He doesn't often say it back to me...

TrinityRhino · 02/03/2007 16:02

maybe four or five times a week, mostly I say it first and he always says it back but sometimes he says it first

ShowOfHands · 02/03/2007 16:03

Always say it before we go to sleep, at the end of phone calls, as one of us leaves for work etc. Probably say it a few times a day for no reason at all too. He says it first more than me I think.

Looking at it written down that's fairly nauseating.

Radley · 02/03/2007 16:03

About half a dozen, maybe more times a day

myturn · 02/03/2007 16:05

Very rarely - unless inebriated... dh says it every day. I find it almost impossible to show affection...

robbosmum · 02/03/2007 16:12

ditto my turn... or of course i want something.it is now a joke between us

myturn · 02/03/2007 16:16

Lol robbosmum - oh yes, if I do say it he immediately asks what I want...

ivelostmyboobsboohoo · 02/03/2007 16:27

ditto myturn and robbosmum!!!! tho he saysd it all the time.... and thats cause he usually wants something too

hoolagirl · 02/03/2007 16:30

All the time, same as show of hands.

Twinkie1 · 02/03/2007 16:30

Every day at least 3 times - when he leaves and when he comes home and when we go to bed - we are sad newly weds though!!

He has emailed me at least 5 times today with LULX (love you lots) written at the bottom!!

Ceolas · 02/03/2007 16:30

Most days.

cinnamontam · 02/03/2007 16:31

All the time - same as SOH

JodieG1 · 02/03/2007 16:34

All the time too, same as soh. Been married 5 years, together for nearly 9 and 3 kids

dingdongjustforyoufg · 02/03/2007 16:43

he says it more than me at least once every day

Blandmum · 02/03/2007 16:46

Several times a day, every day that we have been together, which is over 20 years.

Say it often. At the risk of being maudlin, you don't know how much time you have together

LaDiDaDi · 02/03/2007 16:47

Every day, at least twice but probably more if phone calls and texts are taken in to considrration.

noddyholder · 02/03/2007 16:50

When I really feel like it

tiredemma · 02/03/2007 16:52

Every day. Possibly about 3/4 times.

  1. when he leaves the house for work

a couple if we speak by phone during the day

before I go to sleep at night.

star1976 · 02/03/2007 16:52

I say it al the the time, (enf of phone converastion when one of us leaves the house, when we go to bed, wtc) but DP hardly ever says it and even then NEVER says it first.

giraffeski · 02/03/2007 16:55

frenchconnection · 02/03/2007 18:07

hmm.. let me think... never!!

Hulababy · 02/03/2007 18:11

We say it to each other, and DD too, all the time - at least once a day; often more.

badelaide · 02/03/2007 18:12

Aloveheart · 02/03/2007 18:12

Every day at least once and he says it back.

KristinaM · 02/03/2007 18:13
