Some people do not like to use those words. Personally, I have never said it out loud to anyone except family members. This does not mean that I don't love my man dearly and with all of my heart because I do. Some people bring emotional baggage and have trouble lying their feelings out on the line without a fear of being hurt.
Your partner may be expressing their feelings in other ways than what is more or less a meaningless phrase. Realistically, it is not the words that matter but the actions behind the words. If your partner said "I love you" all the time then turned around and cheated on you, was verbally and emotionally abusive, would you truly feel as though they loved you? However, if your partner treats you with passion and love and respect and tenderness, do hearing those words really matter?
Your partner may even have a code phrase that they use when they want to tell you that they love you but can't say those exact words.

It can mean a couple of things. It means they do not share the same feelings or they have troubles expressing there feelings.
Really ask them why they never say it back maybe they will be honest and tell you. Really though if this is like a new relationship maybe this person doesn't feel like it is the right time to say it not connected in the relationship at that level yet.

They are secretly involved in covert CIA operations. They also could be zombies.
I would say, actions speak louder than words and some people are not as sensitive to the emotional requirements that others, like yourself, have. They just don't see the need to constantly say "I love you" when they know that they do.
Make a deal with your partner. Tell them how much it means to you to hear it. And have them find one way everyday to try and say it differently. Maybe it will work if not, shoot the zombie in the head!

Scott,
This will be a different way in answering your question, but here it is. What would you do if she said she loved you every time your eyes met? After a while you would doubt if the phrase would have meant anything wouldn't you? Well, a lot of people have a difficulty in saying this to someone who means a lot to them. It's not easy to reflect their true emotions, and in my opinion doesn't mean a thing. (I will give you a true example: I heard a woman was speaking to her ex-husband, and at the conclusion of their conversation her ex said to her, " I Love You".) I could not believe my ears. It was such a habit they just said it as a matter of fact. (Not a friendly divorce). This showed me that it is not necessary to say it, as long as you do, and it shows in your relationship. I hope this answers your question. Good Luck, Butchrgt

Words are words, they may or may not mean anything. Some people use the words "I love you" all the time but don't really mean it. While others show it through their actions. Which one do you prefer? The one who plays with our coveted phrase loosely or the one who would rather show you that they really love you? You know what, my hubby haven't said " I love you" to me yet and we've been together for 15 years. I know it's not sort of fair of him but he's just not big on words but I know and truly feel that he really loves me. And that is enough for me.

It doesn't mean a damned thing. I know people who say "I love you" all the time and it is actually kind of disgusting because they treat each other so badly. I also know people who say it all the time and they're nice to each other. And I know people who never say it who are nice to each other and they don't need to say it. So it means nothing no matter how you look at it. What matters is how a person treats you.

It means your partner doesn't say "I love you".

Could mean they don't love you, or it could mean that they have severe issues with expressing their feelings.
I'm that way, after a very ugly marriage, I haven't been able to express my love to my guy....completely scared to do so. I love him, though I don't know that I'm capable of every giving myself like I did before. It took me along time to regain a sense of self and love for myself, I'm not so willing to give that to another person anymore...I cherish it too much.

some may show it in the way they treat you or actions.... some people depending on their raising/religion/bring-up may not feel the need to if they show it in other ways.... try to think about what that person does for instead of what they do not.

Not everyone is comfortable saying that... depends on their upbringing or just how they feel about openly expressing themselves. If it bothers you, talk to them about it and let them know how it makes you feel.
