I think that if an ILY did come out of my mouth, it would be as an explanation of why I am still standing, why I haven't walked away yet. I wouldn't expect a response to it. Not an emotional plea. (now - it has not always been this way, only lately. Prior to my 3rd or 4th kick in the gut, I was still throwing ILY around like it would make some kind of statement, and make a difference)

If she were to give me an ILY, it seems to be to get a reaction from me, I have not been reciprocating. In the past it was a common thing to say every day (prior to BD).

I believe it is not necessary to say at this time - she knows but just does not care. I do not believe just those word will change anything (that would have been an easy fix then - right? There's the magic bullet)
