He text me this morning and I replied.
He sent me a video of a song we always sing and I replied then he text saying
"Right enough of this texting please,it's too early for this carry on"
So basically shut up and stop messaging
So I just replied jokingly saying
"Ha ha ok il try and keep my mouth shut "
(We always say I talk too much in life "
And he replied "we can live In hope"
I didn't reply
It was 8am and he had just got to work BUT he messaged me.
Would that annoy you ?

Do you usually suffer from the inability to read sarcasm?

coldandheart · 19/11/2019 11:08

He wasn't being sarcastic ...he was telling me to stop messaging him.

It sounds like you both joke about chatting too much like this normally. You have joked that you talk too much yourself.

Why have you decided you don't like it now? (Are there other signs that are worrying you?)

Aposterhasnoname · 19/11/2019 11:09

No, it sounds like a joke to me.

coldandheart · 19/11/2019 11:09

That was the first time he ever said stop messaging him.
I thought it was a bit rude

HulksPurplePanties · 19/11/2019 11:09

No, he was being sarcastic. Or else he hates you and finds you annoying. In which case I'm not sure why he would be dating you.

coldandheart · 19/11/2019 11:10

Maybe I'm reading too much into it.
He hasn't text since tho,I won't text him till he texts me.

I think he was just being silly. And had to get to work. Kind of depends what he's like otherwise.

NorthEndGal · 19/11/2019 11:10

I would not have read it in that tone, it sounds like he was kidding around with you, and now he is at work and needs to focus.

BlackSwanGreen · 19/11/2019 11:10

Lighten up OP!

BorisJohnsonsModelBus · 19/11/2019 11:11

It's usually quite busy when you first get to work. He was probably saying he needed to get on.

TinklyLittleLaugh · 19/11/2019 11:11

Sounds to me like he was joking OP.

And I would never stand for someone telling me to shut up in a serious way.

category12 · 19/11/2019 11:13

Sounds like something and nothing. Maybe he's annoyed, you seem annoyed. Seems trivial to fall out over.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 19/11/2019 11:13

If this is not part of a bigger pattern I'd leave it. I often think it's difficult to read in a text conversation when it's come to an end, rather than in RL where it's more obvious.

DioneTheDiabolist · 19/11/2019 11:13

He didnt tell you to shut up OP. You should ump him anyway as you sound like a melter.

coldandheart · 19/11/2019 11:14

My reply before his wasn't even a question.
I was just said "oh your taste In music is worse than mine ha "
So he didn't even have to reply ...that's when he said enough of this texting carry on

OP posts:
Slappadabass · 19/11/2019 11:15

He was obviously joking, your reading way way too much into it.

He hasn't told you to shut up at all.

FredaFrogspawn · 19/11/2019 11:17

I wish I had the courage to send that to a dear friend who I love. She annoys the shit out of me with her inability to text briefly and take a hint (that I am too busy for this).

I don’t think it means he doesn’t care for you, fancy you whatever. Just that he’s not a back and forth texter.

coldandheart · 19/11/2019 11:18

Some days he is a big and forth texter
More times than he isn't
It's always on his terms tho by the looks of it.

There you go OP. Next time he texts you just ignore him completely. Hmm

Personally I'd tell him not to bloody text then if he doesnt want a reply. Then have a RL conversation later about how the tone of texts can not come across properly.

coldandheart · 19/11/2019 11:40

I'm not gonna say a word all day.
He knows where i am when he wants to chat.

Are you 12 😂

OurChristmasMiracle · 19/11/2019 11:59

When I’m busy at work I simply message my boyfriend “just got into work, will message you later, have a good day” that way no ones upset. He will message me with similar.

But it does sound like he was trying to be light hearted and jokey whilst also letting you know he was busy.

coldandheart · 19/11/2019 12:01

I think I'm just too over sensitive.
I probably will give him a text tonight when he's home from work.
No point causing a massive drama over that.

Bloody hell OP.

Do you like this guy, because he won’t be around long if you keep these antics up
