How long before "I love you"?
What are the earliest and latest times into a relationship that one should/could say "I love you"?
How long could you tolerate a relationship before your partner uttered these words? Or how long could you stick with a partner without being able to utter them yourself? Or how soon into a relationship would you dare say it?
Once I was in a cohabiting relationship for over a year before I said it. I didn't say it till then cos I wouldn't have meant it. It caused a lot of trauma. On the other hand, in another relationship (with the woman who is now my wife) I thought "I love you" almost from the very start but held off saying it for a couple of months for fear of scaring her off. She was pretty much the same although I think we both knew how we felt from the beginning.
