I wouldn't ask about it, as it would just allow him to make up an explanation and destroy evidence.

I would definitely check his phone when I first had the chance + drive buy his workplace next saturday.

I wouldn’t go to his workplace unless you want him to end the relationship. There would be no point anyway as if he’s there how is that going to put your mind at rest about the text.

I personally think the text is nothing to worry about simply because I’d think if you were saying you love someone then surely you’d put a kiss on the end?

You're basing your conclusion on the fact that he's not put a kiss emoji? I'm sorry but that's just stupid.
Myusernameisnotmyusernameno · 26/09/2021 16:56

Actually I agree with the others. He will deny it

Mistygeepurr · 26/09/2021 17:22

Yes we live together this is what is driving me insane I can't pinpoint any difference in his behaviour we went out lastnight 4 our reguler date night the only time I can think is these Saturdays where he is saying he's in work.totally has knocked me for six.his phone is with him all of the time but yet he doesn't get jumpy if a text goes off or anything.hes gone to his dad's 2 fix the fence this afternoon I did facetime him around 3 o'clock and he was there doing the shed he said he's going to stop of at his dad's local with him then head home.really don't know how I go about confronting him.

Mistygeepurr · 26/09/2021 17:25

Yep no x at the end just a plain I love u to and full stop.there was no difference in him when he arrived home either after sending the text message I think I was more baffled and felt awkward than him.

It’s weird that he spelled “too” wrong. To where? I wonder what the end of the text was going to be.

Howareyouflower · 26/09/2021 17:37

Could he have been replying to a relative? My grown up grandsons will say "I love you too" in reply to my texts.

Honestly it’s not that weird, a lot of people struggle with spelling.
Summerfun54321 · 26/09/2021 18:05

You only have to read a single MN thread to know that many, many people text with phone fumbles and typos 😂 unless he’s grammatically pedantic, I’d just leave it.

That was the end of the text message, hence the full stop - most ppl don't even bother with full stops - they're probably offensive now.
Walkingalot · 26/09/2021 18:38

Has he ever text you 'I love you'? More important, does he text random lovely dovey stuff? Can he spell too correctly, does he know the difference?

Beetlewing · 26/09/2021 18:45

If the 'to' is a typo, it's just as likely to have meant to have typed, "i'd love you to...." and he's gearing up to ask you to do something kinky

Myusernameisnotmyusernameno · 26/09/2021 18:54

@Mistygeepurr

Yes the thing is we hadn't messaged yesterday he left for work and I said I will give u a quick text later on your lunch break.so there was no exchange in messages from me to him.
I'm wondering if he meant to say I'd love you to (text me)
Tangledtresses · 26/09/2021 18:57

Might have been his work mates messing about? Hence the to instead of too

AFuturisticalSound · 26/09/2021 19:03

I don't understand the work thing, why would he pretend to go to work but not meet up with a hypothetical OW

He obviously isn't with that person so why wouldn't he text from work, why would he be lying about being at work?

I assume the OP knows if he knows the correct use of too and that he want meaning to type more words

girlmom21 · 26/09/2021 20:08

Just say 'what was with that random text you sent me earlier?'

You'll know straight away from his reaction whether it was intentional.

startingfromscratch · 26/09/2021 20:18

Check his phone? See if he's texting anyone else!

girlmom21 · 26/09/2021 20:19

@startingfromscratch

This is never good advice. If you're checking his phone before just talking to him your relationship is already over.
someonesomewhere7 · 26/09/2021 20:25

@girlmom21 that's very naive of you. If you confront he will lie and then rush to delete all evidence. And you'll be left a fool. I never support checking phones just out of insecurity, but when there are strong indicators of cheating I think it's justified.

Lilymossflower · 26/09/2021 20:45

Turn up to his work on saterday as a nice surprise on his lunch break , if you are really concerned xx

girlmom21 · 26/09/2021 20:46

@someonesomewhere7 what if she finds nothing? She'll just convince herself he's good at covering tracks.

I'd never check my DP's phone unless I was prepared to walk away from the relationship. It's a massive invasion of privacy.

bellabride · 26/09/2021 20:53

I opened this thread thinking that it was the spelling that was the issue.
Wouldn't blame you.

But if she walks away on suspicion only she'll only carry that tiny doubt that she might have been wrong. Evidence would give her closure. And if she finds nothing then he won't know and she can put it out of her mind.

Allwillbefine · 26/09/2021 22:15

Could it be predictive text? Like he’s written ‘I love you” and instead of hitting x he’s hit predictive text (I do this all the time and it will often add a short work like to or so after my text and I’ll send it without realising.
