C'mon people, doesn't anyone else have anything to offer? I am not a kid, but in my 40's, he is too. We both have grown children. You would think I would have more insight and would if it pertained to someone else. Personally, yes, I think he loves me. We have been together for 17 months. We get along great, share interests, and the sex is very good. Lots of passion and caring. The problem is, actually it just may be my problem....I need to hear the words. Am I wrong? I confronted him about this just the other night 1-17-08. He asked if I wanted words, well, yes I do, but more importantly, I want whatever is in the heart. I've never met a guy that wouldn't say it. What you you think? Thanks.
