Was that text for me?

Name changed.

Over my partners house, I’ve come upstairs to make a phone call. Literally only been up here 30 seconds when I get a text

“I could do you a very fun swap”.

Then straight after “sorry, wasn’t for you”

I’m now in the bathroom wondering what it meant and who it was for

Obviously I’m gunna ask him once he comes up.

I feel like I read this forum too much. I have no reason to not trust him but I’ve read too many posts on here about similar circumstances to know what this sometimes means

Swap of nude pics comes to mind ...

Petalflowers · 19/08/2018 21:28

Are you on your phone or partners?

Actually, it,could be totally innocent,,and someone reliased they had dialled the wrong number.

confusedfriend101013 · 19/08/2018 21:28

No I’d be suspicious too. “Could do you a very fun swap” and waiting till you are out the room to send the text. What the hell is that!? Very strange indeed. If there’s an innocent explanation then I’m sure he’ll give you it but you’re not wrong for being suspicious.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 19/08/2018 21:29

I didn’t automatically think cheater from that text

Labradoodliedoodoo · 19/08/2018 21:29

Could be innocent? Unsure

LuluBellaBlue · 19/08/2018 21:30

Pic swapping is what springs to mind.... Sad

Shutupsidney · 19/08/2018 21:30

Hmm, I'd be asking questions.

TammySwansonTwo · 19/08/2018 21:31

Don’t let him have too long to come up with an explanation. Ask him now, face to face, who is was for.

Kennycalmit · 19/08/2018 21:31

I’m on my mobile.

You’re right it probably is innocent. I have NO reason to not trust him

But I’ve read this forum too many times to know that on many occasions Fuckit is right, these kinda texts often mean swapping photos of some sort.

I would have no idea but it would irritate the hell out of me

Chuggachuggatoottoot · 19/08/2018 21:31

Bit confused. Who was the text from? Was it to your phone?

AnnieAnoniMoose · 19/08/2018 21:32

It’ll be interesting to see how he tries to explain that away,..

Shutupsidney · 19/08/2018 21:32

If it's innocent, the text that provoked that response will be on his phone for him to show you. ... or he could carry on about your insecurity and make it all about you, like a guilty fucker

happypoobum · 19/08/2018 21:32

Does he have explicit photos of you?

Autumnchill · 19/08/2018 21:32

Forget waiting for him to come up! Go downstairs and ask.

Kennycalmit · 19/08/2018 21:33

Bit confused. Who was the text from? Was it to your phone?

I came upstairs to quickly use my phone. Said I’d be down in a bit. I wasn’t upstairs 30 seconds when my boyfriend text me that text then another one straight after saying it wasn’t meant for me

MrsMozart · 19/08/2018 21:33

Anything else that could be an indicator?

Bigpizzalover · 19/08/2018 21:34

I would just ask him and go by his reaction. Could be as PP has said such as nude pics, but I have used pretty much the same phrase in response to boring grown up chats such as friend: ‘ I’ve such a busy day at work tomorrow’ Me: ‘I’ll swap it will be fun Wink’ - me meaning I have the day off with the kids, been sarcastic to friend. That text alone could look dodgy but in context it’s nothing of the sort.

Kennycalmit · 19/08/2018 21:34

Does he have explicit photos of you?

Yes

Forget waiting for him to come up! Go downstairs and ask

His parents are there

Chuggachuggatoottoot · 19/08/2018 21:35

Sorry sounds a bit iffy to me. I'd be asking him.

Kennycalmit · 19/08/2018 21:36

I’m in the bathroom and he’s now in the room. Im gunna go ask.

Fucksaaaake

I’m 99% sure it’s innocent but clearly this forum has made me paranoid/wise to know that’s not always the case Confused

OP posts:
Chuggachuggatoottoot · 19/08/2018 21:37

He's got explicit photo's of you??

Not good

Girlslikeme · 19/08/2018 21:37

Having been on online dating sites over the years, the word ‘fun’ would set off alarm bells for me.

knicksfan · 19/08/2018 21:38

I don't think you're being paranoid. I think he's up to something

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 19/08/2018 21:38

If this is innocent; he'll have the conversation that this should have been part of (and probably, by now, the response). So he'll be able to put your mind completely at rest.

Unfortunately from just this text; it's too devoid of context to know anything. It could be innocent or it could not be.
