ok..i will start taking some survey and ask people randomly if they say things like "i love you' at any point of their relationship. but there is a chance that women will slap the hell out of me every time i ask them this question
In a romantic sense, not since I divorced. I´ve felt deeply for men friends since then, but not enough to actually say those three little words which has caused problems with relationships.
mnowsa: i have always believed that there are few things in this world are better left untold, and the phrase 'i love you' is one of this things. Sometimes, the sound of silence can be more loud than the actual words.
True silence can speak volumes, but with love there are many different ways for it to be expressed.
Part of loving someone is learning what is important to your partner. Just because we think a certain way and understand that its love, to them it being expressed in the same way may not translate that way. Does that make sense?
There is a great book called the Five Love Languages which talks about the various ways that we express and receive love.
Finding out how your partner needs to receive and know that they are loved is vital ..... you make think you are doing all the right things (which for you that may be true) but for them its not communicating love at all.

Learning the other person's language of love can be hard. Harder still if they are not from the same culture.
My partner's family is a culture onto themselves in many ways. Thankfully we had our families to translate and mediate.
