He's intelligent, fun, tender and dedicates all his time to me. Things go very well - we travel a lot, we know each other's family and we meet every day, because we live practically on the same street. Sex is great, we have fun and we're each other's best friends.But...he never said "I love you". I don't know if there's a cultural problem here or if he has a different conception of love than what I have, but when I look at him, I can only see love. He does everything for me. But he says he can't say "I love you" because he does have huge feelings for me, but not love.I wanted to break up, because I feel humiliated - help me: how important words are?

reader, anonymous, writes (11 January 2008): I agree with Jamer70's response also regarding love been thrown around loosely!
I'm with my guy for 2 years now and he is also not the best at expressing his feelings towards me either!! Some times when he is drunk he will say how he feels but other than that he doesn't say much about how he feels aobut me!
But I know he does cares & loves me and would go to the ends of the earth for me! Its not the words that are important but how he cares, treats and respects me that are important to me anyway.
Actions mean more than words...

 well would you want him to say it and not mean it fully. He does love you but for some people it takes a while to say that they truly love you. As in todays world the word love is thrown around loosely and over used, and to some has lost all meaning. Give it time for him to say he loves you, i bet he does now but needs time to say it.
What i said was pretty riddled but i hope you understand it
