Ever tell your father that you love him?

[Anacardo]

Very rarely. Neither of us are the lovey-dovey type, and our relationship is not, nor has it ever, been a close one.

I'm the opposite, we are very close, but for some reason "love" just cannot be mentioned. It is a really weird feeling that I cannot explain. The same goes for my Mom and other relatives, even though I love them to death.

my Dad passed away 10 years ago...

my advice to those with Dad's? Say it if you're not.

Say it more often if you do.

I only tell my grandparents(grandmother is only onew left) that I love them and haven't told either parent that I love them since they got divorced 6 years ago.

Just about everyday. It's how we end our phone conversations and I wouldn't want it any other way.

No, but then I've only seen the asshat about 5 times ever.

I told him to piss off last time I saw him, about 20+ years ago. Does that count?

[Raisor]

every once in awhile i get a "I'm proud of you son" out of my dad, which is always way better than a "love you" to end a phone convo, but to answer the question, i dont ever remember saying i love you to him.

Dom,

I am Italian as well and my family is all like this. I was at a funeral on Monday, a friend of mine, her father had died and he had passed on bad terms with my friend. She had't told him that she loved him in years and it has been eating her up this week, she has so many regrets right now. It made me realize that I wouldn't ever go through that.

[CheckRaise]

Whenever I talk to him on the phone.

[gamblore99]

everytime I see him. We have the goodbye I love yous, but there are also plenty of "I am so proud of you boys, I love you all so much" and returned from us with plenty of the same.
