If you sent a 'i love you' text to BF/GF and got this reply, what would you think?

[poiuyt1]

Say if you've been with your boyfriend/girlfriend for at least a year, you've both said the 'i love yous' at least 4-5 months ago and both have said it many times since.

 

 

What would you think or feel, if you sent your gf/bf a text with 'i love you' but just get a 'aww thats sweet' as a reply.

 

Would you expect a 'i love you too' or a bit more?

 

Would that type of reply bother you more if you haven't heard them saying those words for a while?

 

EDIT: But how about if he hadn't said 'i love you' to you in a month?

[believeme]

hmmm, maybe you just sent it out of the blue and they weren't expecting it and they thought it was sweet that you were thinking of them.

 

I wouldn't look into into much

Seeing as the "i love you"'s have been said many times by both many times in the past, and I receive the same message again, I would think the same thing "aww that's sweet", lol ........ because it IS sweet! lol. I don't see anything wrong with it, but that's just me.

Well I'm paranoid like crazy. If I got a response like that, especially if we had said it to each other several times in the past, I would be thinking that things are about to be over. I'd probably go and end things, thinking that's what he's about to do anyways. But that's just me.

I would think that she's happy. It all depends on the relationship, why doubt it if you are happy being with that person. A lot of times I feel that people expect the "I love you too" often.

[Unity]

If I hadn't heard the "I love you's" in a while and then got that reply, I would think something is up and I'd be asking my partner about it probably ..

I think people make the mistake of assuming that people pour a ton of thought into text messages. I certainly don't.

[Salicia]

I don't think that there was something wrong with the reply, especially if the "I love yous" have been said a lot before then. Just my two cents.

[poiuyt1]

thanks. But how about if he hadn't said 'i love you' to you in a month?

[sidehop]

thanks. But how about if he hadn't said 'i love you' to you in a month?

 

There may be a problem but that's hard to tell without getting an ideal of what the relationship is like.

lol, yes!!!! it's amazing how many problems would be solved if people stopped communicating through text and had face to face conversations!

[Fudgie]

I wouldn't read too much into it. It's just a text.

 

I'd see what he does in person when you say it to him then. You need to read his body language and facial expressions as WELL as what he says.

In my relationship, it wouldn't bother me. There are times I pour my heart out over text and get a simple smiley face back. Does it bother me? No. I say things because I feel it. Because I wantt o tell him..not because I expect to hear the same back.

 

Were you saying it in hopes of him saying it back? Can you not just express it to him witthout the expectation of it being returned?

 

I think you think its a problem because suddenly he is no longer saying it. The response itself in general I don't see the problem.

[poiuyt1]

Can you not just express it to him witthout the expectation of it being returned?

 

yes i can, but because he hasn't said it in a while its bothering me. I've said it a few times and haven't got it back.

[Mochajava]

I wouldn't be to concerned about a text but if that happened in person than I would wonder if something is going on.
