Mind wondering in several d'rent directions

Hey girls,

I've not been on here in such a long while. But I'm in need of some advice or maybe just someone to listen.  Either is fine.  I have been dating this guy for about six months now and we get along great.  He lives in a differnt city than me, but bcus he works at nite on the weekends, I normally spend the nite with him.  Here's what has my mind wondering all over the place.....  He is a cop.  So, of course he knows a lot of women and granted he had a life before me, however he has REALLY friendly txt exchange with his female friends.  A few months ago he askd if i wanted to move in with him when my lease was up (6 months from now).  Not sure where our relationship will be then, but at the rate it going...maybe.  But then I begin thinking about these exchange of txt between him and the female friends.  But then again, I was thinking well if he asked me to live with him that would just lessen his chances of all the texting, bt then again he might just come up with more creative ways of doing it.....I don't know what to think

Re: Mind wondering in several d'rent directions

  • If it bothers you then you need to say something.

    How friendly is really friendly? Like "hey babe what's up" or "hey I'd like to see you naked without your uniform" kind of texts?

  • No, the test was from someone that asked hin to come over and check a water heater or something and when he never called or texted her back she txt him and said be careful how you treat friends you never know how you might need me... or something along those lines....

  • I don't take that as friendly, I take that as more of a "one day you might need me to do a favor for you and I won't because you wouldn't help me" kind of thing

  • We need more examples of these texts. The one you just supplied was terrible.  It sounds like the opposite of friendly.

    We're kind of going out.
  • That text could be taken a multitude of ways.  I agree with Melinda we need more examples...

    Agreed. I don't see anything wrong with that text message.

  • The only other text I have read was one from a "friend" that askd him to give her a massage and he repiled back, no ma'am.   But, I'm just wondering what kind of friends talk like that?  It's just weird to me, or its just all new to me.
  • Melinda,

    Thanks, I got my laugh for the day and it made me feel great!!!  I absolutely love your siggy!

  • I would just approach him about it if it's bugging you.  I have a friend (and I use the term loosely here) that sends me texts like that second one sometimes, despite me asking him not too.  I would never take part in it, but he thinks it's funny for some strange reason.  It might be the same kind of thing...the chick sends them, but your fella never reciprocates.  Just calmly ask him about it.  If he's worth keeping around, he'll be able to explain the situation and understand your feelings/concerns.

  • At first my reaction was "If he seems like he's doing some shady texting don't even bother with him" but after seeing your examples, it just showed that he has a friend/friends that say possibly (really impossible to tell just from the text) suggestive things, but in neither case did he "flirt" back or anything. I think you are overreacting.
  • I'd let him know that it bothers you. 

    My StbX did similar things which I let go but then it escalated quickly (next he took  her out to dinner (I'm not invited) met her at bars (I'm not invited), took her and others to an amusement park (I'm not invited) then asked me if it was okay that he shares a hotel with her while on business to save $$.

  • Sapphire,

    That's just my point exactly.  I'd rather stop it now, if there is something going on, I'd rather nip it in the bud, move on, etc..   I just hate to waste more of my time with someone else....
