ghost69 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 my ex used to use the word love for just about everything. "i love (specific band)". go out with some friends, have a good time, then friends go home "oh, i love XXXX". then when the word is directed at me, it doesn't feel so sharp. was this an overreaction? i pointed this out several times, but she never changed that. really irritated me.

MrCrazy2u Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 My ex would pretty much only use the words 'hate' or 'love' with everything... it always got on my nerves, especially when she'd say it to her guy friends... she threw it around way too much Link to comment
Dating Coach Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I think you are worrying too much. I understand what you are saying but what are you supposed to do, tell them they can't use that word in everyday vocabulary? I simply would ignore it. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 i did digg. that is why when i confronted her about it, it was a problem. she would just say, it's just a word i use. its' just another reason why she is my ex. she is still a friend though. Link to comment
Leonhart Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Well, if you're not with her anymore, I wouldn't worry about it. Hopefully the next girl won't use the "L" word as much. lol Link to comment
ghost69 Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 uhm, thanks wil. hence why i said a reason we are not together. i guess i need to clarify this. why do women use words like this so much to label just about everything? whether it is love or not. Link to comment
Leonhart Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I saw that, hence the word 'ex.' Probably just an expressive person. I know guys who talk the same way. I love Pepsi. But I don't want to have sex with it. It's just an hyperbole, an exagerrated way of speaking. I hear it all the time, from both sexes. Link to comment
Scotcha Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 There are different kinds of love. Even the love you have for your children is very different than the love you have for your SO. I am sure the way she loves music is very different than the way she loved you. I do think it was an overreaction on your part... Words have multiple meanings in our language. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 i understand the undermeaning. it just made it seem meaningless when i heard it all day and she tells it to me a lot too. Link to comment
ImThatGirl Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 For some reason, I just envisioned a girl walking in a room saying "I love that carpet, I love that song, I love that clock, and I looooove you!" Chuckles... I probably do this. Say I love things. Tell my friends, my children, my family I love them. And often. Because I do love them. I have alot of things and people I love in my life. That doesn't mean though, that "Love" is meaningless. And I try to express love as often as possible. Was it maybe her lack of loving everything combined with somehow making your relationship feel meaningless in other ways? Link to comment
ghost69 Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 it just drove me nuts. not the only reason i broke up with her. this reason was extremely minor. Link to comment
