Kisses on the end of text messages ?

[MillyMollyMoo]

Is this the norm now to put x's on the end of messages to somebody's husband ?
There's more to it but this in particular is irritating me and I'm having to sit on my hands not to text her what the fuck are you playing at.

Is her house a long way from yours?

i put x on the end of all my texts to friends/family, usually 2 or 3 to best friend/DP. I have to think about not doing it to e.g. people from work etc, if you see what I mean. So agree with currently it's your DP you need to be on the case with.

Why did he sleep at the services, according to him? Has he done this before/since?

He's never done it before and apparently he thought I'd kick off about him going out two weeks in a row, which too be fair I would have.

It's not fair to lie to someone because you know they'd be pissed off if you told the truth.

That excuse is barely acceptable from a 15 year old, not from a grown man with a pregnant wife.

I put xoxox at the end of emails to all friends male or female and xxx at the end of all texts. never thought of it as symbolising real kisses, it's just a sign off. may have to rethink this having read this thread. It never crossed my mind that people might be offended by it. DP also puts xxx on the end of his texts to both make and female friends and calls everyone (m and f) 'love'. i think we are just both very universally affectionate.

I hope you get the bigger issue sorted soon though. I would recommend going out with them both and befriending her. it's often the most effective way of staking your territory because it makes you (and your pregnancy) more real and might ignite her sisterly-ness. good luck.

The kisses would worry me less than the claim that he'd been to see a film at 1am. Ok, I may live in the suburbs, but does anyone knowof films that start at that time? Even late night showings in cities tend to start at 11pm?

WRT late cinema - a couple are open until 3ish on Fridays or Saturdays, but not many. Definitely worth checking.

Gowithit - can you tell I've got dc and haven't been out for approx. ten years?!

Can I ask again... is her house a long way from yours?
Was him sleeping at the services a scenario that you understood?
Was he alone with her at the cinema?

I always put an x after my name when I'm sending birthday or Xmas cards. I do it on texts when I know the person well - all my mates, family etc. Not to just mum-of-so-and-so-at-school. It's habit. At least 3 married men get x's from me regularly!

Do you know i have never thought of an X symbolising a real kiss otherwise i would be kissing Everyone i text!!!

that would include

family
married male friends
gay friends
lesbian friends
female friends...

damn i would have sore lips!!!

I am very free with my kisses at the end of emails and texts.- i.e. I do it to everyone. Not even sure how many I put!
Sorry if that annoys you but I'm not stopping doing it.
x

I do to friends - yes. Good friends/DH/mum get x x or even x x x for DH if I'm feeling fruity.

I only put kisses on messages to my husband or kids, used to put them to sibs and dad but not now I'm older.
I'd find it odd, but would be more concerned about the cinema. I'd be asking him if he wished to leave me and live with her, if so fine please go now but no messing on behind my back and no meeting her or giving her lifts again and no kissy texts.

I put my initial and X at the end of text messages to ANYONE, even my boss (although there are some clients that I wouldn't) so I think you are being a bit bananas if this is the ONLY Thing

"He claims he slept in the car at services."

I think that perhaps is the issue - more than the text kiss.

The x on the end of the text would not bother me to see on my DH's phone from someone else, especially female, as I would assume she was like me, I put x's at the end of nearly all my texts, including the parents of my mindees (am a childminder). I would only be annoyed/suspicious if my DH was ending his texts to a female with an x as he isn't the sort to do that, even I don't always get them! Although, having said that, I wouldn't be worried by that alone if there was nothing else suspicious.

I would howvere be furious about the staying out all night after being at a cinema with another female and he would be spending many more nights out in the cold in his car until/unless he convinced me of his innocence!

i do it all the time, even to teachers and people who are just arranging to give me a lift somewhere. i can't help it. i AM embarrassed. as i should be

"Personally I am a big fan of the 'change her number to your number on his phone' trick."

I haven't actually ever done the name change thing, I read it on here. Hope you are ok today milly.

Would agree that this is about MUCH more than the x on the end of a text message.

I do x to friends and did once do an x to a friend's DH - I quickly sent him another one and told him to pass the kiss on to his wife!

I generally do an "X" at the end of my message. Just a way of signing off I guess (and I am definitely, DEFINITELY not a hun!). It's not like a real kiss is it - it's just meaningless.

OP are you OK?
