Just told me he loves me...

Ok, so my boyfriend (of 5 months) and I were having a really minor text argument because he's out with the guys and forgot to text me to say goodnight....maybe silly but it's just a thing we always do. So I text him to ask him where my goodnight text was...about half an hour later he text back saying he'd only just got my text and was in a club with really crap reception and he had planned to text me when he was on his way home...I got a bit annoyed at this, saying that if he managed to receive my text then there was obviously some reception in the club..and it doesn't take long to say goodnight by text.
After a few texts back and forth he decides to end one text with 'x love you x'.

This is the first time he's ever used the L word. To be completely honest, I love him too, just haven't had the guts to say it because I didn't know if he felt the same way. However, now I feel a little bit annoyed because I feel like he only said it because I was upset with him....am I being silly?

Sorry for the really long post!

Maybe he just felt like arguing over a simple goodnight wasnt worth the relationship you two share. Thus by saying he loves you could just mean you are very special to him. Sometimes couples fight over the stupidest things and a simple i love you solves the problem. I think fighting over a goodnight is not worth the hassle yeah its your thing but dont get silly over it! I mean if you want some reassurance why dont you ask him, did you really mean what you said? Might be an awfully good time to tell him how you feel. Im sure neither one of you wouldnt mind being reassured. Its nice to be told you are loved.

I think you need to chill, maybe you scared him with your possesive ways so he said 'love you' to make you calm down a bit

Loads of people sign it on texts; I don't think I would class this as having said it 'properly'.

Yes have to agree.

If he cared he would have texted you to say goodnight. Dump him. Furthermore he still goes on "lads nights out". Dear god. He has a girlfriend what does he need a social life for. DUMP.

Next relationship make your texting requirements clear from the start to avoid disappointment.

Don't get ur knickers in a twist. He needs to say it to your face anyway for it to count. And you need to be a little less possessive!

Exactly! my boyfriend of 3 year doesn't always reply to my texts or text me good night when he is away does that mean that i should dump him too? :p:

OP

Ok, I forgot to say a few things.

Now it's the morning I can see I was being a little bit crazy but it was just because earlier on during the day he SAID he was going to text me to say goodnight....I didn't ask him to, and before he said it I wouldn't have expected him to. It's not like I can't go sleep at night without having a text from him.... and I do appreciate he was on a night out with the guys and I trust him 100% - that has nothing to do with it. It was simply because he said he was going to do something and then he didn't. Also, I guess it's the fact that I don't view 'I love you' as just a throw away comment, and I want him to mean it 'cause I do really like him. Just surprised me a bit that's all.

Anyway, I'm going to stop over-analysing it!

Wow..... You're busting his balls over... A TEXT MESSAGE. He didn't even forget, he was going to do it later! More importantly, who cares if he said he was going to do it, ITS A TEXT MESSAGE. Jesus, Possesive much? Get a grip and stop being so over the top!
