That’s great, @K! I’m glad you had an awesome wedding.

My boyfriend first told me he loved me about 5 months in, which would’ve been about a month or so after we discussed exclusivity. He was drunk the first time and it was via text. I didn’t say it back for a bit. He said it again down the road, I can no longer remember when, and told me I didn’t need to respond or say it back if I wasn’t ready. I didn’t say it back that time, either. If you go back in this thread, I mentioned a couple times feeling it but not feeling ready to SAY it. I think I said it back maybe 7-8 months in? In all honestly I probably mentioned when I finally said it back in this thread, so I could probably find out… but I don’t feel compelled to do so.

I told one ex around the 9 month mark and another one around the 2-3 month mark, we’d been friends for a awhile first, I don’t think I would’ve gotten there as quickly otherwise. So, it’s varied for me. If it matters, I don’t come from an “I love you” kinda family.

If you’ve felt it for awhile, just say it!
