S/O my own post. "I love you" vs The honeymoon phase.
Good Morning my SO peeps! I hope everyone had a great evening.
Do you think that saying "I love you" is correlated with or independent of the honeymoon phase? Why? Why not?
Mr. Kyk and I have not said "I love you" to one another. I am just curious what your opinions are in regards to the topic.

They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
Re: S/O my own post. "I love you" vs The honeymoon phase.
That's a good question. I think they are independent of one another. Honeymoon phase or not, when you love someone, you just know. Maybe I have a weird take on things but IMO, before saying I love you to someone, I like to think of why and if I will still want to say it for a long, LONG time after that no matter what gets thrown in the way.
That being said, I've been wrong once or twice but haven't we all?
Hmm... I even tell my friends I love them... and that is totally different than seriously saying to a S/O "I Love You".
I guess it depends if I was friends with the s/o before dating or not. And hopefully can recognized the differences between friends love you and s/o love you.
I knew I loved BF as a friend before we started dating, and really, I think the two kinds of love are more similar than we think (or at least are related). Love is a deep, profound caring about someone and wanting the best for him/her--that's not all that different when you're talking about good friends or a SO. To me, it's when you add in lust or a sexual desire to that love--that's what makes it different for an SO vs. friends.
