"I love you"...

[The Good Reverend Roger]

I don't give him hell about it though. I never show any sign of annoyance.
I know he loves me, I just don't know if he knows I love him too. I'm not very good at showing affection. He says I have the emotional depth of a Klingon.

ngungerung.  i know. boohoo. 

Put the rape to him.  That's like Valentine's day every day!

yup.

Next time he says "I love you", respond with "prove it to me, sexy.  lets make love, right here, right now", and take your clothes off.

If it doesn't help, at the very least the sex will be fun.

How is this some wild or crazy thing? Or any different from normal every day stuff.

Take benzos, and you WILL be.

At first I thought thread was Red Man.

Then I thought it was "let's put mescaline in everything" day again.

Bedtime, I'm certain I'll wake up screaming thanks to you all.   

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

We are here to assist.

[LMNO]

Mrs LMNO says it to me quite a lot, usually out of the blue and at random.  We've talked about it, and in general it means either, "I'm anxious or concerned about something completely unrelated to our relationship, and I'm saying this because I don't want to think about that right now," or it's just the primate call-and-response, "I'm here.  Are you there?"

It can be annoying sometimes, sure, but since I know it's not stemming from guilt or emotional blackmail, I'm ok with it.

As an added bonus, she throws some variations in: "I love your butt" is a common one, as well as the occasional, "I HAVE A VAGINA!" 



Lately, for no apparent reason, it's "because robots!"

I think the bolded might be exactly it.

Also, the rest is totally cute. HAW HAW you and your wife are cute!

[LMNO]

Next time he says "I love you", you should look at him and shout, "I HAVE A VAGINA!"

Works.  Every.  Time.

[Eater of Clowns]

I have another solution.  It doesn't address the behavior so much as your outlook toward it.  It can even be used in conjunction with LMNO's excellent advice.

Think of it this way.  Poison, as we all know, is in the dosage.  Now, because of his undying affection for you, and with each little act of love you give him, the level of love within him increases.  That level increases so steadily, in fact, that without ventilation it could approach catastrophic.  This is not only dangerous for him but also for people in a five mile radius as well as most plant and animal life.  Mr. Squid, being an intelligent man, has developed a system where he can ease the pressure of love inside of him regularly, allowing it to return to sustainable levels.

Basically, it's love farts.

[Eater of Clowns]

Little love farts that you have to smell.

[LMNO]

I changed my mind.




Next time he says "I love you," look at him and shout, "LOVE FARTS!"

[Elder Iptuous]

primate call and response is a good insight, LMNO.
