Why did he put lmao?

[Anonymous]

I sent my boyfriend this video and his reply was lmao and he also put haha as the little icon.. anyways just curious why he does that? Obviously I did ask him and just waiting on his reply. I am working on not reacting so fast to things through text. It does bother me because I feel like I cannot share things with him because I get replies like these

Just show some restraint and don’t fire off the second that text hits your phone. You can do it.

Also, if you already know that you can’t share things like this with him because of the response you’ll get and know that you won’t like it then why even do it?

That is something I need to learn not to do. It was just in the moment but thank you you’re right about that

Some people do this sort of thing habitually, although LOL is more common, because they somehow think it's proper grammar or something like that. I agree with you that it's very annoying.

True could be out of habit. Just have to learn not to share too many things. I’m learning not to react so fast

Are you trying to convert him?

[Asker]

No, I just wanted to share the type of videos I find interesting. I know him and I don’t see eye to eye on certain things. I believe in Jesus and he is more spiritual but I don’t reply like that to certain videos he sends me

So why don’t you just tell him that he’s hurting your feelings by responding in a way that makes it sound like he doesn’t respect your beliefs?
