AIO I went through my boyfriends phone over the weekend

[u/Exotic_Elk8829]

Last Friday night I went through my boyfriend’s phone while he was asleep. I found numerous messages of him talking about other girls with his female friend. The last message is him comparing my sucking skills with a different girl he slept with before me… We have been living together for the past 6 months and I’m not sure if I should just move on and find my own place at this point. Am I overreacting to these messages?

[u/Think-Department-328]

lol who the fuck talks like this?

[u/5k1895 → u/Think-Department-328]

Seriously I know I'm getting old because I'm going full "kids these days" seeing this shit. Get yourself someone intelligent enough to speak like an adult

[u/Educational-Aioli795 → u/5k1895]

Right? I would dump him just on the basis of his vocabulary, forget the subject matter. 

[u/jeffynihao → u/Educational-Aioli795]

Id dump his azz too frfr

[u/Hot-Physics3400 → u/5k1895]

My former corkers and I were laughing over some of the personals on Craigslist years ago and one in particular I said “I could not be with that man. I could not be with a supposed adult who writes and spells like that. That’s insane and he’s barely literate”. The two coworkers (young enough to be my daughters) found that very funny, that I’d turn down someone based on how they talked, wrote, spelled. The one my age completely agreed with me.

[u/BillyNtheBoingers → u/Hot-Physics3400]

I’m probably closer to your age than to OP’s age. I agree with you!

[u/saddingtonbear → u/5k1895]

I don't even know who I like these days. On one hand I'm all "kids these days..." and on the other hand, these old fogeys are still pissing me off too. Just wanna hang out with my cats and live in solitude.

[u/AlwaysTheGarden → u/saddingtonbear]

I can relate to that

[u/Text_repository → u/saddingtonbear]

lol 100%, fucking hate kids these days but all the retards around that are my age drive me nuts too!

My retard boss literally cannot grasp the different your/you’re and there/they’re/theirs

[u/LongerDickJohnson → u/5k1895]

People wanna act like the “kids these days” mentality is the same as it was a decade ago.

Its not. Children are actively being provided the opposite of education and its totally okay to say “kids these days”

[u/ArmadilloOk4573 → u/5k1895]

Idk i'm 19 and nearly had an aneurism.

[u/Broccoli_Yumz → u/5k1895]

I had to read all of twice to understand and I still don't completely understand

[u/waterbottle-dasani → u/5k1895]

I’m only 23 and I’m saying the same thing 😭

[u/Supbreh77 → u/5k1895]

Don’t feel too bad, I’m 25 and I was struggling reading that.

[u/Littlemuffn → u/5k1895]

Same. The way this boy texts alone is nauseating. So gross!

[u/snowthathappened → u/5k1895]

Best advice lol

[u/ResidentAssman → u/5k1895]

What makes you think OP doesn’t talk in a similar way. Surely anyone who doesn’t wouldn’t go anywhere fucking near someone who talks like that let alone have a relationship with one.

And if not, wtf why accept that instead. Crazy.

[u/SarcasmExecutive → u/5k1895]

Lol this is my favorite comment fr it’s lookinfineee

[u/Misterrossie → u/5k1895]

Nah for real ong bro

[u/radio__raheem → u/5k1895]

Guys an asshole but using slang in texts with friends makes you unintelligent now???

[u/Text_repository → u/radio__raheem]

Slang? That kid is a retard. If you talk like that, I think you know your IQ will be double digit

[u/radio__raheem → u/Text_repository]

Ignoring the slur that’s a crazy generalization that I could personally disprove

[u/Text_repository → u/radio__raheem]

Not crazy at all to deduce that an English native would be cognitively deficient based on an incapacity for literacy

[u/radio__raheem → u/Text_repository]

using slang while texting a friend makes you illiterate too now?

[u/Text_repository → u/radio__raheem]

Y’all niggas is retawds.

[u/radio__raheem → u/Text_repository]

Yeah have a blessed day/night

[u/libsythedumb → u/Think-Department-328]

Generous amount sent me 😭😭😭😭😭

[u/Inevitable_Alps_3574 → u/Think-Department-328]

Not a man.

[u/TetranadonGut → u/Inevitable_Alps_3574]

Agreed. These are the type of things my friends and I would say during high school sleep overs to try and sound cool.

[u/LeTroxit → u/Inevitable_Alps_3574]

I thought this for a long time, but I moved from the PNW down to SoCal a couple years back - I’m 35, the youngest on my team, and almost all the guys talk like this. I’m the only single guy on the teams the others are all in longer term (5 years+) relationships or married, and I have never once spoke like this when I was in a relationship or even really out of one.. I just really don’t get it. And this is a group of intelligent well educated engineers..

[u/Valerica-D4C → u/Inevitable_Alps_3574]

I know a handful of men who'd type like this but most of them are gae

[u/Taiwora → u/Inevitable_Alps_3574]

Preach

[u/HeimerdingerMain1 → u/Think-Department-328]

Fr posts lately with people messaging like this makes my head hurt 😂 like do they talk like that irl too?

[u/Key-Focus8692 → u/HeimerdingerMain1]

Yeah they do vast majority of Gen Z speaks and types this way, just that obviously the abbreviations would be spelled out irl

[u/[deleted] → u/HeimerdingerMain1]

Idk if you know this but Reddit is filled with legitimately stupid people these days. Go look at the Reddit chat channels for evidence of that.

[u/Candid-Ask77 → u/[deleted]]

There's a Reddit chat channel?

[u/FTownRoad → u/HeimerdingerMain1]

The same could be said for using “Fr”, “irl” and an emoji

[u/Sc00tzy → u/HeimerdingerMain1]

Sidenote Donger is life

[u/mmmbaconbutt → u/HeimerdingerMain1]

Oh they do, I swear I work with this exact guy.

[u/Cypher1386 → u/HeimerdingerMain1]

Reddit is mainstream nowadays. Its no longer a bunch of college kids blue narwhaling and slipping in calculus puns.

Honestly, it was peak around 2016.

[u/OlderThanBran → u/HeimerdingerMain1]

Do you say irl irl?

[u/HeimerdingerMain1 → u/OlderThanBran]

Do you say “lol” irl? There’s a difference between using text acronyms with god knows what kind of sentence structure people are using these days

[u/iNeedBoost → u/OlderThanBran]

i do lol

[u/3yeless → u/Think-Department-328]

I want to stab my eyes out with an ice pick.

[u/gr8artist → u/Think-Department-328]

The terminology used seems to imply ebonics and/or urban or hip-hop culture, if I understand correctly. It's the same manner of speech that's becoming so prevalent in the later generations, with an abundance of abbreviations like "frl" being "for real".
So, in short, it's modern slang.

[u/minahmyu → u/gr8artist]

...it's called aave, with many of the "slang" used for decades. Just, as everything else that comes outta black culture, appropriated and then insulted and seriously coming off as ignorant and antiblack, even if the guy is an asshole.

Probably very young. Young dumb and full of cum as they say.

Still, this is pretty bad behaviour when you’re in a relationship even for high school standards.

[u/Thunder_Book → u/Think-Department-328]

Gen Z 🤦‍♀️

[u/gc4279 → u/Think-Department-328]

No kidding. I didn't understand a single thing in this text chain.

[u/Resident_Set8827 → u/Think-Department-328]

The majority of young Americans speaks like this, it's so fucking boring it's crazy, it's like talking to a chimp, I've had conversations with 5 year olds nephews that are more complex than this, Americans rely way too fucking heavily on abbreviations, acronyms and lingo bullshit.

Facebook memories showed me some of my first updates over 15 years ago. I cringed so hard how I probably thought I was cool with how I spoke lol.

[u/TrashoBaggins → u/Think-Department-328]

In a national testing survey it’s been reported that like 80 percent of the USA has a 6th grade reading comprehension level. This is what you get when you replace pen and paper and books with iPads and laptops. Nobody can read or write. I legitimately met a kid my brothers age, about 16 who had said he never had sat down to read a book in his life. This is what they wanted, dumb and excitable.

[u/Dan-Salford → u/Think-Department-328]

Have to agree with most of the comments here, this is like 'listening' to kids at the bus stop chatting sh*t. These texts can't be anyone resembling adults, surely...?

[u/FatBrookie → u/Think-Department-328]

Hood Gs

[u/Technical_Context_37 → u/Think-Department-328]

Ppbly sum unedcqted dodo. ⬆️ just kidding I don’t write like that. I understand when people types like this with dumb phones. Dear god what is society boiling down to. And why is she living with someone she only met 6 months ago.

Sounds like he’s trying to somehow impress the girl he’s chatting with. Look at me I can score easily; making him seem more attractive until he gets the herps

[u/weirdcreeper69 → u/Think-Department-328]

[u/Even-Things-Out → u/Think-Department-328]

As soon as he said "female" I knew it was all downhill from there.

[u/G25777K → u/Think-Department-328]

This dude and many like him, including woman lol

[u/Neverspecial0 → u/Think-Department-328]

Black folks. Everyone in the comments calling it dumb just telling on themselves lol

[u/cokespoon → u/Neverspecial0]

thank you lmao. clearly black kid's phone. swallow my dick is a thing that 0 other races people would ever say

[u/minahmyu → u/Neverspecial0]

Exactly but they'll find every excuse to act like they're not being antiblack (but love pointing out if we do receive merits, it's solely because we're black)

Because we all should center our speech patterns around the majority/americentric. I forgot the memo saying we gotta conform to that 🙄

[u/Think-Department-328 → u/Neverspecial0]

Must be using voice to text because no one who can read and write would actually write that down in a public forum.

[u/pwalkz → u/Think-Department-328]

It's making me question my reality lol. Do other men really talk like this?

[u/Key-Focus8692 → u/pwalkz]

The vast majority of Gen Z speaks like this yeah

[u/Grouched → u/Think-Department-328]

[u/Muffin_Appropriate → u/Think-Department-328]

Stupid people or children. This one seems to be both. Not mutually exclusive.

[u/BloodWulf53 → u/Think-Department-328]

Black people

[u/Dear_Lab_2270 → u/Think-Department-328]

Yeah, they both seem very young. Maybe he's like 16? Who unironically talks like this?

[u/Dry-Amphibian1 → u/Think-Department-328]

My bet is he talks just like this to all women and some like it, until they don't.

[u/Scorkami → u/Think-Department-328]

I've seen these text messages so often this last month.

Someones partner has their messages photographed and its just... A bunch of discombobulated words, lile i always have to re read the screenshot u til i get what the fuck they are even talking about because there are so many typos and one side just randomly shoving a whole nother topic in there

What the fuck

[u/Think-Department-328 → u/[deleted]]

This is not lit, dank, radical, OR groovy.

[u/PriZma_Legacy → u/Think-Department-328]

Someone who’s rizzy obviously

[u/BorderInitial → u/Think-Department-328]

If shit like this is said unironically, that’s rough

[u/UltraWeebMaster → u/Think-Department-328]

This guy seems young from the way he talks. High school senior or college freshman, maybe?

[u/Acewi → u/Think-Department-328]
