I think the West has a very neurotic, protestant relationship with love. If you visit, say, South America, people are so much more chill and open about it.
I'd guess that keeping people from free happiness is a good way to get them stuck in hamster wheel of capitalism.
My husband and I say I love you but my family pretty much never says to each other. My husband who’s not white says it every time when hanging up the phone with his family and they’ll even say it to me which feels weird.

I've dated white people and they definitely say "I love you"
You're certainly right. But I think the frequency is less compared to other cultures. Dunno, I haven't read any research on this.

All my friends that date Americans winge about this issue too.

people don't really say te amo though, they say te quiero.
OK true
The west is just hell and guaranteed neuroses for everyone who lives in that shitty culture
