My husband still can't say 'I love you,' even after 25 years | The Sun
07/22/2022DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER 25 years together, my husband is still incapable of telling me he loves me.
He says he doesn’t need to say three little words to prove he cares and is committed to me.
He claims being a good husband should be proof enough.
But I would love to hear them now and again.
I’m 50 and he’s 54. We have two grown-up children and a happy life.
I don’t understand why he finds it so hard to express his emotions.
I tell him I love him all the time, and he just smiles and says, “Thank you”.
If I push him, he might say, “You too”.

He acts like “love” is a very different four-letter word!
How can I make him see how important this is to me?

DEIDRE SAYS: Some men – and women – find demonstrations of love very difficult, often because they come from backgrounds where the word “love” wasn’t used.
It might come easier to him to write it. Perhaps you could ask if he’d do that one day.
