You, my dear, are extremely needy and insecure. This is not a big deal. Forget it and stop trying to get people to say "I love you" when maybe they just like you. And that is ok. Grow up and get a good hobby!

That's being very simple and inmature - If you say "I love you" to a person to hear them tell you the same, then you really should look at yourself. Do you think they hate you or not like you? I don't think so - being a parent I have experienced the unconditional love I have for my son and daughter. I respect their decision as to who they love. I accept and love who makes my son and daughter love. I sometimes forget to tell my soon to be daughter in law I love her - when that happens trust me it's not done on purpose. It's not for you to retaliate and not say "I love you" but to understand and keep doing what you do. You know what my daughter in law did when I forgot to say I love you? She called me back 3 seconds later and said I love you....

I wouldn't let the facts that they didn't say it upset you hun. In laws , Like children, have moods . If you don;t make such an issue out of it then they will go back to saying it. Some times actions show love more then words.

You are way way too sensitive. Get over it. If you only tell them you love them so they will say it back to you that is being self centered and manipulative. You don't tell people you love them so they will say it back!!! You say it because you feel that way whether they love you or not! Geez. Get a grip. Much more serious things to deal with in life than whether people tell you they love you or not on the phone.

Well..You did not marry his PARENTS.I know you want a good relationship with them. And I would not recommend keeping a confrontation going.However..You should be good to their son and let the rest fall into place.It may be that they need to gain some respect for you.You can accomplish that by being a great wife to their son.I would not tell them that you love them anymore right now.Just be respectful towards them and let them know that you LOVE their son.They will come around when they see you are being good to HIM. I hope this helps.Take Care.

You need to pick and choose battles with family and this one is not worth it. First of all some people do not feel comfortable verbalizing it, do not push. If you say it and do not get a response keep doing it if they die you will be the one that remembers telling them you loved them. I can't stand mine and would not tell them that! But I do not pick fights either.

They seem to not want to say "i love you". This doesn't mean that they don't care for you. Let it go and stop telling them. Do you really want to force someone to tell you "i love you?" Try saying "good night, take care" when ending a telephone conversation. End conversations with YOUR parents with an "i love you".

This is all very silly. I hate my in laws and don't expect the situation to be any better. You should be glad you have in laws you can get along with. Forget about that "I love you, too" crapola!

Aliens kidnapped your real parents and they are being held captive on the mother ship. Contact the authorities at once because these mutations are not your parents.....

sounds like your the one with issues. You married the son, not mom and dad. Would you like for them to tuck you in at bedtime too. Get over it.
