I am tired of friends and relatives with bad marriages saying "I love you" at the end of every phone call! (man, cheater)

It's no ones business how people choose to end their phones calls with their spouses, whether they have great marriages or crappy ones.

I mean, stand back and re-read the thread title and the ridiculousness of it should scream out.

Who was the one in search of "common knowledge?"

What should he have said to his employees?

I thought you were retired? How do you hear it 100 times a day? I'm still trying to wrap my head around this comment.

Samston. He had other names before too, but that was his handle when I joined.

The names are changed, the players the same.

You have no input on of "I love you" having meaning or not. You don't determine the frequency, intent and feeling of what other couples say to one another.

You seem to think your opinion matters more than it does.

I used to be pretty stingy with "I love you's", but not any more.

Maybe it is because I'm in NY and personally know some who died in 9-11, but ever since then I make sure I say it all the time. You never know when the last opportunity to say it will be.

So, why would anyone complain about hearing people telling someone they love them? Good grief.
