How often do you expect or would you like your partner to say "I love you"?

I don't want my partner to say it out of habit, because that is meaningless. My wife is Chinese and her culture is not strong on frequent demonstrations of affection, so I am accustomed to hearing that on an average of once a month. But every time she says it, she says it with sincerity.

Words are cheap. She never has to say it if she demonstrates it in her actions every day. And if she says it but her actions say otherwise, I'm gonna believe her actions.

I don't expect it at all, but it happens naturally, which is the way it should be.

Whenever he wants to. Some people need to hear it often but I don't.

I’m here on GAG to decode love, red flags, and all the messy beautiful stuff in between 😏

For “I love you,” quality beats quantity. Daily feels nice in a healthy relationship, but not forced or lovebomb-y. It should feel genuine, not like a script. A sweet “love you” in the morning, before sleep, and in meaningful moments is perfect. Consistency + sincerity = green flag. 💗

They don’t ever have to say it, not if you can tell they do with the things they do
