"Not now but I'm still not sure how much I love you"

[FireandBrimstone]

First time I've started a thread, please be gentle on me... Hoping someone can talk me down or stop me from going ape.

I've just received a text from DH saying "Not now but I'm still not sure how much I love you." I don't know if it's a complete mistake or if it was meant for someone else.

I need to put a bit of context. He's out with DD, she has just been playing on his iPad and sending me pictures from his iMessage account, which of course makes a continual thread of conversation with whatever texts he sends me from his iPhone too.

Just before I received the message, I got another one along the lines of 'just at work, 5 minutes...' He's not at work just now so that's a wee bit odd too.

Theory 1 - DD is copying and pasting content from other messages she's accessing on the iPad, without really registering what she's doing or
Theory 2 - DH is messaging someone from his iPhone and for some reason, perhaps because DD is on iMessage too, he's accidentally sending them to me.
Theory 3 - DD is composing and sending 100% random messages.

Either way - I have never received a message from DH saying either of the two things in the iMessages I've just received. So it wouldn't be that DD is simply copying and pasting any previous dialogue with me.

DH has not been full-blown unfaithful in the past AFAIK but there has been other activity enough to make me not feel I can trust him at this moment.

Hope I have explained this clearly enough. What would you do - challenge him on the text, try to sneak his device off for a nosy or calm the f* down and stop being so suspicious?

I agree with Merd - it sounds as though there is an innocent explanation and really you should just ask him! Please don't snoop - you will feel bad about yourself if you don't find anything.

It depends what the other activity is. Could do with more info.

Bloody hell
My android does the same not sure how much I love you malarkey.

Nothing dodgy showing anywhere on iPad. Probably it has indeed been DD messing about - esp if so many of you are managing to replicate the message!
I'm MUCH calmer thanks to all your helpful and logical comments (which is exactly why I'm glad I posted about it all before acting). I will probably raise it with DH at some point because otherwise that would be just as odd behaviour on my side - but it will not be in the frantic manner it would have been earlier today!
Thanks all.

I would read the "I'm at work..." message to mean: I'm at work but I'll be back home in 5 min or I'm at work but leaving in 5 min to come home. Neither of which really make sense if he didn't send them to you.

You definitely need to talk - it's a bit worrying that you were angry and ready to believe it was an affair or something. It looks like the trust has gone in your relationship and that's never easy to fix ... Hope your chat goes well and maybe helps address things.

Just another to say I pressed the "not" and also got the identical message by tapping the predictive text. I reckon definitely DD!
