I love you to the ones you love? I think in the relationship of a parent for his/her young child and a young child for his parent - it’s easy to say the words, and we don’t think twice about expressing ourselves. But as we get older, we take the parent-child relationship for granted - how frequent do adult children and parents say the words to one another?
Likewise, a couple in the first bloom of love will probably say it several times in a single conversation because of the newness of the relationship and the giddyness of the emotion, but once the relationship is older, we take our loved ones for granted and may forget to express our feelings for one another.
And what about the myriad of other relationships, aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, friends - how often do you tell them you love them? And maybe the better question is - how important are the words?
@ Sahar and Decent. That’s why I posed the question. I can clearly remember when I last said the words to my siblings and parents because it was a moment out of the norm. It kind of makes me sad that I don’t say it more often even though they assure me that they “know” and that words aren’t necessary :hinna:
I said i love you to my mum recently, she had a smile on her face after i said it, i also said it jokingly to my SIL she found it funny and soon after i was like "i dont know wat came over me, i was joking".
With my bro's and my dad i find it weird to say i love u, i do say "i love u really" right after ive cussed them if that counts, thats with my bro's not my dad.
With my nieces im always telling them i love them, we have this thing where i say i love u more and they repeat.
And my SO and I say it a lot. With everyone else not too much!!
Why did I know you were going to say something like that.
You realized being arrested for harassment wasn’t worth it, right?
