I feel that he does love me but want to hear it but also dont want to say it first as he might say it just because I did. When is normal to expect to hear this? And should I do anything about it?

 Lots of people have trouble expressing their emotions...I cannot remember the last time I told my husband I loved him but I do so much for him that I hope it shows that way. Ultimately I love you are just three words - people often say them and don't mean them; they are throw away words used to manipulate people into reciprocating and saying it back so everyone is happy. Don't pressure him as he sounds nice, you clearly have a loving relationship and he shows you love by actions not words.

Not that their words mean less, but for me, I rather express myself through what I do for her, then say it. I think it's a mushiness factor... 8]

 Well maybe he is having the same thoughts as you... ie he doesnt want to say it until you have!
Don't forget a lot of men feel they have to be manly and not discuss their feelings, he may be too embarrassed to break the ice first. I suggest you bite the bullet and go first... after all one of you has to!
