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?

Fuzzywizard, if you add Black books and Father Ted quotes that's me and my husband too. I love Pusheen. Grin

FuzzyWizard · 07/07/2016 15:14

Glastokitty- at least I'm not alone! Grin

Scaffleen · 07/07/2016 18:17

My husband always puts a x after every text. He never does romantic texts. It's usually "what's for dinner. X" I on the other have never put a kiss. I've seen his texts to his mates and some he also puts a x after but there are normally at least 3! Don't know if I should be worried!

MarkRuffaloCrumble · 07/07/2016 18:25

I get kisses, kissing/heart emojis and the occasional smattering of filth. DP texts once or twice a day at work and maybe more if he's away, but we always FaceTime every day we're not together 😊💏💕😍😘

karenjkayjay · 07/07/2016 18:34

No

karenjkayjay · 07/07/2016 18:34

No

IneedAdinosaurNickname · 07/07/2016 18:37

Lots and lots and lots of them. I woke up the other morning to 6 messages. Always lots of kisses and 'baby' 'sweet cheeks' etc. But it's a fairly new relationship so that might be why.

He uses your even when he means you're AngryGrin

mummaAJL · 07/07/2016 18:39

This is as close to soppy as I get from my hubby via text. On the rare occasions he goes romantic it knocks me back 😂

mummaAJL · 07/07/2016 18:41

P.s went for the convo above as rest was either dull or filth 😂

Longdistance · 07/07/2016 18:46

Nothing really.

I'll text and get silence.

If I do get a text it has a X on the end.

But bored of it now, which sums up my marriage really 🙄

TheOddity · 07/07/2016 18:49

We communicate mainly by photos when I actually look. Also I put kisses and he doesn't. I think I'm gonna drop mine now actually Grin

luckiestgirl · 07/07/2016 19:05

mumma- I've just scrolled through mine and its either dull or filth. I ALMOST screenshot it but I don't think MN is really the place. For dull, or filth.

GreenShadow · 07/07/2016 20:01

My DH doesn't even text, so could be worse....

He doesn't have his own phone, only a work one which he rarely turns on (!). If I try sending him something, the chances are he won't receive it and I'll see him face-to-face before he reads it.

VeryFoolishFay · 08/07/2016 00:26

A highlight from Monday:

Me: I've just trimmed my weigela, looks much better xxx
Him: Pervert xxx

(obviously I set this up purposely!)

VeryFoolishFay · 08/07/2016 00:29

And later on

Me: How are the new pants I bought you? xxx
Him: Quite snug, briefer than usual but comfy, thank you xxx

chipmonkey · 08/07/2016 06:18

Dh, who sadly died in April, was very monosyballic in texts despite being a writer of novels. I frequently got "K" as an answer if I asked him to do something!

FeedMyFaceWithJaffaCakes · 08/07/2016 06:27

I get a bit of both.
We were in a LDR for four years so became very adapted to texting!
There's always kisses, most of the time three , except if he's answering my question then maybe just one or none and he sends them separately!
Still plenty of sexting too, then boring things like can you get milk, what time to collect him from his commuter train etc. And little ones to tell me he loves me.
Together nearly 6 years, can't be doing much wrong. :)

Love seeing the vast differences it seems whatever works for you just works then.

Psycobabble · 08/07/2016 10:54

Don't really get kisses from him and now I think about it it's weird ain't it putting kisses I think as phones have evolved and texts are part of longer conversations more rather than just maybe sending one text and kind of signing off with "xx" so yeh never puts kisses though he does say love you quite a lot and send smile and other daft emoticon things

bellie710 · 09/07/2016 00:11

My DH works away from home week on week off, when he is away he will only phone if he wants/needs something he would NEVER put a X on any message to a man! I speak to him once maybe twice, he is so busy that I don't phone him unless it is something really important or the kids want to tell him something

musicposy · 09/07/2016 01:02

Background to this; DH works at Gatwick, my mum was in hospital (but is good now, thankfully).

DH does not do long texts or hearts and flowers. He does, however, send me random and bizarre snippets of information. I don't mind the lack of xxx. He's been making me laugh for many years now Smile

Hushabyelullaby · 09/07/2016 01:46

Yes, no and ok seem to cover pretty much everything with my DH. No kiss at the end, but then he doesn't show emotion at all really (always been this way so nothing has changed!)

WomanActually · 09/07/2016 02:01

Every morning at 8am.

Him "morning Hun, love you xxx"
Me " morning Cunt, xxx"

Is it bad that all I have to press is the m and my phone knows what I'm gong to say next and adds "orning cunt xxx" for me? Blush

Sometimes if he's doing the driving he doesn't get to text me so I'll send him one saying "oi cunt xx"

Every now and then he will send one on an afternoon
"What you doing? Xx" if I'm bored I'll say "the milkman" or something daft.

When I had breast lump removed and going through paperwork with nurse before hand, she took dhs name etc, then asked if it's ok to access mobile in my bag to contact him if needed, (was already in locker so I couldnt get to to it) had to bullshit and say I didn't have his number saved so gave it to her to write down, all my family are saved under daft names and Dh used to be saved under cunt.

I love dh and don't think he's actually a cunt. It's a joke that stuck with us, step brother once left nasty messages to me after dad died in which he gave everyone of my family a nasty name which we all adopted as pet names for each other rather than let him upset me. Didn't fancy the nurse scrolling through my phone wondering why "arselicker" "bald bastard" and "cunt" where the top three contacts in my phone...

MagnifiMad · 09/07/2016 02:37

I tend to write full sentences and explanations. He writes one worders and abbreviations. No kisses.

We did have some romantic type conversations in our early days but he also had a phone that was rubbish at receiving texts and worked in a building with crap reception etc etc so we didn't continue on that path!

I like to send emojis also now and again.
