Does Faye love Angus?
squishything:
Yeah, I don't see that Angus did anything wrong here whatsoever.
No manipulation, no lying to himself or his partner, just casual emotional honesty here. There's no way we can reasonably expect him to anticipate all of Faye's insecurities, and in any case, trying to do so wouldn't help either of them in the long run.

However, saying it with the expectation of the reflexive "I love you, too" in return can be tantamount to extortion.
Never say it without meaning it, and never expect anything in reply. But be ready to talk to the one you love... so try not to say it when you're climbing onto a train!

New times reflexes: These days it's "I know". 8-)

I dunno man, that's just asking to get your ass frozen in carbonite...

I'm gonna go get drunk on British time today and ruin Marten's dance." ... Angus - in my eyes - is an inconsiderate buffoon (man, what is UP with me and my raging today?) for saying something serious liek that in a situation like that.
(I actually agree with questionablecontentfan about "I love you" sometimes meaning nothing at all... but in this case it "could" and thats the heavy part.)

Uh... That's not what I meant at all. Anyway, I guess it comes down to what you think was going on in his head. It was probably a mistake, but I don't see why we need to assign blame. I mean, he just said he loves her, and he's proved a few times that he cares about Faye, so my guess is if Faye wants to resolve this he'll cooperate enthusiastically. I'll start getting angry when she communicates her needs and he dismisses them.
Is it cold in here?:

You can love your new coat or that movie you just saw.
"I love you" doesn't mean anything. When I finally do get with someone, I have no plans to say it.
