I have done a lot of reflection on this (along with the lack of physical affection from her for a while) I have learned to be patient only by examining why I was impatient in the first place. So I do see the value. The short explanation is that when I don't hear it back I get afraid or threatened. When that happens, my reaction is to get angry.
I know all this. However something about hose 3 little words is such a flash point with me. Twice this has happened. I rather not risk it right now. I can show her how I love over and she can do the same for me.
It doesn't mean I will never say it.
Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. --Jean Jacques Rousseau.
