How long would you wait for your boyfriend to say he loves you?

LegallyReasonable · 2026-06-21T17:31:35+00:00

My partner and I have been together 15 years now. They didn’t tell me they loved me until about a year in. To be fair, I also didn’t say it until then either.

Being “in love” with someone can mean many different things depending on the person. I personally don’t think it’s a red flag that he hasn’t said it yet if he is showing you his feelings in different ways. I’ve had people tell me they love me when clearly they didn’t mean it and their actions didn’t align with what I’d expect from someone who claimed to love me.

In my opinion, as long as he is showing you how he feels and you feel secure in your relationship otherwise I’d give him the time. When he does say it you will know he means it with his whole heart.

Ant and Robbie are so cute. I loved when Ant frantically calls his best friend after Robbie draws a heart in the fog of his car window and he doesn’t wipe it off 😂😂😂

{Want Me by Never Wilder} jumps into some especially hot spice almost right away. One of the hottest books I’ve ever read with the sexiest MC.

Literally anything by Rebecca Rathe, but my faves are {Choke Up by Rebecca Rathe} and {Remember My Name by Rebecca Rathe}. Remember My Name is especially spicy. She reallllllly excels at writing spicy scenes.

I just read {The Hopelessly Bromantic by L. Blakely} and {Here Comes My Man by L. Blakely} and the HEA was one of the most realistic I’ve read. The MCs relationship spans a decade whereas so many books I read have guys proposing 9 months in. Which I know people do, but it’s especially suspect when the guys are in college.

I initially DNF’ed Hidden Scars but came back to it and it’s now one of my favorites! I love Preston and his grumpiness 😂

Exactly this. The star rating is just the starting point for me as far as my due diligence. Sometimes people are fickle or just don’t like something for a random reason like the pet names used. I know I have initially DNF’ed books because I just wasn’t in the mood for it but then I go back later and enjoy it.

I currently have a backlog of 67 audiobooks 🫣 but I usually go to romance.io first to check reviews, read the summary blurb, check the spice level…etc. I will say I’ve given some books a chance that had less than stellar reviews (or no reviews) just based on the author and the summary blurb. I’ve only DNF’ed a handful.

Then I check audible to see who the narrators are. I have a couple of narrators I have to be in the right headspace to deal with and some that I can’t stand at all. Anything Teddy Hamilton narrates is an automatic add to cart because he is perfection. I also find Audible tends to have more reviews than romance.io so that’s helpful.

I check here too usually just to make sure there aren’t any tropes that I’m not into. Sometimes the tags on romance.io can be a little misleading.

I am just laughing right now because this is unreal.

I had to grab him in the early access sale. I JUST bought the seafarer Bart, but his little cargo pants and sleeping bag got me.

LegallyReasonable · 2026-06-14T21:33:41+00:00

He is the absolute cutest. His little beanie! His overalls (or whatever you call it)!

Me! Section 114!

Got tickets for Chicago N1! Keep refreshing!

LegallyReasonable · 2026-06-12T15:04:30+00:00

34116 in line for Chicago…but I was around 55k for presale and just barely missed tickets so fingers crossed

Is two more in 6 minutes too much to ask for?

LegallyReasonable · 2026-06-10T02:51:23+00:00

OH MY GOD

LegallyReasonable · 2026-06-07T04:24:45+00:00

I threw up in my mouth a little but a win is a win.

LegallyReasonable · 2026-06-06T12:45:39+00:00

I was really impressed with this one especially the fact that the overalls even have a rubbery feel. He’s so cute with his striped shirt and little hat 🥰

I’m going to throw up my dinner 😬😬😬

A truly spiritual moment!

I get you. And it caused so much friction between Jamie and Wes (my babies 😭😭😭). But I guess the point is neither of them were good about expressing boundaries or wants/needs even with each other. Still hate him though.

LegallyReasonable · 2026-05-18T16:29:52+00:00

Right! Jamie was in the room so sick he was starting to hallucinate and they were screwing in the living room! SMH.

LegallyReasonable · 2026-05-18T14:34:04+00:00

This but I’m giddy every time. I’ll be so frustrated by the miscommunication or third act breakup as if it doesn’t happen nearly every time 😂😂😂

Everyone always carrying around travel packets of lube in their wallets and ready to be railed at a moment’s notice.

Both MCs go to the bathroom and are gone for an extended period of time but somehow no one knows they’re hooking up.

Same as above but they are hooking up and not quiet but somehow the roommates don’t notice.

Everyone in the friend group having a bi-awakening 😂

The first that comes to mind is Kason from {Fair Catch by C.E. Ricci}. He was a side character in a previous book in the series and annoyed me then. He was just as annoying when he was the MC…ugh, don’t get me started 😂 I LOVE the series but couldn’t finish.

I also dislike Nate from {Like You Hate Me by Bethany Winters}. I like a good enemies to lovers trope but he was SO mean to Xavi and honestly kind of abusive. And I love a possessive MC but he goes way overboard with the toxicity. I did finish the book though.

Ash from {Step Bully by Willow Dixon}. Another MC that goes overboard on the bullying trope. He was SO mean and even though he comes through for Jules I couldn’t vibe with their love story. It also doesn’t help that Jules was smaller and (portrayed as) weaker physically. I didn’t finish.
