We have been together for 8 yrs. He says he loves me but isn't in love with me. We are best of friends and he thinks of me like a sister. Someone to share everything with but no loving at all.:(

You have to realize that there are different kinds of love - it is not all romantic with kisses and flowers and happily ever after.

Some say there are five kinds of love - desire (attraction), longing (romance), belonging (affection), cherishing (friendship), and selfless (Christian as in agape). See the following text: http://www.eldrbarry.net/marriage/clas/bm04.pdf

You have a great friend who loves you. He sees you as one of his closest confidants. Cherish that. You are loved. Be honored that he respects you and values your friendship.
