He didn't return the sentiment

[Babooshka1234]

I messaged my husband this morning and said I love you but his reply was simply a thank you with two xx - am i reading too much into it or would you say he's not feeling the same?

In isolation - too much into it.

I actually am not keen on hearing "I love you too" back as it can sound a bit false. I would much rather a random one which is unexpected, and sometimes I wont say it back at the time for that reason.

My DH once text me the I love you bit when I was a work. Don't think he was best pleased when I replied "that's nice".

I was a work, busy stressful day, I had no head for sentiments.

Didn't mean I didn't love him though.

So in your case, it all depends on what's going on behind the scenes?

With you both.

Married happily for thirty years, wouldn't think twice about this.

Thank you lovely people I feel a whole lot better now :-) Thank you for being there

@Babooshka1234 - he’s your husband. Why are you feeling so insecure about your relationship?

So glad the previous posters made you feel better before the LTB started 😀
