Do the guys here tell their fathers they love them?

[CoolTech]

I never have directly, have you guys?

 

[yobarman]

Not often. He know whats up though.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I don't think I've ever said that to anyone.

 

[Coquito]

When he's awake he's not in a good mood. When he's drunk, he doesn't comprend. When he's asleep he seems the most vulnerable.

 

[DAGTA]

Yes.

 

[ribbon13]

On his death-bed.

 

[necine]

Yeah I've told him directly.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

The man that stood in for my father? You bet.

 

[myusername]

All the time. I wish I felt like I meant it.

 

[Proletariat]

I do.

I never really had a 'real' mother.

I feel I owe it to him for all that he has done... at the very least.

I think I've said "I love you" like three times, and I think two of them were when I confused lust for love.

The only emotions I express are anger and disgust.

 

[aidanjm]

No. But then, I have anger issues re: my parents, and I'm not sure what "love" might mean re: my relationship with them

 

[skyking]

I did.

 

[RadioHead84]

Yes pretty much whenever i talk to him on the phone.

 

[OneOfTheseDays]

it's a nonverbal "i love you".

 

[Excelsior]

One time my mom asked him: "Why have you never told your son you love him?"

So he said: "You know I love you son, right?"

I said: "Yeah dad, I know".

Thats it.

 

[Xyclone]

Yeah.

 

[bradruth]

Yep.

 

[KingofCamelot]

Yes.

 

[Alkesh]

Maybe once or twice directly, but other than that it's implied.

I'll tell you what:

I hardly ever told my old man I loved him. It was around Father's day this last summer and I kind of avoided him most of the day and they left for vacation the next day, were gone for a week and got back. I gave him a big hug and told him I loved him and really appreciated all he did for me--probably one of the most heart-felt moments we had.

He literally died five days later in an accident at home. I was so glad I was able to tell him that, for if I hadn't, I might not have never lived it down.
