Man in my 50s here. Have started telling the important people in my life that I love them every time I see them. The embaressment, especially with the men, might shave a year or two off my life but I'm not stopping now. If I drop dead tomorrow they'll at least know how I felt.

Jack's Tragic Loss of Thagomizers
@fesshole Literally my last words to my dad. He died while I was on a plane, and I got the call almost as soon as I landed.

@fesshole Maybe it's easier for us since I'm older than you (and I'm not a guy) but I sign off texts and emails with a sincere "I love you" in different ways but I'd think in this craven world, even men would feel good about it. You have the time now, use it wisely so you don't regret it.
I agree with all comments and it ended nicely with the post by sleeper.

That men cannot tell another men in our life that we love them must be the stupidest feature of the male gender construct.
