I LOVE YOU MEANS...
I want to take care of you
I will provide shelter for you if I can
I will help you with any children we have
I will protect you from harm
I will hug you better when you feel badly
I will share any income I have with you
I will respect you at all times
I will not belittle you in front of others
I will make every day with you a special day
I’ll make sure you’re never cold or lonely
I will help you realize your ambitions
I will give you credit for all that you do
I feel complete with you nearby
I will think of you often when you’re away
I will renew and reaffirm my love each day
I can overlook your human shortcomings
We will do our best together
What can we do to solve this problem?
What you feel affects me greatly
I will help you accomplish your dreams
I am completely vulnerable to you
I LOVE YOU DOES NOT MEAN...
I want you to take care of me
I want to kiss you
I want to go to bed with you
I want you to do housework for me
I want you to share your money with me
I wish to have you around to pick on
I want you to wait on me on all holidays
You go to work; I’ll take care of the house
I’ll go party - you take care of the home
Please pay the bills
Give me sex whenever I want it
I’ll stay with you until I feel like leaving
I cannot live without you
You cannot go anywhere without me
I will love you more at times
I will make you into a better person
Your life will be a bed of roses
We will live happily ever after
I want your help with my goals
Please act predictably at all times
Enjoy everything I want to do
