    Absolutely NOT! I think it's silly to even think there is a difference. The difference is in the tone, not the words! Feelings are displayed in the tone! Simple as that!

    I think the words "I love you" are very powerful, and people have dismissed it and reduced it to almost nothing, like the anoying - I:heart: whatever-.

    I make it a point to say "I Love You" to my husband and kids. It means something more than just words to me. Im old school. I make it count:smokin:^^^This!

    Its weird but there's a difference to me lol. I say 'love you" like I would hi or bye. I only say "I love you" when I'm feeling particularly lovey dovey. So one is much deeper than the other, to me that is....

    I am pretty fond of the term L-Bombs, personally. :)

    But don't even get me started on the difference between Thanks and Thank you.

    A comedian on people typing "luv u" in texts:

    “I am in no doubt that if you use the term 'luv' in a letter or text message then you are incapable of truly understanding the emotion. Artists have not pored over heartache and unrequited sentimentality for years so that our generation could decide that four letters is simply one too many to express how we feel.”

    I say "love you" to my husband, just to tell him I am aware of him in daily life or to end messages on the phone, but before I leave the house or when I am really with him (like cuddling) I say "I love you".
    Cause the latter phrase means much more to me and to the heart, you never know when you see someone back again or at all.
    Not being overly pessimistic, but traveling everyday and seen to much as a nurse!

    It depends on your partner. Some people use language in their own way, and if you know that, you shouldn't read into it when they don't use the same words that you do.

    Well we said I love you all the time, and the divorce was final 9/27

    How does he TREAT you. Does he show compassion? Does he communicate? Does he show consideration?

    THAT says "I love you" more than the words.

    I don't really think there's much of a difference. When we're just saying it randomly, my fiance and I say "I love you". When one of us is leaving we give a peck on the lips and a "love you!" I suppose one is more when we're rushing, but they both mean exactly as much :)

    I tell my husband I wub him

    We do that too! :heart: :flowerforyou:

    I'll say "I wub you" and he says "I love you too." And then I say, "No, I said I WUB you." and make him say it back :P

    There's a difference. Laziness. Sometimes I'm just too tired to get out the extra "I".

    Does it make it less meaningful? Maybe just as much as hearing it for the 12,823rd time. I think you're reading too much into it.

    This, but also, your ticker picture is my mom's Facebook profile picture, lol. It actually reminds me of her, she makes that face.

    "I love you" = I care for you deeply, you mean the world to me.

    "love you" = I'm sleeping with your best friend, it's over, I just don't know how to break it to you.

    We say "I love you" , "love you" , "lovers you", "luv dew" (which is returned with "luv dew too).

    I don't think it's laziness at all but that's my personal relationship.....maybe if you are bothered by it your relationship is in trouble!

    ^^^This

    Honestly if someone is telling you they love you. Be happy. Stop looking for reasons to freak out.
