So what? This isn't an FML. If this is the first time he's been in love how the hell WOULD he know what it really feels like? Stop being so goddamn sensitive about it.

nah don't worry about it, he was probably not meaning it the way you interpreted it - some people aren't good with words at such moments

Yeah. At least he was honest about it.

...You've been dating for a year, and he only just said he loves you? Stop whining. Either love isn't important in this relationship, in which case this situation doesn't matter, or you're an idiot for wanting/needing love and staying in a relationship where you're not getting it for a year. If it takes you that long to figure out if you love someone, it's time for a break.

supreme agreement with #11. and supreme disagreement with #27, WTF are you thinking. love is the strongest bond two people can share, if he didnt want to say it wrongly and wind up hurting you, why is that bad? clearly he cares about you alot, and really does NOT want to mess up. #27, your just ******* stupid (your_face? really? mature name, 12 year old). really. a year? not that long in the grand scheme of things. at all. But hey, at least you took it well right?

This really isn't an fml. Guys just have a hard time with emotions at first.

To #27 and everybody who said that somehow it's bad the boyfriend didn't love her until yet: There is a humongous difference between liking, being attracted to, being infatuated with, respecting, adoring, treating well, and enjoying the company of someone, and thinking they're sexy or hot... AND ACTUALLY LOVING THEM. Love is a very strong word that usually takes AT LEAST a year to come by! The fact that your boyfriend could honestly say truely that he loves you after a year isn't weird, or extra-long; it's actually quite normal, and is a sign that A) he is honest, and B) this is a healthy relationship. ========================= If you overreacted (which I'm guessing you did), simply show him this FML and explain that it was an honest mistake on your part, and you now know what he meant. If you didn't, just forgive him also, and let it go. He didn't mean anything bad by it, he simply did not know how love felt, nor should he be expected to love you sooner since love is a DELICATE COMPLICATED DEEP thing that takes TIME. Love is not your average high school romance, it is serious. Love is when you would comfortable dying for that person, or spending the rest of your life with that person.. preferably both. If somebody doesn't feel that way about their partner, THEN IT MOST LIKELY IS NOT LOVE, JUST A DEEP LIKE! ================= Oh, and uh, #1's right. Everybody on here basically agrees that you super-overreacted, and need to take a chillpill, and your boyfriend didn't do a single thing wrong... am I right???

Can't wait for the follow-up moment from your boyfriend after you dump him over something stupid. Since you're probably his first love, he'll be crushed like a little bug and will go into his next relationship afraid to commit. The cycle will continue. Good luck dying alone, you nitpicky leotard.
