To be upset?

[Troubledee]

Dp and I were mucking about texting each other (we don’t live together) and we were texting silly things and I asked him if he hoped we would be together til we’re old and he text back - I think so. Wtf?!

If he didn’t put a question mark at the end he was stating a fact. I think so. End of. Sounds ok to me.
Text speak is often misunderstood. Depending on where you think the emphasis on each word is.
ithink so ..... do you?
I think so ..... I hope so .
i think sooooooo You put me on the spot but I’m not saying no.
This is why emoji’s were invented. Any chance he used one of those ?

I was talking to my bloke the other day when I said that to me his looks are an 11out of ten

His answer?

Your about a 7 love

I must learn not to ask such daft questions!

Don’t read too much into it-men and women can be from different planets sometimes

So you texted your boyfriend did he want to grow old with you, and he texted back that he thinks he does. He’s obviously honest and he’s given you a good answer considering you don’t even live together yet. Do you want a partner who just says yes to everything to please you, whether he means it or not?

Could the emphasis have been on the ‘I’. So he was saying that he believes you will be not just hopes.

@Bloodycats that made me laugh so much....sounds completely like my DH 😂

I’d read that “I think so” as a Yes. I’m not sure why you’re upset. It’s an idiomatic way of saying “Yes”

If you were texting silly things, I don't think it's fair for you to choose to take something in a negative way. He probably thought you were both mucking about.

You sprung a serious proposition/question on someone in the middle of a silly conversation and got upset with a silly answer. DP and I have been together for over a decade, are madly in love, but when we’re in a silly mood we’ll still say stuff like “I love you” “Meh, you’re all right I suppose”. “I’ll love you when we’re old and grey” “Well i’m sticking you in the cheapest retirement home I can find as soon as they’ll accept you.”

How long have you been together?

I remember when I asked my DH of what he thought after we were going out awhile about his first thoughts when we first met (I said I thought he was gorgeous and a had cheeky smile) He said I thought you had panda eyes..Charming!

It's too late to say this, but texting about long term hopes about a relationship before they've been discussed in person is a lot of pressure for a text. I'm guessing he responded as well as one could to that. Imagine if he'd said yes, then your deciding moment would have been made via text. That's as unromantic as his response. It's a lose-lose situation.
