When I first met him, he had just came out of a long term relationship with a woman he loved very much. She totally screwed him over and broke his heart. He was depressed and suffered stress related illnesses after the break up, sounding like he resented her leaving him. I called it off after 2 months of dating. During that time, she tried to get back with him and he decided against it after some confusion.

We began chatting again as friends and he was a different person, he seemed ready to make a go of things. However, I felt like he was still getting over her during our early days. Now it has been three years since we met and 2 1/2 since we became exclusive. He has told me he loved me twice when we first dated, when he was steaming drunk. I said it once during a crazy argument and we have both never said it sober.

We act crazy in love and he does everything a perfect partner would. Constant affection, great sex life, best friends, constantly together, live together, future plans etc etc. Best relationship I have ever been in and he says the same. If I bring up his relationship with his ex, he says he couldn't be himself with her and act silly like he can with me. He has no problems talking about growing old together and buying a big house together. But I can't help feel like this is messed up. We talk about everything under the sun including insecurities n relationship problems. Just not the L word..

Help!

Him and his ex were crazy in love, constantly saying the L word. But we haven't said it to one another despite having an incredible relationship.
