I don't know if this is weird, strange, problematic or w/e but me and my gf rarely talk about our feelings towards one another, we don't really need to, usually we know we love each other by the way we we look into each others eyes or when we cuddle and kiss. My question now is; will our relationship last if we refrain from talking about our feelings? For me it's hard to talk about my deepest feelings, always has been, it's just the way I am, my gf is just the same. When we got togheter there was no "I love you" or anything we just looked in each others eyes and kissed. We do however send "I love you's" and small sweet texts in text messages. Maybe I'm overthinking this, wouldn't be the first time, I'd just like someone else's opinion on this.

Contrary to Jmtmj's advice... Love is not enough. It's fine to express your love with actions, but what if he NEVER says "I Love You"... that's a feeling...

Also, what happens when things get hard? If he's mad, should he ACT that out? Sacred? Sad.... you want him crying rather than sharing his pain with you.

Living with someone who doesn't share their emotions is going to keep you guessing all the time. You're going to constantly be wondering "Is he made at me?"... "what's wrong with him?".

You two need to learn to share your souls... not just your naughty bits!

Jmtmj agony auntYou're both expressing your love through your actions instead of through your words... in my opinion you have as much chance of surviving as any relationship- if not more..

Sounds refreshingly simple to me :)

Best of luck
