can't say I love you

    I've been with my partner six months, they said I love you after three months (on my birthday, which was very romantic!) but even though I know I love them I just can't get the words out. I thought it would be easy to say when you met the right one but I've never said it to anybody, even though I'm 28. I think my last relationships were such a disaster that I've built up some kind of wall and now I need to break it down because I know my partner wants to hear it and I want to say it.
    What can I do about this? Please help.

    From what you are saying, I think you are putting too much emphasis on just those 3 words. Its more important to show your love rather than say it every 5 minutes. Alot of people say it without meaning it. Concentrate on proving you love with your actions and im sure the ability to say "I love you" will come naturally.

    I agree completely. I had this exact thing happen to me when I was seeing my ex-boyfriend. After about four months, he said "I love you", and I just couldnt reply. There is no better way of knowing that youre not ready to say it than when the words just wont come out! About six months later, I was ready to say it, and did so. I would never rush into saying it, you have to mean it.
