Does "I love you:love you" and "love ya" have separate meanings to you?

in Chit-Chat
But the other day he just said "love ya" should I be worried? We were on break and I sat in the other break room and during the last minutes of break I texted him "ttyl" and he texted back "ttyl love ya" . I'm so used to him saying those three words out
he has always texted me or said "I love you" straight out and I know "love ya" is uauallly casual and it kind of has been on my mind since he texted me it

    I agree with @Poisonedpawn78 I say love ya to my best friends all the time so sometimes they do have different meanings to me. But if it's to a S.O. no matter how I say it, I mean it as I love you. You're over thinking it in this case.

    Most definitely, especially in the online relationship world. Many online relationships get to the 'love ya" stage

    You're overthinking. I think they're said in different circumstances, and sure, casual is casual, but look at the big picture - the meaning is the same. It's "I always end each conversation with a reminder of my deep affection for you." It's important.

    Relationships are long. Not every statement of love is going to be a deep look into your eyes at a beautiful sunset with string music swelling in the background.

    yeah, he is definitely going off you, and probably sleeping with someone else if he can't be bothered with those 2 extra characters in a text message...

    is this seriously what people worry about these days!? :huh:

    If he starts adding "believe me", then that could be cause for alarm.

    I dont think it has another meaning, and my husband would probably be annoyed if I asked him why he said love ya instead of I love you.

    I saw an article yesterday about how people were getting very het up over the use of periods in text messages. If you end a text with a period, it apparently suggests to your recipient that you're angry or giving them the cold shoulder.

    Lmao TBH if I use a period at the end of a text message to my husband im a little annoyed, I dont think he ever picks up on it. I just notice that when im annoyed I never forget to put a period at the end of it :D

    It's pretty obvious just from that single response he has a side piece. More than likely was with her when he sent that. Probably played it off by saying, "Dont worry Tiffany, that's just my sister I'm texting."

    I say "love ya," "I love ya" and "I love you" interchangeably when it comes to my husband. It just depends on what mood I'm in, but I always mean it.

    Okay thanks I guess I'm overthinking
