But do you think it is acceptable that dp texts his sons girlfriend and they put kisses at the end. She is 17.

Depends on what is written and how often they are texting each other.

Everybody puts kisses on the end of all texts always now. Or this is how it seems to me. I get texts from my boss, my cleaner, my personal trainer all signed off with 'x'

The only person who doesn't do it, is my husband.

It's probably fine, op. I think it's just the way things are now.

Context is key here ...

I put 'xxx' almost automatically on text messages, mostly because I got into the habit when old phones had a character limit so longer messages required multiple individual texts so it was like a signal to say "This is the end of the message". Now I have to actively remind myself not to put it when I'm talking to my supervisor/boss but if you're not one of those people, you'll get the automatic 'xxx' and even if you are asupervisor/boss you may occasionally get the 'xxx' then an apology for the mistake.

Depends how often they talk,about what and whether your DP uses xxx as punctuation like i do or not. Most of my texts have an x at the end,regardless of whom I'm talking to.
I had to make a conscious effort not to use them on here Grin

My question is why is he even texting his sons girlfriend in the first place? Seems odd.

StillMaidOfStars · 03/02/2017 23:27

I have never - NEVER - put a x at the end of a text. Annoyingly, my best mate appears to have acquired this bizarre behaviour in the last couple of years. Grr.

OP, apparently it could be normal. Why is your partner texting your son's girlfriend?

It does seem almost normal to end messages with a kiss now though I only do it with family/good friends.
Context is key. Does he end messages to everyone with kisses? Are the messages themselves inappropriate?

Lots of people use xx as a full stop.

Depends on what else is in the messages, really.

I find it weird that he's texting her at all, never mind with kisses on the end of the text.

TreeTop7 · 03/02/2017 23:31

Depends on whether he ends his texts like that normally. Is there more to this?

clumsily inappropriate if nothing else. need more info.

proudmum690 · 03/02/2017 23:48

you can't make a conclusion from this alone, but as someone else said you probably have other suspicions. ask yourself: how often they are texting, what is the nature of their messages (flirty etc), what time they are texting each other, does your dp normally end their texts with "x" ??

there's a strong chance it might just be habit...

How long have they been together? I don't think it's weird for him to text if they've been together a while ( unless ofcourse it's flirty texts, or they're constantly texting, then that might signal something).

I'm struggling to see why your DP would ever need to text his son's girlfriend.

My dh doesn't, but he doesn't ever do that except inside cards to me.
