What would you do if your significant other never says "I love you" and claim they don't like using the "L" word but they care for you and would take a bullet for you?

What I would do depends upon if I find it necessary for my personal happiness to hear the L word. If I didn't have a burning need for the words and could tell by their actions that they loved me and they just have a personal difficulty with saying the words, I'd let it go. If I did have a need to hear the words I would tell them that while I appreciate them taking a bullet for me, I would rather they do the "easier" feat of saying three little words. Love is about giving the other person what they need as well as accepting what your partner is capable of giving. A compromise has to be reached that both people can live with.

Be careful

It's unlikely that they will ever be put in the position of literally having to take a bullet for me. So that wouldn't mean a whole lot. I'd probably believe while they truly may care for me, they also weren't in love with me. And that wouldn't be enough for me to want to stay.

I would just feel lucky to have someone to say they would take a bullet for me. That right there shows me they care.

Fortunately she does say she loves me. I don't how I would handle it if she didn't.

I'd say, I really hate don't like using the "B" word but I'll do it this time "Bye" and make it quick or you may take that bullet sooner than you think.

You'd take a bullet for me? You man, you! Tell me you love me, or I'll shoot. My husband understands this logic :) +5

That'd be strange for me. I've never been with a guy who hasn't told me he loves me. I don't see the point in being with someone who doesn't love me and/or doesn't ever see himself loving me. We might as well be friends with benefits in that case.

I think he is being a little selfish. If he has a hang up about expressing words of affection, then what is the d@mn point of being in a relationship? So he doesn't like the L word? Maybe you don't like being in a relationship with a man who won't give you reassurance that you're loved (and you should tell him so). You need more than just grandiose statements about what he'd do in a hypothetical situation that is very unlikely to happen.

No L, then definitely wouldnt take your bullet.

Drop them because "taking a bullet" would most likely mean "Taking a bullet and putting it in the chamber"...
