I am super uncomfortable with the words "I love you". I have no idea where it comes from but whenever someone drops that bomb on me it freaks me out. It is likewise difficult for me to say I love you in return (exception being my children) so when I say it it is purposeful and genuine.

I'm not sure what that has to do with your post. I'm in a rambling mood today. Lol. If it felt good, enjoy it. :-)
