DH putting kisses on text

[obsoletemum]

Is it weird for a married man in his late thirties to put a kiss on a text message to younger female work colleagues?

Asking for a friend...

weird to be reading husbands business texts and correspondence.
Is that OK within his employers GDPR policy?

The only experience I have of this is of a man who was 20 years older than me and my superior at work. Looking back he was definitely toeing a line..

I don’t think its that weird

@EveryDayIsADuvetDay oh god sorry - didn't realise a "happy new year" text with a kiss on new years eve was a confidential business text and correspondence. literally not relevant to anything work related... none of them were at work!

I sometimes accidentally put x because some people I am texting with use it😐
I once neded up in x hell😂
Thanks xx
You are welcome xx
Nah really, thanks xxx
👍 Xxx
😁Xxxx

It's bit weird UK thing, I guess. 😂 Cute.

However, he shouldn't even if he normally does it or does it as a reply to hers x (I do that). He is encouraging her now. So my very rare, no I wouldn't be happy either. But I wouldn't know because we don't check each others phones.

I think it is odd - but it would be far less odd is she sent the first x and continued to do so.

Here's the thing... it seems that when your husband signed-off a text message to a colleague with an 'x' that it crossed a boundary for you, or at very least it triggered an insecurity. So maybe the best thing you can do for yourself, in order to prevent this issue from escalating inside your noggin, is talk to your husband. Explain that while you support his work friendships, this particular type of communication crossed a relationship boundary for you (you'll need to explain why, and what texting 'x' to another woman means to you). Then ask him to respect your position going forward. You may find that it's totally innocent and if he's been engaging in stupid ego-boosting behaviour then you'll nip it in the bud. Be aware though - if it's not usual behaviour for you two to read each others text then he's probably going to hone in on that! Good luck.

Interesting that you’re projecting this onto her, OP. He’s not “accidentally giving her the wrong impression”, he’s encouraging her behaviour because he’s enjoying it. You’re not married to her, you’re married to him.
