One morning we were lying in bed, talking sweetly and affectionately, and I told him "I love you." He did not reciprocate. The times he does say it, it is not usually in response to me saying it, it's on his own. Other times he'll say to me, "We love each other," which is still not quite the same.
Thoughts? How much do you hear it and say it in your relationship?
Side note: I've been in relationships where we both said it all the time, after every phone conversation, daily, etc. None of those relationships contained anywhere near the amount of love that I currently have in this relationship. So I'm not complaining, just curious...

Maybe he just doesn't feel the need to say it as often as you do. Does he show you that he loves you in other ways? I mean if you are unsure of he feelings for you then why don't you ask him. Otherwise, you really haven't been together that long and maybe he feels that the I love you is a bigger step then he is ready for at the moment. If you two are happy with eachother, don't worry about how much he says I love you if he shows you in other ways. I asked the same question and the responces that I got made me realize that his actions ment more then those 3 little words.
Don't stress I'm sure he loves you!!!
