Your partner says that they 'do love you', you follow that through with 'what do you love about me?', and they respond with 'I don't know I just do'?

It's a daft question. Why encourage someone to analyse why they love you? They might think it through and decide they don't.

That's stupid. My partner couldn't answer that question either. Leave the poor bloke alone Grin

That's silly. My dp says that sometimes and I hate it! I don't know how to put it into words, especially not on the spot, I'm not good with wording my feelings. I always feel bad that I can't list it. Unless there's apparent red flags I wouldn't take it to mean anything.

I have no clue why i love dh. I cant give specifics. But i do. I could reel off his positive attributes....and negative. But i cant pin point the exact reason i love him.

I always think people who ask this question are looking for something else. Its quite needy and manipulative.

Well I would never have asked before either, but it would be nice if he could reel off some positive attributes since he expects me to forgive him and work on getting past his cheating on me.

Massive drip feed !

How will hin pointing our your positive traits make it easier to forgive him cheating or repair the damage.

All you will be left thinking is 'so he know i am kind/smart/generous etc....but still shagged someone else'

I get it. You want him to flatter you and make you feel like you are worth something. Trust me, you are. Its him thats the shit. And you are worth more than that.

I think his non-answer is the least of your problems.

It is, however, another indication of the depth of his feelings for you.

I'd think talk is cheap & a cheater can say anything they want.
