Is it love ?

Madisson
My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 2 years now and have been living together the entire time (he was my room mate then it got serious😉). I've seen him go through quite a few bad breakups before we got together like one shortly after his dad passed from cancer. His at the time girlfriend left him a week after his dad passed and got married 2 days later. My dilemma is he isn't the most affectionate. In 2 years he has yet to even use the word love. Ive given him my all and then some. I know hes scared but.. We've been through so much and I know I love him. I guess my question is should I go ahead and tell him how I truly feel or wait for him to be comfortable enough to tell me? And if I should how should I go about it? I told him once in my sleep and he got up and ran out of the room. He didn't tell me why he ran till a few days later. So I told him I was dreaming and didn't know what I was saying and apologized. He told me once that he doesn't want to say it because after he does all his relationships end in a couple weeks. I told him if I've been with him through this much I'm not gonna leave unless he cheats or something like that.. I don't want to ruin anything but I desperately want to tell him.
