I don't find my boyfriend physically attractive. But I do love him. Is it wrong if I tell him that? (If he asks)

What if someday your boyfriend said this to you? How would you feel?

@SW-User terrible. I won't ever say it to him. I just feel guilty for lying to him. That's all. Dunno what to do about that

@basicgirl12 It's not lying. I would be sacked within a week if I told people at work everything I thought about them. I would hate to know what others think of me - I don't even like their compliments.

@basicgirl12 If you love him then you can overcome and deal with not finding him physically attractive (as you already know looks aren't everything). Are you having sexual relations with him? If you are then it is already not an issue to you. If he asks, just say that you love him just the way he is and for who he is (then continue to show/prove it). I have found and learned that physical flaws and imperfections actually seem to improve (or just don't matter).

If he asks me @indyjoe whether I find him attractive I can't just say that I love him for who he is because he's very clever and will see I'm evading the question.

@basicgirl12 I also said you can tell him you love him just the way he is...and than I said you can show him and prove it. If he still fishes for a direct answer then you can tell him the truth but assure him it makes no difference to you.
