Dang you! You beat me to it! Well played sir. Well played.
I agree. I thought about it and I still tell my husband I love him all the time after being together close to a decade (I can’t believe it’s been that long). But yes, I don’t think everyone is like that. And I agree with Sparta that it might be weird reading it on the page repeatedly. But agreed, that Rogue isn’t as expressive with her love. I believe reading on KT’s Tumblr that she admits that Rogue has to work on this stuff a bit, as well as showing her support of her husband – given the opportunity. Rogue’s never been an “I love you slut” (why have I been referencing HIMYM so much lately?). Other than Gambit, has Rogue ever admitted to loving any other man (in this reality or maybe she did while I was boycotting)? I think expressions of love are easier for Gambit because he’s been in love many times before (Harbour Speech). Also, he's been more intuned with his emotions than Rogue. Just my opinion
