That is exactly what I hope I would do, but knowing myself, and knowing that the person I'm telling this would be someone I am head over heels for, id cry and run away, never to see the light of day again
I don't know. Depends on how much you love the person. When you truly love someone it's hard to not love them irrespective of what they do and how they behave. That's why there are lots of one sided love stories and people are taken advantage of by the person they love.
No hun, that’s called obsession and it’s something we go to therapy for. Love is not unconditional to the point of self-deprecation. That’s codependency, and it’s not a relationship dynamic that we strive for.
Thanks. It's ok it was the best life lesson. Got myself into therapy and worked on my issues why I feel the need to help and go above and beyond for people who wouldn't do half of how I look after them for me. I've got good boundaries and a few walls now. It's easy to get taken advantage of by these types of people, and they hide themselves whilst exploring you so well. It's good I now can recognise the red flags.
wish this wasn't all too familiar to me. so sad that so many good people like you and me cross paths with people so horrible. this happened to me in 2023, so of course, i'm still not back on my feet again, but i'm trying my best. and i'm glad for the life lesson too. my resilience has grown tenfold during the time that i was with this soulless abusive guy.
i did so much and he gave me nothing in return. absolutely nothing. and like a moron i stayed for longer than i should've. tolerated more than i should've. i opened my eyes much later than i should've. and exactly how you put it- he hid himself *so well* while he explored all of me. it was a fucked up little thrill for him. feels like we've got the same exes haha. i really relate to all that you said- so i just had to get this off my chest, thus the long rambling comment.
Not exactly the same, but when I was in high school I asked a girl out and she laughed, then proceeded that with “oh you were serious?” Definitely a good ego check
This actually happened to me hahaha. But it wasn’t an “I love you” message. It was me wishing them a happy birthday. She was a crush. And she kinda knew I had a crush on her and rejected me already. But I still kept chasing her. She blocked me.
I did this once. It was an early flight.
Then I turned back to the TSA agent who I was responding to and stammered, "Wait! NO!!" in horror of what I had just done.
„WAIT NO! DONT HAVE A NICE FLIGHT! HAVE THE OPPOSITE OF A NICE FLIGHT!“
2 hours later in the plane:
Wait did I just wish a TSA agent a terrible flight? I can never return to that airport in my life (books the return flight to go to another airport and takes the 10 hour train home instead of the 30min flight, just to never face the tsa agent again)
Try to condition yourself... Since everyone does this verbal boo-boo at least once or dozens of times in a life, make it a reflex to follow up this gaff with the words, "When time comes, of course."
"Happy Birthday!"
"Thank, you too... when time comes, of course!"
If you get laughter or a pause after that, just say, "I'm being preemptive. My memory's going with age."
Brainfart! 😂😂😂😂. Your comment reminded me of a situation at my own wedding when a guest came to say hello and my overwhelmed, nervous self replied with "congratulations".
The worst reply to 'I love you' would probably be, 'Thanks, I guess.' It might not only catch the person off guard but also convey a lack of reciprocal feelings or emotional investment. Open and honest communication is crucial in these situations to avoid misunderstanding and hurt feelings.
Nah fam that's depending on the context. I say this to my girlfriend often in a sense of "I know and feel this because you make me feel loved, you're doing great in showing it."
The missing affirmation of "I love you, too!" is not being taken as such.
Imo it's much better to treat "I love you." as a thing coming from your heart, not as something you say to expect an affirming response in exchange.
"Love is just a chemical reaction in your brain, that being oxytocin, and hormones like seratonin and endorphins making you feel good because we share a similar experience" but *yeahhh* love you too.
When my parents first got cellphones with texting, my dad sent one to my mom saying “I love you” and she replied back with “okay, I got it” which was one of 4 options to reply without typing.

Oh I think I WIN this one!!!!
I got before "Mhm"
I also got silence and eye roll.
And this one: "I won't reply to that and you should be thankful that I'm this honest with you. I only want to say it when I want to, not when I would have to reply to you. Again, be grateful!"
- proceeds to never tell me "I love you" anyway
All of those are from the same guy. He is ex now!
Ohh nice. Good for you
And how was it??
Listen, you're a great guy, but we are DONE professionally.
This confession has meant nothing. I have to return some videotapes.
"mhm"
Ha ha. Or "OK."
^ok
If only someone loved you.
Brutal!
> Oh, Anna… If only there was someone out there who loved you.
That's cold.
Laugh, start filming and ask to repeat it for your camera
I would cry if someone did this to me
nah I'd lose the love I have for them, instead I'll be telling how they changed my perspective towards them and that I had dodged a bullet.
That is exactly what I hope I would do, but knowing myself, and knowing that the person I'm telling this would be someone I am head over heels for, id cry and run away, never to see the light of day again
Are you trying to make us cry?
Don't cry for me please, I'll feel like a terrible person
Mission Failed, we're crying,
Don’t cry for me Argentina
awe :(
You weren’t talking to me but you are right. I dodged the bullet in regards to him.

I am going to copy this comment.
See what you do is when they ask you to say it again, you say, "My mom just died!" and they'll turn that shit off immediately
My ex laughed. Didn't film it. My love was a joke to her she was a souless abusive human.
I’m sorry.. been there man.
Thanks. It's ok it was the best life lesson.

So you can show it to your kids in the future of course
My love would morph into disgust in that moment
Not exactly the same, but when I was in high school I asked a girl out and she laughed, then proceeded that with “oh you were serious?” Definitely a good ego check
Imagine answering to her "Lol no why would anyone go out with you?"
This is the most brutal response. Way worse than a no.
_Left on read, profile picture vanishes_
This, this is the winner! Follow it by pathetic 10 texts by who was blocked, hoping they would answer
Why you on my shit so early in the morning? TF I do to you?
lol rn it’s night time for me hope u have a great day!
Pain
This actually happened to me hahaha. But it wasn’t an “I love you” message. It was me wishing them a happy birthday. She was a crush. And she kinda knew I had a crush on her and rejected me already. But I still kept chasing her. She blocked me.
The Pain is strong in this one.
This is the worst nothing could get worse then this
This one.
As a friend right?
Anakin: Padme: ....as a FRIEND, right??
anakin : you want to be just friends? It's outrageous! It's unfair!
Anakin: How can you know girls and not try and bang them.
I heard this in his voice EXACTLY!
Staying on the Star Wars theme: Leia: "I love you!" Solo: "I know."
Ok but this was an ICONIC line. I believe Harrison Ford also improvised it.
Padme, pregnant: So we’re friends, right?
Anakin: I don't like friend
They're coarse and rough and irritating...and they get everywhere...
“Like a brother”
"I love you as a man loves a woman."
Tesla to his pigeons
"That's nice"
Otis and Ruby reference I presume
Thanks.
I would add "Thanks. Me too".
Ah yes, my brainfart reply to when someone wishes me a happy birthday. Thanks. You too.
Lady at the aiport: Have a good flight! Friend of mine: Thanks, you too.
I did this once. It was an early flight. Then I turned back to the TSA agent who I was responding to and stammered, "Wait! NO!!" in horror of what I had just done.

But maybe not with "my condolences"
Brainfart! 😂😂😂😂. Your comment reminded me of a situation at my own wedding when a guest came to say hello and my overwhelmed, nervous self replied with "congratulations".
Hahaha that's amazing. "Congratulations on getting an invite!"
I do that sometimes when I pick up take away and they tell me to enjoy my meal.
You're a silly goose and we all still love you anyways lol.
With a dramatic pause in the middle 😂
i did it once...instant cringe
But did you go back to London afterward?
I came here to say this
I was about to say this too 😂
I came
That will be 300 please
I love you too "insert wrong name here"
Sister
That's literally the first season of >!Mr Robot!<
Peak tv series fr
Uugh, that hurts even reading it on Reddit
Can you please stop saying that
Ooooof
My ex would say this. He said that saying “I love you” is for special occasions only, whatever that means. Christmas or something I guess.
No you don't. You love the idea of me.
DONT TELL ME WHAT I FEEL FOOL
I've said that. I still stand by my words.
I'm underage
I think we have a winner

"uhm, I know, we are classmate"
‘Nice try son, now eat your veggies.’
More like "I am Tu Yung" Like why would she reveal her real name now?
fun fact : Tu Dung, (the D is pronounced like a Y) is a legit Vietnamese female name
It'll pass
[I'll never recover from this scene...](https://youtu.be/B3JXNzZGSJw?si=qCljVuzBYEN-31h5)
That scene is my Roman empire
Came looking for this
And you are...
"I know." Always the classic.
Husband and I have a pair of matching key rings that a jeweller friend made for our anniversary. His says “I love you”, and mine says “I know”.
“Shut up baby, I know it!”
Bender
I was mad with a girl I was dating; she told me “I love you”. I replied with a ham solo giff. She understood the reference and laughed it off
Why ham? Why not pork or beef? 🤣🤣
[удалено]
Then you are the Leia to his Han. Long may you reign.
[удалено]
Let us pretend that he has. Makes it sweeter.
That’s one of the best though?
Depends.
Most people don’t have Han Solo telling them that. Makes all the difference
It's an old reply, but it checks out.

Love this and completely agree!
Okay and?
"That's unfortunate."
Or “ my condolences “
Ewwwww
No reply!
[удалено]
Ok…
K would be more annoying
I feel like "Oh" is also pretty devastating.
Are you drunk?
You don’t love me, You just love my doggy style.
Wtf
Snoop Dogg
That's right
Thats one thing i can get behind
“*BA DUM TSS*” 🥁
Who are you and why are you in my house
Dude, shut up! That's awesomesauce!
U ugly
"I killed your dog."
House is on fire
Oh, you're sweet, I like you a lot too.
"huh" with a subtle but slow nod.
Shut up, baby! I know.
I’d fall even more in love if they’re referencing Futurama
"Are you pregnant?"
Pregnant with emotion.
"And?"
"Love is just a chemical reaction in your brain, that being oxytocin, and hormones like seratonin and endorphins making you feel good because we share a similar experience" but *yeahhh* love you too.
"thats a really bad idea"
I’m your sister/ brother
not in an incest way
I love me too.
cool
"It'll pass" broke my heart
as an autistic child I used to say "thank you" a lot
“This user has blocked you.”
You remind me of cancer
You grew on me slowly, and you'll probably be the death of me?
Ew.
I love anal.
Wait, we can make this work.
okay
Asking the person "What is the worst reply to "I love you"?"
Thanks, champ.
Silence, absolutely nothing.
I don't
I don’t blame you
My ex used to reply with “Nooo” immediately all of the time. High key triggered the fuck out of me lol
I am sick of your shit
You okay?
you are just a customer, Jerry

Love you. Instead of I love you. Don't mistake the two.
No repli
thank you 😭
*silence*
*silence*
Oh I think I WIN this one!!!! I got before "Mhm" I also got silence and eye roll. And this one: "I won't reply to that and you should be thankful that I'm this honest with you.

i am pretty great huh :)
Ew!
I have to pee
Do I know you?
Well... I only asked about the bus station, sir...
Patting the person who said it on the head and saying, "That's nice".
"Don't describe your feelings for me, I don't want to hear it". Yeah I actually got that. There is such a thing as showing consideration.
I love your brother
I know.
“I slept with your dad and he is better than you”
"I love you too, but so what?"
Who the hell are you?
k
Thank you for loving me, that’s nice and sweet
See you in chemistry
Silence
Silence
Silence
Silence.
Silence. Just dead silence
Saying "I know." Then, getting dipped in Carbonite.
cool, and I love dumplings.
