This question is totally subjective as everyone’s definition and interpretation of love varies. However, there are a few common threads acknowledged by society that tend to be relevant. Generally speaking these are; affection and attention, changes over time, companionship and trust.
It is generally a bad sign if your husband pays you little or no attention, or if that which he does is negative in some way. While some may disagree, it goes without saying that any form of physical or psychological abuse absolutely rules out the possibility of love. However, if you love someone you care about how and what they think, how they act and how they feel and a failure to pay attention to you in any of these respects is not a good sign.
There is also such an idea as ‘falling out of love’ and this means that people that were once ‘in love’ no longer are. This change is often imperceptible but very noticeable when compared to behaviour at one point compared to the present. If your husband seems like he cared for you more at an earlier time, this does not necessarily mean showering you with gifts but taking a genuine interest in every aspect of you as a person, than he does now then again this is not good. When chatting with a friend you would listen and so ‘love’ is a further heightened form of companionship, so he should treat you with care, respect and interest now.
Love is also about sacrifice, so if you feel you can always rely on him to help you in any given situation then he probably loves you, however if you feel you cannot trust him to do this then maybe he does not. Being able to trust someone implicitly is another key factor in determining love.
As mentioned earlier, this question is subjective but hopefully the indicators above should provide some help.
