Friend is away for a couple of days for a stag do. He doesn't normally drink so guessing not much would render him quite drunk. Last night I received a text at 1am but didn't see it till this morning. It was written terribly with a lot of typos and repeated letters in words so took me a few moments to understand what it said. The coherent version...without some random stuff at the beginning..

"Juyetii, poppy. I miss you. I wish you were here with me. Its so fucking beautiful. So so beautiful. Is it too late to tell you how I feel. You're the one. Let's go back to the beginning. I'm just wasting time. I know it might be complicated but it doesn't matter. it will be okay. I'm too fucking scared to tell you. I wish you feel the same.

I haven't received anything from him yet nor have I replied. I don't know what to make it of it really. Im pretty sure he was drunk when he sent it. Does he actually mean it if he was drunk? Do I bring it up / ignore it?! I've been thinking about it all day!

I herewith place my mark.

billycat321 · 28/07/2023 13:24

Juyeti. By 'complicated' do you mean he is married?
Don't go there.

@3luckystars made my day 🤣🤣

LiloP · 28/07/2023 13:25

I also want to know where he is on his stag do “so so beautiful” 😀

LiloP · 28/07/2023 13:26

Also my guess to the “it’s complicated”: he is/was friends with her ex DP. But not married.

Just had to add this to my watch list - it’s like Mills and Boon 🥰

Hollyisblue · 28/07/2023 13:41

I hope it will have a happy ending

@juyeti unless you are a brain surgeon actively saving someone's life right at this minute, I demand and update now!

Did you tell them when you were on your friends hen do though?

The fact that it was on a stag night makes me see red flags.

I hope I’m wrong.

You may have said already so if I missed it im sorry but is there a difference with being on a hen do or being on the lash with mates? I was with a big group of girlfriends, at different stages in life and we were all drinking. No it wasnt a hen do but it didnt feel any different to most of the hen dos i have been to.

What would the difference be for you? ...genuinely interested to know in what way the dynamic would change unless it was my hen of course in which case it would be less of a red flag and more of a warning beacon!

Aww this is cute 🥰

Ah, I thought it was clear he's not single as OP dodged the question a few times but answered that she was. But perhaps this too.

RudsyFarmer · 28/07/2023 14:00

Errr I’m here for this too 🤩

RudsyFarmer · 28/07/2023 14:02

Oh yes and my assumption was also some connection with a recent ex or father of OPs children.

TribeD · 28/07/2023 14:04

Just wanted to say I once, when incredibly drunk, texted a friend. I really really liked him, but would never have plucked up the courage to tell him, but drunk me was brave enough.

Anyway, he responded, I invited him up the following weekend and the rest is history. I married my drunken textee 🥰.

ohsuzannah · 28/07/2023 14:12

How romantic! 🌹

graceinspace999 · 28/07/2023 14:13

I wonder if he doesn’t usually drink because it gives him problems? A heavy drinker? Alcoholic?

Drunk texting would be a red flag or a warning for me.

Doesn’t Mumsnet usually warn against drunken men?

I don’t know though….it would be lovely if it worked out but personally I’d proceed with caution…

Quercus30 · 28/07/2023 14:13

😅

Lisa46 · 28/07/2023 14:35

Just txt him and ask him if he meant it.

deltablue · 28/07/2023 14:37

I'm just here to see what happens! Quite intrigued Smile

If you bothered to read the thread you would know that has happened.

lifeturnsonadime · 28/07/2023 14:47

Yes shamelessly place marking too.

Want to know what the complications are.

Fuckitydoodah · 28/07/2023 14:53

Ooh, I hope you both live happily ever after ❤️

This is what I was thinking!

I want a happy, romantic ending ❤
