Not getting "I love you" unless I say it first. Should I be worried?

Question

My love rarely says the L word first unless I say it first. We've been married for 2 years. It worries me... Am I being childish for worrying about it?

Answer

Idk but my first impression is that maybe he just isn’t very open with his emotions? Does he usually have a hard time saying stuff like that? 
Talk to him about it. Tell him that you sometimes just like to hear him say it. I’m sure if he knew how you felt he’d work to say it more often 😊

Answer

it honesty might be a phase it happenes my so and I have been together for 6 years total married almost 2 years now and I went though a phase of not saying it first. I did still love him just as much as always but it just stopped crossing my mind so I didn't think about saying it until he said it to me. He was worried too at first and talked to me about it, I understood and it took some time to fix since it became a habit but now we both take turns saying it first lol (not in such a formatted way ad it sounds). a few years ago he was the one not saying it first but I didn't talk to him about it so it went on for longer than it had to but eventually he noticed it and corrected it I was extremely worried (thinking all sorts of crazy things). it's completely understandable for you to be worried I think anyone would be just talk to him about it and remember it might not change overnight, it possibly is a habit of not having to think about saying it but it should eventually change. I think you should be worried if he was not saying it at all even after you said it

Answer

My friend is a counsellor and says it sounds like he’s not “in love” and is questioning the relationship/marriage
