It may seem like a silly thing at first. But is it possible to say ‘I love you’ too many times to the person you love? The answer to that question rests on why you are repeating those three little words, not the words themselves.
The funny thing is that many people may not think they are saying it often enough. This is particularly true of their partners, who may not have heard those words uttered by you in years. So, you may believe that saying ‘I love you’ too often is not so bad. And perhaps it is not, but there may be something else going on that is causing you to repeat yourself when it is not necessary.
Some simple questions will let you know if saying ‘I love you’ too many times is possible. Or, to put it more bluntly, whether something else is happening that is causing you to say those three little words repeatedly.
Do You Mean It?
That may seem like a silly question, but it gets to the root of why you may be saying ‘I love you’ so many times. The question is not whether you are genuinely in love so much but whether something else is causing you to say those words.
– Do you feel like you and your partner are drifting apart?
– Is there someone else you have been thinking of lately?
– Do you see something in your relationship that is lacking?
Understanding why you are saying ‘I love you’ will at least bring some peace of mind if it becomes a concern. If you mean it, your partner will know how you feel. But is there something else going on?
Are You Trying to Cover Something Else?
The most obvious reason is that you question your feelings by repeating, ‘I love you.’ This does not mean that something explosive is happening. It may be that with your relationship changing as you age, have kids, and have other responsibilities, you may seem a thousand miles away from the young love the two of you shared.
But if something else is going on, you will need to face it and be honest about it. Try to work out your feelings and address the issue directly if possible.
Why Do You Feel Compelled to Say ‘I Love You?’
If your partner asks why you say that phrase so often, you need to cut down on saying that phrase. Whether something else is going on, it does little good to express something in a way that does not get the desired results.
The bottom line is that for many couples saying ‘I love you’ does not happen often enough. But expressing it too often may be as simple as not knowing what else to say in expressing your feelings to cover a more significant issue you are putting off. So be honest with yourself first, then talk with your partner if they feel something is amiss.
