for context we are both filipino and he does not use this as a replacement for when we actually say it in english. he'll just say this often and gets genuinely sad when i don't say it back.
we had gotten into an argument where i tried to express myself that i felt weirded out by it. i knew his intentions were to just say ily but i just felt uncomfortable and really tried to express it but i struggled to.
he proceeds to ask "what if i said daisuki" (ily in japanese) and i just expressed the same thing. i mentioned how i may feel uncomfortable because of how he only uses japanese and korean and not any other language. he replys saying like
"oh so what if i spoke spanish, french etc" and so at that point i just felt shut down and apologized.
am i overthinking/overreacting this?? like i really don't know how to feel about this whole situation
tl;dr bf wants to say ily to me in korean/japanese (not as replacement for english) but im weirded out by it and even after trying to expresss myself i question if i’m overthinking/overreacting
