Bored or friendly

[laterunner]

Trying to figure out if a close friend is being within normal boundaries when he texts me every evening on and off over a period a couple of hours . Texting has ramped up lately and have thought sometimes that he is acting more than a friend?
Both in partnerships

That comment about your boobs is really weird. I think the only good answer to that comment is "Fuck off".

You are over investing in this friendship, just back off immediately. He is being disrespectful to his girl friend by trying to be over familiar with you and you seem to enjoy the fact he is ‘confiding’ in you. How would you honestly feel if your partner had a ‘friendship’ like this, and surely both of you have better things to do than text each other most evenings? .

Have you posted about this before? There was a very similar thread recently.

I did say' god you are so inappropriate at times'

No I have never posted . I can hardly admit it to myself. The anonymity here is why I posted . My partner knows everything . He has female friends and they don't talk like this but everyone accepts' michael' because ' this is just the way he is' over the top, demonstrative, warm, over familiar. There is no issue at home with me and my partner . This is the way michael is as a man

Just put your phone away. You say he texts you at 2 in the morning? . Do you have your phone near you all the time?

How often do you actually meet in real life?

I work with him . I turn my phone off at night now when i remember . I have teens so am used to leaving it on

Honestly, as you have posted more and more updates it’s increasingly inconceivable that you have not realised he has totally crossed the line of acceptability. I guess it has happened insidiously so you have been uncertain but still, come on! Just stop communicating with him like this and clearly reestablish boundaries

I have llost my typing again aaarrrgh . New poster but a lurker . I just want direction and an happy to get that
