I Love You, Is It Necessary?

Hello Aunty Eya and everyone on wives connection blog. Thank you all for all the advice you give, even when the posts are not from me, I benefit a lot from the advice. My little confusion is in the area of love. Please I want to know what is in a man’s mind, concerning vocalizing their love, how they reason when it comes to love. 

I am worried about my husband and myself. We have no issue, just normal challenges like every relationship and at the end of the day we pull through. I jokingly try to make him know
that he doesn’t say he loves me but he dismisses it like it’s not important. We are fine and learning too.

However, in all our 3 years together, I can’t remember him saying ” I love you” to me” Does it mean he doesn’t love me? If he does, won’t it be flowing freely from his mouth? Aunty Eya please help me post, it has been bothering me. I hate to think that my husband doesn’t love me.

  1. Not really necessary to me. It's what's in the heart that matters. Afterall, anyone can say a fake I love you.

  2. Your hubby is a typical African man – finds it difficult to say ‘I LOVE YOU’. African men believe it is better to show it than say it – how wrong we are! The two should be mutually inclusive.
    We need help and the key is in your hands, ladies. You can help by saying it to him many times and have him reciprocate by saying it back. The more we practices – the better we get; and that way we would be able to say it to our kids, esp. daughters so that no man confuses them when they are grown without really meaning it.

  8. how wont it be dry when she is busy ass likin ordinary commenters. FYI anty eya is blog owner while other people re the ones calling the shots. she knows what i mean and the people know themselves. then she is busy deleting comments. somebody yabs a posters english and she is busy deleting it. she has unconsciously turned the blog to the taste of a few . a beg anty eya its better you have a mind of your own

  9. I agree. Deleting comments reduces d number of comments and there4 traffic. Letting ordinary faceless commenters decide how u shud run your blog is very laughable. These ppl influence you and if you keep listening to them, you blog will fade away. A word is enough for the wise.

  10. Saying I love you is necessary in my opinion, well to a certain extent. Not hearing it at all can sometimes make your partner wonder, even if your actions say so. Nigerian men have this bad habit of not saying I love u. I relate it to Ego!! There is nothing wrong with telling someone u love how much u do. However poster, its not a do or die thing really…u can survice without…or try saying it first and hear if he reciprocates

  17. ur case is like d coffin maker who complains biz is bad.

    educative posts attract few comments, but i-beat-my-husband-posts would attract epistle comments & cat fights.
    aunty-eya, shop around & copy & paste stories here, so as not to lose your readers.

  20. Hey, no there's nothing wrong with your husband and I assume he loves you dearly.I read a book called 'Love Languages' and it mentioned the different ways in which people show love. I bet he doesnt feel he needs to say it maybe there are other ways he shows his love. you just need to appreciate those other means and you can keep telling him you love him.

  21. African men are wired in another dimension; most don't say I LOVE YOU but show it in their attitude, looks and actions.

    Does he say "I love you" in his attitude towards you? In the way he speaks and looks at you? Is he proud of you in the midst of families and friends? If yes, dear Mrs, coolu temper.

    But if you STILL want him to say it then the onus is on you. First by saying it to him and if you have started already, please intensify your effort. Remember the patient dog eats the fattest bone. Call, sms, email, send notes with "I LOVE YOU" ending it.

    If you want something, you've got to work to get it. I wish you well!

  24. Some,especially African men,find it difficult expressing love in words but there are other ways to express love. You can say "You mean a great deal to me", "I am a better person because of you", You inspire me","You are amazing" …
