However, for most of our relationship I've felt like I love him more than he loves me. I told him this and he said that I was worrying over nothing. I know he isn't good at expressing his emotions, unless he's pushed.He's also stopped randomly saying 'i love you.' He is still affectionate and loving towards me and if I tell him I love him he says it back.At this stage in our relationship I'd really like to know where we're headed. I'd love to settle down with him but I can't tell if that's what he wants, I don't know how to ask without scaring him. I was engaged in my previous relationship and my expartner was very open, and I always knew exactly where we were at. Am I expecting too much?I know he does love me, but I just feel so insecure and like he might leave me. Is this normal? Is it always the way that one partner loves the other more?

Don't you think being open and being easily able to communicate is important in a relationship heading down the marriage track?? You need to sit him down and have a chat about this - the style of communication and what he wants. Better to know sooner than later.
