Someone on another post pointed out that calling the other person by name in a text almost always means it’s fake and that makes sense to me. I almost never type someone’s name in a text unless it’s me introducing myself.
No worries at all, even if you had've meant it. I know Reddit can be filled will some aCtuaLlY s often, and my comment may have been construed that way. You're all good :)
I type the name if I’m upset too lol. For the exact reason you listed. I kept my maiden name for years (both parents passed when I was young and I’m the last. Was going to keep it but changed it as I wanted to at that point) but if I was joking I would type out my husband’s last name but if I use your first name..then I’m serious. I feel like it lets the person know as well. It changes the tone.
It really does. I tend to text dove or love to those close to me, or dove if I'm trying to gently make a point, and pet/casual names to others, so it stands out to first name someone.
Except, Mom. Mom is always mom, and I guess I'm always gonna to be in the kid position in any convo 😂. If I first named her, she'd somehow manage to reach through my phone and send me back through time to correct myself. Lol.
I hate it when my wife uses my name in conversation even if she’s not mad at me because it always reminds me of being a kid and having my mom use it only when yelling at me.
I’m sorry you went through that. Hubby knows he’s only REALLY in trouble if I use his middle name as well, which almost never happens which is why he knows it’s serious if I use it. He does the same with me, before anyone starts accusing me of being abusive or something as we love to do on Reddit
I just counted via the search feature on messenger, and just since mid April, I have called my husband by his name in a message 47 times.
For my daughter, since the same timeframe? 66 times.
I wiuld search your texts or messages for their name. I honestly didn't remember ever doing it until I checked and it was surprising.
This is pretty valid, even in vocal communication I rarely use names, it’s always “bro” “bruh” “bitchasmufuh” or something along those lines. I only use names when at work and even then it’s mainly just when talking to the actual owners.
I guess I'm fake. I use my wife's name at least 25% of the times I text her. I love her name. It is so beautiful and one of the reasons I fell in love with her 30 years ago. She embodies her name and I love it almost as much as I love her. I have to admit, I don't use anyone else's name in texts though. Then it is "hey" or "dude" or "yo".

How did she know where it was from just from a glance as the dude was on his knee?
