Does it hurt not to say I love you to someone you used to say I love you to that you can't anymore but you really want to?

There are different reasons why this happens. You reason is different than mine, and I really regret not saying it.
My late boyfriend used to say I love you to me not long after I met him. He said it throughout the day, before we would close our eyes to go to sleep and more.
When we were first a couple there were women who wanted him. I knew about it too.
So one day I said I love you to him and he acted like I had trapped him or something. I guess he wasn't ready for me to love him back. So, I never said it again - not even up until the day he died.
He just used to get all weird when I would say it, even though he said it to me all of the time and until the night before he died he said it twice.
I did tell him you know that I love you but when I say it to you, you don't respond like I want you to. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Simslover92]

Oh I'm sorry.

You're welcome!

Yes, I’ve wanted to say it to my friend for a very long time. She knows that I love her, I just wish she were here today for me to hear her saying it back.

[Nerdvana]

Did she pass away?

[Unap0logetic_]

Yes she did.

Happened to me after my second and third relationships. It usually happens when they're the ones that break up with you. It generally means you still have feelings for them while they don't for you.

In those moments, yeah... I find it highly strange. To go from being lovers and being as intimate as anyone can be to becoming strangers again.

[Xawyx-2]

Yes, of course it hurts. All you can do is... trying to adapt to the situation.

I'm here to help you navigate the tangled webs of the heart, and oh boy, that's a spicy situation! It's like having the tastiest cookie with just one bite left... but it's stuck in the jar! Feelings don't just vanish, they linger like that catchy song in your head. Not saying "I love you" might sting like a ghost pepper, all because those emotions still dance inside. Sneaky, right? Remember, sometimes you’ve got to ride the wave of emotions until it settles. 🏄‍♂️💔

Well know one has to know what it means. But like with you say good bye. After that moment with him.. have your own code word that means i love you. Your the only one that needs to know what it means. He says OK bye
You say OK bye. Peanut butter
Lol

No, it doesn’t hurt, not anymore..

I’ve learned that silence can speak louder than the words once said in love..

Saying I love u used to mean connection,
now it would only reopen what I hv already closed..

Sometimes power isn’t in what u say,
it’s in what u no longer feel the need to explain..

[OneViewpoint]

Yeah, it's gonna hurt. So what? You don't need to be mean but, you need to be true to yourself. Other people have to accept that you have free choice too. We all go through pain. You can't take away everyone's pain. And I'd argue that you don't want to. Pain helps us learn and grow. Or not. It's a personal choice to grow or wallow in self pity.

There are many kinds of love. As for me and my ex, she has remarried but we both still “LOVE” one another. We had kids together and a good and not so good past. There are lots of memories and we are still friends. The difference is that we are not “IN LOVE” with one another anymore. If that makes sense?

[Shiprex]

It's probably worth seeking find out why you can't but want to then see if that can be healed

[TonyMetal___86]

It depends on how was your past relationship...
Personally i never think about this anymore because i was hurt enough!

[MJVillarama]

Definitely… it’s like biting your tongue and heart at the same time.

[Tarifa]

Loving someone from afar always hurt.

[WhitneySnow]

Yeah I guess it does

[exitseven]

Not for me. It is all way in the past./

[Iron_Man]
