kellyisme Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 Having a wonderful emotional and sexual relationship with a former HS sweetheart; we are both in are early 50s. He has told me that I am his "soulmate" and that he has loved me since high school, although he married and raised a family with another. We've been dating 9 months. He tells me he loves me, and I do the same, but how much of an emotional conversation can I expect? We have a wonderful relationship as far as being active with common interests, sex, stimulating conversation regarding politics, but he rarely says "I love you". I'm feeling like I need to hear this more than he says it, if I ask for it more will he run? If he DOES run after I ask then that's a deal breaker. Should I risk it?
Angel1111 Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 If he does tell you that he loves you, then I don't think you should sweat it. There's rarely a perfect balance in anything but this really isn't a big deal, as far as I can tell. People don't have to say it all the time. The important thing is a person's actions - that speaks more of love than words. The words are great as long as they match the behavior, so if he acts loving and connected to you, then I wouldn't worry about it.
