Aqua & ... I love you?!

Hi!

I've got a somewhat strange question 🙂

I've been together with "my" aquaman for approximately a year and a half and from time to time I (as a cancer) feel that he's not enough "committed" in this relationship (what's new, you wonder). I know this is probably typically aquarius, because afterwards he's very sweet to me again! Now..

(-) Yesterdag and the day before I was at his place. He was working outside and I was studying inside and we were hardly speaking. So I was thinking: maybe he needs some time on his own again..

(+) Then yesterday, in the evening, we got cosy. We went to get his favourite food, we watched a funny show together and.. we had sex! Afterwards he kisses my nose and my forehead and he looks at me and says: "I love you..".

Obviously I get a little confused here 😄 What does this mean? The last few days were not overwhelmingly loving and then all of a sudden paddaboom: "I love you". x-)
Last night I really was surprised, honestly! (He once told me that he only says "I love you" when he really means it.)

My thoughts are that he might really love/like me. I think I just have to accept that I'm handling with a "cool" aquarius. So I must keep in mind that he loves/likes me, even if he seems absent, and that I don't have to start worrying (does he love someone else?) or get suspicious (is he fooling me or what?) when he does finally puts his trust in me, saying that he loves me..
