Boyfriend and weird drunk texts

68 replies

AmIBeingStupid111 · 22/12/2019 10:45

Posted yesterday about ex texting me but how brilliant new boyfriend is.
But last night boyfriend was out drinking with his 2 friends and my last text to him at
11pm was "okay dokey, have a good night xxx"

I then woke up at 2am to a text saying
"Baby just like that, i'll be there"
And then another straight after saying
"Please just have a good night"
I sent back a confused face and he replied saying
"Tell (his friends name) to be ready"

I once again said "what?"
And asked him what the messages meant and he sent a picture of a bear with love heart eyes.
I told him i'm trying to sleep and wasnt finding this funny.

He phoned me and i asked what the "i'll be there, please just have a good night" meant and why i would "please just have a good night" and he said 'because youre my girlfriend",

But do they seem.dodgy to anyone else,
Im not a paranoid person but these messages have set my gut instinct off

He was drunk.... Is all I can see. These messages don't make any sense to me at all.
But I don't particularly like drunk ppl so I'd have made sure he knows not to contact me drunk.

I don't think those texts were meant for you.

Elmer83 · 22/12/2019 10:56

Do you think he was doing it on purpose to make you worried? I know that would be a horrible thing to do but if he knew about your ex texting you maybe he was trying to make you feel a little insecure 😟

BaronessBomburst · 22/12/2019 10:56

I also think he was texting someone else.

AmIBeingStupid111 · 22/12/2019 10:58

I sent him a text this morning saying "i'm really not happy, the messages last night were weird" and sent a screenshot of the ones i meant,
I feel psychotic sending it though

@Elmer83 no idea! But he talks about his ex a lot who lived in the same town as him and is probably home for christmas and she goes out a lot so i feel really paranoid and im not used to this feeling

I would also think they were meant for someone else.

AmIBeingStupid111 · 22/12/2019 11:00

Im glad other people think so because i was beginning to feel cuckoo

The texts that don't make sense to you were meant for someone else. He can't or won't explain them because he'd rather you were confused than he was incriminated. I'm betting he'll have a convenient bout of amnesia about the messages, as that's easier and more convincing than making up a story to explain them or telling the truth.

AmIBeingStupid111 · 22/12/2019 11:02

@ISmellBabies he'll probably do that but my bets are on that he's going to tell me i'm "overthinking it", they were "clearly meant for me" and i'm "accusing him"

They deffo sound like they were meant for someone else!

AmIBeingStupid111 · 22/12/2019 11:04

The "please just" in "please just have a good night" remind me of something you say to someone who's not enjoying themselves or annoyed about something and letting it ruin their night

It looks like he saw this ex (or some other woman) while he was out and she was having some drama with redacted friends name and he’s then tried to text her and tell her if she needs him he’ll come, and has made the thinly veiled threat at the redacted friends name as he is saying he will get in a fight with someone to defend her.

No explanation for why he called her baby, but that’s for him to explain.

KatsutheClockworkOctopus · 22/12/2019 11:07

I think they were meant for someone else.
I also think his anticipated response sounds worrying. Does he often deflect and try and make you feel stupid?

AmIBeingStupid111 · 22/12/2019 11:08

Nope he usually is really caring and would respond to something thats causing tension

They were for someone else

AmIBeingStupid111 · 22/12/2019 11:10

Gosh i feel so sick

OP posts:
AmIBeingStupid111 · 22/12/2019 11:12

Waiting for him to wake up and respond

OP posts:
QueenofPain · 22/12/2019 11:13

I think he realised he’d text you in error, and rang you to try and further pass himself off as drunk and incoherent so he could give his cover up more credibility.

How long have you been together? Is it worth saving?

You’re going to have this distrust and anxiety every time it seems like his ex might be in town now, or even every time he goes out drinking.
