Dear LFTP: eight years, no 'I love you'
- How can a woman get her boyfriend of eight years to say 'I love you' again after he stopped once the chase ended?
The second Dear LFTP letter comes from a woman in an eight-year committed relationship whose boyfriend pursued her intensely, then stopped all dates and 'I love you's once 'the chase was over,' now calling her insecure and needy for asking. The hosts are blunt — one says 'dump him,' another calls the man a con artist exploiting the woman's capacity to love — while a guest cautions that the 'I love you's may return only when she decides to leave, and to be careful then. The 'secular' answer calls the boyfriend a jerk unlikely to change and asks whether he is the husband she would want for a lifetime.
