Random question. Thought about it recently after few discussions with people. Are "I love you" and "I'm in love with you" two different things and have different meanings? I always thought there was no difference between those two statements and their meanings, but some people beg to differ. What's your opinion, fellow fabbers? |

I think it depends on the context?
I love my ex, she’s the mother of our children. But I’m not in love with her, an the best decision we ever did was split from one another. We are great friends, an have a great friendship now probably better than we ever did   |

I'll happily say "I love you" to my partner, family members and the dog.
Only my partner gets "I'm in love with you".
Contextually, they can mean the same thing to the person you are in love with but not everyone you love, if that makes sense.

Everyone is different in how they feel and express their emotions. They may also moderate themselves in what they say. These phrases should pretty much mean about the same but there are going to be subtle differences, 'I'm in love with you' potentially being a more substantial statement of something more than just an emotion. The context is all. |

When it does come to love there are so many different meanings because you can easily say that you love your mum and dad but you love them in a different way than you would love a potential girlfriend a potential wife so to speak |
