I think you are not getting that sometimes people say things that they actually mean. When my husband and I tell each other that we love each other - they aren't just words. We actually mean them. It sounds like you think that words never have any meaning in relationships or that people don't have meaning to each other.
I guess I just don't really understand your whole post. I love my husband. I love who he is. I love having sex with him. I love cuddling with him. I love our life together. What is it that is confusing to you?
One can say such things and mean them. One can fall seriously in love a few times during a long life. I think a promise of eternal love is foolish. No one can foresee the future and the impact of circumstances. However, one can do one's damnedest to behave lovingly for as long as is humanly possible. We mortals are not perfect and love cannot always be everlasting, at least not as is felt initially.
Therefore, better off with the lies. If people cannot guarantee to be with the other significant one the entire life, then avoid the "you are the love of my life" joke. There is NO JUSTIFICATION to incur to lies to build up romance. The only way at this time I can understand such an expression is a dying person saying farewell to his or her partner.
Because he sound way too corny. He does not sound real. And I am not the only one who thinks this way.
Just because it's corny doesn't mean it isn't real for them. Some people are just that much in love. I'm not much for overly corny but there's nothing wrong with doing/saying sweet things for your SO.

The corniness. The overdoing of romance. The lies. Maybe you and your spouse will be together the rest of your lives. But if you spend half of the time fighting and half of the time cuddling (this is an example I am not saying you are doing this since I don't know you). I can't stand the exaggeration of feelings.

Perhaps to you other people seem like their feelings are exaggerated - but to them they are very real. Just because you don't feel things the same way that others do does not mean that their feelings are invalid. I do believe that my husband is the love of my life. I'm not sure why this would bother you since it is really just between my husband and me.
Oh - and we don't spend half of our time fighting and the other half cuddling - I'm not even sure what that has to do with anything or where you came up with that.

but you probably told that other guy you were with before him the same exact things. I'm sure of it. That's what is so over the top about it....now it's not a personal bother but neither is anything else in any of the threads.
