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

Yes, basically he threatened to end it/ended it, and she confirmed it.

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 ,
Yep.

I'd take it that he's had enough, and that basically her previous message was sufficient for him to think enough is enough, hence him saying he's off and out of the door.

So he's said he's quit. He's jumped before he was pushed.

Yeah, this.

They sound about 15. Why don't people talk to each other anymore?

Interesting perspectives just goes to show how little you can understand from texts!

Still hasn’t called him Hmm

Does your friend want the relationship to be over or not?

Fwiw, if I had received the boyfriend's text, I would be unsure what he meant. And would've gone on to ask! If I had received her text, I would presume she had ended the relationship.

I'm in my 40s and would read his text as him saying it was over but he was trying to blame her for it.

Skysblue · 26/09/2021 18:08

I read it as him asking if she wants to end it and her saying yes. From the texts it seems that she dumped him.

If neither of them cares enough to have an adult conversation then there isn’t much of a relationship there in the first place 🤷‍♀️

Nether of them have actually finished it, they will likely waste another year on this crap.

😂 are they thirteen?!
