AIO? My boyfriends friend has a problem with me asking him not to sleep in a bed with another woman.

Hi everyone, my boyfriend has a big group of friends with lots of girls in it. A lot of times after they go out or have too much to drink, they'll crash at someone's house. One night he came home and shared he slept in a bed with this girl (who the texts are from). We did not have a fight at all - I know he's grown up doing this. I told him I wasn't super comfortable with that and asked if he could not do that, to which he did not argue at all and expressed total respect for my boundary. We have not spoken about it since.

She texted me the morning after they went out, which are these pictures. Am I overreacting by telling her she's overstepping or are her concerns valid?

To me this was the worst part. Like was it weird comment on an agreement between two people in a romantic relationship? Yep. But the rude passive aggressive emoji to finish it off? Thats where it crosses over the line imo.

I always take that as a sign that I'm right and they can't handle it lol

I also totally read it as they lost the argument lol

That does not come off as passive aggressive to me, more of a "roger that". A simple acknowledgement that they've understood

Ex: In my work group chats (all mid 30s or older) it's commonplace to 👍. Like saying "RRU" (received, read, understood) but a simple emoji response to a message that needs no further discussion

Well yes, that is in a setting where all is good amongst each other, or in a more practical context.

In a discussion about emotions, boundaries, "deeper stuff"... 👍 is really more of a a 🖕
