How often do you need to hear the words "I love you," from your partner?

[BeeNee]

Several times a day

At least once a day

A few times a week

Whenever is fine

I don't need to hear the words, I know they love me

[Sonorous]

I don't have a partner but I still think I'd need to hear it often because there will be times where I'll hear other people say it to someone & I'll start tearing up from the fact that I don't have that being said to me.

[Xoxocutekitty]

I don't necessarily need to hear the exact words "I love you" but I do need to hear (unprompted) that they care for or appreciate me in some capacity everyday.

Things like:
- I missed you
- luv u
- how did I get so lucky
- you're the cutest
- best girlfriend/wife
- it's so nice to come home to u
- I want your cuddles
- wow this tastes amazing
- the house is so clean, thank you
- I saw this and it made me think of u
- daytime texts that say "hugz"

[Hawkes_Lady]

I don't need to hear it every minute of the day, I am okay with whenever he feels like telling me... but I am not against him telling me repeatedly if he feels like it. Everyone likes to know that the person they love also loves them!

But that being said if they show you that they love you, then you don't feel as much need for them to tell you.

[Hawkes_Lady]

Thanks for the MHO!

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

As long as they SHOW it… I don’t really need to HEAR it… The words mean way less then the actions… anyone can say it without meaning it… actions are harder to fake…

[AnusNdaPainus]

No
People need to hear it.

Like snoop dogg and his son
He became I college football star because he didn’t want to live in his dad’s shadow and wanted his da to be proud of him and love him
And when snoop told him he was already proud of him and loved him regardless he quit football

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@AnusNdaPainus that has nothing to do with me tho does it 🤷‍♀️

[AnusNdaPainus]

This may be hard to accept or understand
But your life isn’t about YOU

[davado88]

@AnusNdaPainus negrologic is fascinating

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@AnusNdaPainus sorry to say but at this stage in my life, yes it tf is

[AnusNdaPainus]

It’s really not.
I pray you live longer to realize that.

[AnusNdaPainus]

@davado88 negrologic, what is that?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@AnusNdaPainus I love when young people try to “school” old people like they know so much more… I’ve lived MY WHOLE LIFE for others, and now I’m living it for me… I pray you get it as you get older 🤷‍♀️

[davado88]

@AnusNdaPainus strange rationale

[AnusNdaPainus]

Clearly life isn’t done teaching you because you still don’t get it

[AnusNdaPainus]

@davado88 in comparison to?

[davado88]

@AnusNdaPainus your intellectual equivalent which im guessing would be a potato

[davado88]

maybe a brussels sprout

[AnusNdaPainus]

@davado88 no if you’re saying it’s strange then you must be comparing it to your own rationale or someone else’s

[DannyUk2017]

I Live You is NOT and OBJECT to pass along, or hand it over like a "key" whenever you need it or vice-versa... I live you is a Word mixed with Feelings, Chemistry, Desire, Arousal for Love, is a "word" that makes you Heart pumping faster, is a word that makes your Blood pressure rise, is a word that even for a man that is (feeling it) gives butterflies in his stomach...

[DannyUk2017]

Meant *Love damn it. Just spotted the mistake.🤦‍♂️😂

[Avicenna]

Whenever she wants to is fine. What's more important is that her actions demonstrate that she does.

[Constatine]

Not often... She shows by the way she looking at me.. The way she touches.. And other small things that will over power the words.

Everyone can say the words... But do they mean anything? Words can be faked... The small things that matters... Don't

[Juxtapose]

Multiple times a day! I was raised with a lot of affection and not getting that in what is supposed to be the most deep type of relationship in the world is pretty messed up to me.

If I tell you I love you and you just tell me okay or whatever then we see the world very differently.

[strateguy632]

me? i don't expect it even once a month. if she acts loving it is real and if not, then even saying it is just "lip obligation " to tell her friends "but i DO tell my husband/child. why don't they reciprocate". j. k.

[molonski2]

I do not need affirmation for stuff like this , the most frightening thing is those who voted once a day or more , thats a sick puppy , not a human.

[OfMiceandMen]

A few times a week is plenty or whenever she gets around to it. TBH - if she shows me some interest/affection once in awhile, I can tell from that alone.

[snowboarder720]

Words of affirmation isn’t my love language and neither is theirs. We still tell each other that we love each other and we focus on each other’s love language more.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I don't need to "I love you" since I already know he truly does.

Besides, he tells me that often.

And, I reciprocate just as much.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I don't need to *hear "I love you" since I already know he truly does.

[glennos89]

Actions speak louder then words. Words can be empty because we all know some people tell you a lot of bullshit that isn't true just to make themselves feel better or to manipulate others

[electromagnetic]

He says it every night in case one of us dies in our sleep.

[DizzyDesii]

I remember when he got sick and i told him “you better fckin say it back every day this week. Might be your last” 💀🤣

[electromagnetic]

@DizzyDesii exactly. I don’t know if we’ll both end up in heaven so he better get it together 😆

[DizzyDesii]

Haha

[_NightGuard_]

Maybe sometimes it may seem more important to make people feel this word than to say it, but to tell the truth, sometimes a person may want to hear this word from the person she loves, even if it is once a week.

[sheikalana]

Me and my husband never say 'I love you' to each other. We know we love each other very much and we'd rather show it through our actions. Words don't mean much.

[Meropatrick]

I never hear this word from anybody and i dont say it that often and it doesn't bother me. I consider real love in actions. Actions speaks louder than words

[FreyaRed]

I don't need that at all. Words are cheap, deeds reveal more clear statements

[Madkeyra00]

I think if he/she shows they love you it’s not necessary to daily on a daily basis.

[whirled_up_girl]

I don't have a partner but when I do whenever would be fine.

[DizzyDesii]

Preferably once a day. But At least once every other day

[Anonymous]

Especially during sex. After he's cum inside me and he's holding me, kissing me and sucking on my nipples as I rub myself to crygasm while he tells me he loves me and how beautiful I am.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

Once a day is great, combined with a hug is great🥰

[Anemone978]

Never.. so every week or so I will ask him "do you love me?" LOL

[Anemone978]

Lol oh I read it wrong.. I would like to hear it once a day.. but that doesn't happen :P

[RingOfFire]

I don't want to hear her say anything else BUT that. 🙂
