I have been asked to explain where the tradition of my husband following his stupid comments with “I love you” came from. At first, I was a little reluctant to try to explain this one, but on reflection it really is a classic illustration of our relationship and dynamic. This particular Conversation occurred before we were married. HIM: (says something hopelessly stupid, laughs at himself) ME: (sigh) I love you. HIM: You always say that when I… wait… are you REMINDING YOURSELF? ME: I think so, yeah. HIM: Hmmm… good thing I’ll never run out of stupid things to say. No chance that you’ll forget how much you love me! ME: (unimpressed face) HIM: (beaming) ME: You know, it occurs to me that I’m ALWAYS the one to say it first. HIM: That’s just because I’m always busy saying something stupid. ME: (glare) HIM: Wait… that came out wrong… You love me! (smiles) ME: That’s it. From now on, I’M not going to remind myself. It’s just reassuring you and enabling this behavior. HIM: So… you want me to remind you? ME: No, I’d RATHER you just stop saying stupid things! HIM: I CAN’T JUST STOP TALKING!!! ME: (pointed look) HIM: I love you!
