Is it okay if my boyfriend doesn't say I love you back?

[Anonymous]

Am I overthinking? Is it a big deal or not really? He didn't say "I love you too" yesterday night or in the morning. He has difficulty expressing other emotions because his whole life he has always suppress them so i understand. But he never had trouble saying I love you first or I love you back these past few days. He also never makes me feel unloved because he knows how to make me feel loved. But I can't help but think about this question..

Now if he shows you love then don't worry. He is probably more into demonstrate as remembering important dates and or details. I know females are used to by hearing the special words. Showing says more than just words. Remember he or she wants memories what you do. Words can be heard by one but what you do that made him or her love you more is great memory.

Actions are always better than words. If he's showing you, don't worry about him not saying it. And it's not that he has trouble expressing his feelings; he IS expressing them. But he's expressing them in the only way that really matters: action.

It's understandable that you're feeling uncertain and confused about your boyfriend's response, but it's important to remember that everyone expresses love and emotions differently. Some people may find it easier to say "I love you" than others, and some may feel more comfortable expressing their love and affection through actions rather than words.

However, it's also important to communicate your own feelings and needs to your boyfriend in a clear and respectful manner. If saying "I love you" is important to you, it may be helpful to explain to your boyfriend how much it means to you and why it's important. At the same time, try to be understanding and patient with him, and recognize that it may take time for him to feel comfortable expressing his emotions in the way that you need.

It's also important to remember that actions speak louder than words, and that your boyfriend may be showing his love and affection in other ways that are meaningful to you. Make sure to acknowledge and appreciate these gestures, and to communicate your own love and affection in a way that feels comfortable and natural to you.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to continue the relationship is a personal one that only you can make. It's important to trust your instincts and to prioritize your own emotional well-being, and to communicate openly and honestly with your partner about your feelings and needs.

I believe you are overthinking it. To say "I love you" every time you part is often unnecessary. When couples are together awhile it is often implied to a certain extent via their behavior, a smile, a kiss, etc.

I'm not saying they should go weeks without saying it, as that would be heartless.

Its simply not his love language. He probably shows his love in other ways. I don't have the social cue awareness to say the right things at the right time or the right volume even. If I ever had a partner, I guarantee the arguments would stem from that.

It sounds to me like he does say that he loves you- just not with words. Not all messages are spoken.

If you know he loves you, then I think it's okay. It could be a good idea to work on it though. Being able to say those things, is important in my opinion, and I say that as someone that has trouble with that too.

Give him time. He may be thinking about the future or about how fast he wants to move forward. Give him comfort

i would be overthinking too in your shoes and probably feel awkward as well. have you tried communicating with him before on this stuff?

“Just say, honey is there any reason you left it out the other day, maybe im overthinking”

My boyfriend doesn't either although while one time talking to my friend he said that he had always loved me. They may just feel uncomfortable saying it, but thats ok

"he never had trouble saying it before" yeah something is up. and it's bad... i usually don't say it back when i'm mad or upset at the person so...

[Kabluie]

it's okay, some people don't get on the same level right away.

[gag37627]

It actually is a good thing. it means he wants to feel it to say it. Give him time and reasons to love you
