To think my mate is overreacting to this text?

She’s arguing with my boyfriend over text and he said

“Okay, I know where the door is”

She replied

“I’m done with this”

Did his reply already mean he had ended their relationship? Because she’s driving me mad talking about it non stop.

He text it about an hour ago and she’s just taking it literally like he’s finished it Confused

Fuck knows. Either of their texts could be taken as ending the relationship, but it all sounds very.. overblown and so it makes me wonder how this is the first time she’s come across miscommunications when arguing over text.
Why doesn’t she call him?

CharlotteRose90 · 26/09/2021 15:28

In my eyes I wouldn’t take his text as them being over but I would take hers as meaning that. She needs to relax and call him ,

I told her to call him but she’s adamant he’s ended the relationship.

I took it as him saying basically I know you’re ending it so I’ll walk away. If he wanted to say he’s ended it surely he’d say “you know where the door is”

I think they both need to grow up and have a conversation by actually talking to each other.

Ughmaybenot · 26/09/2021 15:30

Oh right, well let her get on with it then. Can’t help those who want to revel in the drama.
I agree with your assumption btw. She shouldn’t say things she doesn’t mean 🤷🏼‍♀️

This is a bit pathetic, are they 14? Does it matter who ended it?

Fluffypastelslippers · 26/09/2021 15:31

Is your friend actually your DD? This isn't the maturest situation

QueenoftheKarens · 26/09/2021 15:31

Why doesn't she talk to him... like an adult? ConfusedHmm

@ CharlotteRose90 my thoughts exactly, hers sounds very “we’re over”

How are you supposed to know?!
Hopefully he has ended it.

gamerchick · 26/09/2021 15:33

Your friend needs to grow up I think.

thefirstmrsrochester · 26/09/2021 15:35

Incredibly childish, if she wants to know if the relationship is over she should phone like an adult and not coerce you into second guessing the meaning of a text message.

girlmom21 · 26/09/2021 15:37

I wouldn't take that as someone ending the relationship to be honest.

ShaneTheThird · 26/09/2021 15:37

Is 22 a typo for 14 because what a child

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 26/09/2021 15:38

Sounds like they've BOTH had a lucky escape. How juvenile.

2miz · 26/09/2021 15:39

From just the snippet and no backstory this sounds immature. She needs to ring him and talk, in your shoes I wouldn't be drawn into this at all, just tell her she needs to speak to him.

Hapoydayz · 26/09/2021 15:41

Sounds like he has ended it

FlorenceWintle · 26/09/2021 15:44

Her text is the one that sounds like she’s ending it, not his.

KrisAkabusi · 26/09/2021 15:53

Sounds like she ended it rather than him. But it's pathetic that they're doing this by text.

TillyTopper · 26/09/2021 15:59

Why are you involved? If she's bombarding you with messages then I'd find something else to do pronto. You can't work out what he means if she can't. They both sound about 14 tbh!

VickyEadieofThigh · 26/09/2021 16:02

Why are they texting rather than talking?

ShaneTheThird · 26/09/2021 16:04

Why does it matter anyway? She's ended it by deciding not to call him and talk like adults.

Bluntness100 · 26/09/2021 16:04

Are you sure on the ages? Because thay sounds like kids to me.
