Texts, what are yours like from your dp/dh?

[footballcrazy11]

All I get is one two words with no kiss or anything at the end. I will be honest it does make me smile as he is quite affectionate face to face but I am curious if this is a man thing?

It depends on what he's doing. He still has an old Nokia, so he has to press each button several times to get the right letter (he hates modern technology).

Sometimes I get a "love" at the end but mostly it is just to the point and brief. He is very affectionate.

Yesterday's conversation his spelling makes me wince We're not generally a lovey dovey couple.

Quiver : Some if these are "cold"

Err, no they aren't. Some of them are practical, some are informative, some are funny.

Dh and I do all of the above. And sexy and sometimes.

But I don't to kisses. No xxxx from me.
And I don't like "Hun"! From girl'friends' either. Just Sayin.

My DH is a terrible over kisser. Texts about bread with 7 or 8 kisses. I am a 2 kisses woman rain or shine. Each to his own though.

DH - short and factual

DS - gushing and needy

I like texts throughout the day - always with kisses or silly emoticons. And we're old!

I would find a text with no kisses or salutations quite cold. Like dealing with my builder.

Each to their own. The texts I share with DH during the day are little highlights. I don't think I'd much like getting a text saying: "don't forget the carrots" without a little kiss at the end. I'd just feel like ramming the carrot somewhere else......

Question for peeps who don't use kisses in texts with DH: do you kiss when you see each other at the end of the day? Kiss good night?

Brusque

'Meter readings?'
'Phoned vet yet?'
'Flight delayed'

99% are 'helpful' reminders of things he thinks I ought to do and might forget (I don't).

I fill mine with emojis just to annoy him

Mine are similar to RingUpRingRingDown's DH.

MrsMorbius goes mad when I forget to put Love or XX on birthday/Christmas cards.

Also I am not sure if I have ever sent the first text. I only reply to texts.

Non existent

Aquifer, don't be sad, dh & I get in plenty of kisses in person, just don't feel the need to constantly reaffirm during our busy working day. If I want to connect with my dh when we are apart I will call and speak to him, text & email purely for practical stuff, that's the way we (and by the look of it) others on the thread work. Quite offended by you 'feeling sorry for me' Tbh.

Occasional kisses but we're both usually short and to the point when texting. Even the occasional 'love you' is just that!

We used to have a little symbol we made up when we were first dating which was two smiley faces in the middle of brackets like this ((((00)))) which meant hug, don't do it so much now we live together.

Usually texts are functional but both put a kiss on the end

Her: "im working monday, 3-8, tue 2-8, wed, 3-9, of thur n fri. Xx"
Me: "ok my love, we'll have to have a look at going out on thursday or friday then. Charity shopping, pub, park, whatever you fancy :) xx"
Her: "yeah ok xx"
Me: "or we could do all 3, park in the morning, pub lunch, shopping in the afternoon :) xx"
Her: "sounds like a plan xx"

We always have the xx at the end and have even sent a seperate txt when weve forgotten them, we're sad though.

I have to decipher dh's texts because he has predictive text on and doesn't know how to alter it. Last night's said "egging racist" which I later learned was supposed to say "fecking racist" about someone he met whilst out with the dog.

Simple, to the point, no kisses, perfect spelling and punctuation. That's both of us.

Definitely an individual thing. My DH doesn't text but sends facebook messages quite often - silly little lovehearts, affectionate messages, checking I'm ok, sometimes photos of what he's seen while out and about, and, yes, kisses.

I love getting messages from him.

Last 3 from DH

I am so fucked off with work. On my way home- bout 20 mins.

Is DS still up?

Wild sex or the footie?

I don't think I need to say it but the last one was a joke - he would never choose sex over a semi-final, or over any football actually.

Usually short & to the point, unless he or I are away-then they tend to be more lovey/dirty depending on the mood/length of time apart.

Last three:

'It's going to be a long weekend without you xx'

'Missing you xxx'

'Wish I'd seen it x' (a huge fuck off Raven)

We're pretty affectionate via text most days I guess. Kisses, tell each other things we've seen, etc.

DH always begins texts to me with my name, and signs off with his name.

Idiot.

Generally affectionate, often amusing. Much like the man himself.

Haven't had a text from DP since February
We use Facebook messenger a lot and mainly communicate using gifs and pictures of pusheen now.
