I noticed DH has started telling them when we leave from a visit and occasionally on the phone. i feel like i've only ever heard him say it this last year maybe.now y'all got me thinking and wondering if he feels awkward saying it! or if he waited til it didn't feel awkward??

    My mom is very open with her feelings and DH will tell her he loves her when she says it to him. I don't think he and my dad are on that level - they prefer to "hug it out". :)

    Nope.  Other than my sisters, he's met my dad and grandparents once though and never talked on the phone, so it's not like they would have built a strong relationship anyways.

    Not really.  He tells my sister if she's visiting us, in a side hug kind of way if she's upset. . . like "you know we love you (sister)..", but that's about it.
    Neither of us really say it to each other's parents.

    nope. he said he'd reciprocate (to be polite) but would feel awkward initiating.

    He does say I love you to my mom (and sometimes calls her Mom, but not always).  We honestly don't see my dad all that much because he works very odd hours, but Dad and DH don't say I love you (unless they are both intoxicated, lol).

    Mine does but only if my family members say it first.  My family is very open with saying I love you because we've been through alot and we always want others to know how we feel.  I think, if you feel it say it, if you don't - don't.

    eh, kinda.  He says it if we are leaving or they say it first but that is about it.

    Ha, my family doesn't really say I love you much anyway.  So that would be odd if DH told them.  My Dad's the only one who even says I love you to me on the phone.  And he only says it to me and my sister :)
