I love my dad very much...however I can never tell him out-loud "I LOVE YOU DAD" for some reason. It feels adnormal to tell him "I LOVE HIM".
With my mom it is very easy. But with my dad, I be scared; I feel like I be commiting a sin if I say that. however, we both know we love each other...I'm his seed and he is my father...
Do any of you all experience a situation like this being a male?
Can you honestly tell your dad, "I love you dad" without feeling werid
Well I know I am not a guy but I love my daddy with all my heart and I tell him I love him even though sometimes he makes me so mad and upset thats its hard to think about saying I love you but its always in my herat
Hmm interesting topic string. My dad is very Conservative and through out my childhood he was there physically but not emotionally he always gave my moms and my siblings more material things that we could ask for (He just bought me a house in Smyrna, GA). I had a dad who was about business not into emotional woo wah. I must admit it has truly shaped me for the world. Here is the thing he's an Ivy Grad and a Prof. and Head of one of Departments @ MIT. I attend Morehouse College the school he decided in his freshman year was not up to par with his standards. He presented me with a Trust fund of 200,000 to attend the Ivy's, when I decided I wanted to come to Morehouse he said it was find with him as long as he did not have to pay for it. We made a deal that if I would maintain a GPA in the 3.6 to 4.0 range he would pay. I have and now our relationship is just that business. I love him but as much as I respect him for that stern father figure he is. I use to say I love you to him and he would always ask me why. My reply has always been because you are a strong, intelligent, and respectable person. He would then say so you respect me. I don't say it anymore because I feel it only pushes him further away.
I don't say I love him because I know that he knows it already and saying I love him puts him in an awkward situation. So out of respect I don't say it anymore.
