If you are in a healthy loving relationship

[noradelphine]

When did you/your partner say I love you?

9 months. He knew I wasn't ready to hear it before then

He said it first after about 2 months. It took me a bit longer but I was 100% sure when I did say it and the feeling has continued to grow.

Ha. I said it probably two months in, in the heat of the moment so to speak. Altho I did mean it, I hadn’t meant to say it then 😂 and then I said it again after another month or so, during an argument and he immediately said it back. Six years ago, and we’re now married with a baby.

Pretty quickly I think, maybe six weeks or so? But we were in our early 20s and swept away. In retrospect we barely knew each other at that point. Even though it worked out well and we are still happily together I would hope my children would be a little more cautious.

The first time? Honestly, I’m not even sure. Maybe after about 3-4 months. We didn’t even kiss for the first 2 weeks despite spending just about every night together. It was a very slow burn to start because he was just so nice and normal.

I said it to him after about 2 months, I was very drunk at the time and have only hazy memories! He teased me about it the next day but then said he felt the same.

Together 7 years now married 2

Like 1 month in but we were 16! 13 years later now... ☘️

First date at the end he said I think I'm falling in love with you and I felt the same. It just felt right , 24 years later and 4 children and he still gives me butterflies.

A few months in as I remember, but have since discovered he'd said it a couple of times in his native language earlier, before he was ready to say it in a way I'd understand (he's very much the romantic of the two of us ).

The first time we slept together
Which was also our very first date

We’d known each other for about 9 months before that.

Two years. Just shy! Felt it but never said.
Since learned to be a lot more open with feelings!

BUT I knew he was shy. I knew he loved me by his looks and actions. I was confident in him so I waited. If he hadn't been shy and he hadn't shown me love by actions, I wouldn't have waited that long.

Met last August, told each other in October I think? I was too scared to tell him, then he told me & added that he was gonna tell me every day for the rest of my life...
which so far he has 😍

5 days. It was love at first sight and we've been married 35+ years.

Two weeks. We were very young, but still together 28 years on. Everyone is different though and there's no right or wrong or normal with this.

I think it was around six weeks, although we both knew right from the start. Married 32 years now.

We both said it on our 6th date, on an amazing weekend away in Morocco ❤️

Ha, I blurted it out during a very sexy intimate moment recently, guess I got carried away, I immediately felt shocked I'd said it, followed it up with "did I just say that? Sorry". Normal service resumed, not spoken of since. I'm a firm believer that 2 instances where it doesn't count are during sex and when drunk ( I may have had a few too many also).
Do I love him? I can see it in the future maybe, but after only 3 months, you don't really know someone well enough in my book, personally I'd give it more than 6 months usually, carried away in the moment isn't deep enough - but that's just me, at my later, more cautious stage in life. When I was younger, it was earlier but not necessarily as wise

2 weeks in. Whether we actually meant it I'm not sure but it definitely felt like it at the time.

Within the first month at least. He said it first but I knew I loved him the second I laid eyes on him. 27 years and 3 teenagers later, he still makes my stomach flip when he walks through the door every evening.

Its been 4 months he has said it. I'm nowhere near. I'd like to be but ultimately he's only going to go off and fuck some other woman at some point. No point getting too attached.

We said it about 6 or 7 weeks in, although we both wanted to say it for weeks before that.

I told DP before I was seeing him, absolutely certain that it was the case, he told me he felt the same about an hour later. Decided we'd get married ASAP probably within a week or two.

About two months. We were young (I was 18, he was 20). We started saying I really like you for a while and then he said I love you. That was about 15 years ago. Took 11 years to get married mind!

About ten days. We really are all that awful cheesy shit about being each other's missing puzzle pieces

Within a couple of weeks,we both said it at the same time,that was 16 years ago.
