This is the most touchy subject for me. When I lived with my mother......not a single night went by when she didn't tell me, "Goodnight _ _ _ _ _ _ _, I love you". I'd say, I know you love me mom, why do you tell me it all the time"? She told me that we never know when our last days on earth will be and she wanted to make sure she had said it recent enough for me to remember the time it was said. I've never forgotten this sentiment and to this day.........if I love you, you will hear it from me as often as I think of it to say! I"ll never say I love you just as a filler...........if I love you.......you'll know it! It's NOT something I take lightly or spread around loosely...........but when I feel it......I say it!
