FeelLikeAJerk Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 I am espeically interested in guys response to this. What if you tell someone "I love you" and there is no ILU return on investment? I understand that it is about sharing the feeling, and not about expecting a return. Also - please do not respond about how it should not be said unless it is genuine yada yada. Those are all givens. I said it because I meant it, and I thought I was prepared for the no ROI, but now that it is out there unreturned, I feel really weird. I don't feel like opening up like that anymore. I feel like a jackass bascially. Any thoughts on this happy people?
submart Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Same thing happened to me. I'm glad that he didn't say it back though if he doesn't feel the same way. Let's see what everyone says...
ICS Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Expecting an "I love you" in return is not realisitc.. Rememeber that just because you feel comfortable with those three words right now doesn't mean your partner is too. When you love someone, you give without constantly thinking of ways to justify your love for them, otherwise you do not really love them as much as your words dictated. Be patient, and keep in mind that when you do hear an "I love you", it'll be straight from their heart and not from your pressure of expecting an eye for an eye.
Milo Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 So I take it the other person has never said "I love you" to you in the first place? Just wait until you don't get it in return after you have been married a few years. Ha ha ha. Well, it's very annoying. I just stopped saying it. Nya nya nya. But I think I'll be hearing it again if I can just wait long enough. Ah, amore!
