    In my family, you do this to EVERYONE you love, not just your SO. So just about every time I hang up with a dear friend or relative gets an I love you, too.

    Not unless he's been away for a while and we're talking on the phone.

    Th first time my fiance told me he loved me, we were 17. I broke up with him! lol.. told him I wasn't ready for that. He knows it's not a word I throw around lightly.. but yes.. it's something that is said all the time in our house, on the phone.. whenever. Our kids probably hear it 50 times a day between the 2 of us.

    Not every phone call, but most of them. I am sure we don't need to remind each other of our love, but it is nice to hear it anyway. It doesn't get old to me, and I hope it doesn't for her. Depending on the situation of the phone call, it certainly does help to hear it at the end. However, we do not do the cutesy "no...I love you more- no you hang up" BS. That is just annoying lol.

    We also do the occasional hand holding in public. Or the surprise back rub/butt slap/crotch grab while you are doing mundane tasks around the house. I always enjoy them, and feel it strengthens the relationship just as much as saying "I love you". In fact, that is what I take it as. A physical way of saying "I love you" without actually saying it.

    As far as the inappropriate texting. That is like relationship gold. LOL i rarely find it, but when I do, I smile at the giant nugget of awesome.

    Every phone call but the fight calls. But usually by the end of the night, we're saying it again. :P

    I have been married for 17 years. I tell her I love her every chance I get, including at the end of a phone conversation.

    Always, get jokes from other people sometimes, but I don't care. Never know what could happen I guess, just like I never leave angry, never want that to be the lasting memory.

    On the phone he tells me before he hangs up every time and I say it back, but I'm usually the first to say it in person and he says it back.

    We probably say it to each other at least 10 times a day.

    Guilty of not doing it. Funny, they are the easiest 3 words to say, yet so hard to say it often enough. I do however say it everynight faithfully before bed.

    No, usually I am annoyed by the end of the phone call. But it is a really good idea to do it because you never know what might happen

    Haha, sometimes I feel this way (annoyed) with my bf at the end of the call because he takes about 5 min to say goodbye (bye babe, you're the best, have a great day, i'll be thinking about you, love you babe, you're beautiful). He literally will say all of that before we hang up. I know it is sweet and very caring for him to say that, but sometimes I just like it short and sweet. Overall, I love him for it :-)

    Around the house, I think the jokingly "I Hate you" s fly around more than the ILY's do.

    When I was still married, I always used to tell her I loved her. Once, I ordered pizza from Dominos and told the dude taking my order that I loved him out of habit.

    Yes. As well as every time one of us leaves. In fact, we work for the same company, but drive separately just in case one of the kids gets sick or he has to work late and we say we love each other ever day before we come to work even though we know in 20 minutes. :heart:

    ^ we do this as well. LOL

    i had a friend tell me that my husband was my "brother-husband". i was like "i'm not from the backwoods dude..." LOL but she meant that we tease, fight, etc like brother and sister sometimes. i love that we can be ourselves though. we're nerds. :happy:
