If you want to express your undying love to your partner, there are many ways to say “I love you so much it hurts.” But if you want to get the most out of your words, you must understand why saying “I love you” can be so difficult.

Therefore, to keep the power balance, the person who expresses ambivalence about a relationship is forced to pursue it. It’s akin to diving off a high board without a harness – either you’ll come up with glory or end up bellyflopping.
