I accidentally broke up with a girl once. We had been dating a few weeks, and it was going OK. I was young and she was super cute, so I was ignoring a few red flags. This was early days of texting, if anyone remembers T9 Texting which was basically predictive numberpad texting. I forget the details, but she asked me about making plans for the weekend, and I was trying to write back “Oh Yeah” and accidentally selected “Oh Why” or something along those lines.
So she freaked out at me, made a whole big scene in public, dropped a bunch of insults, and never spoke to me again. As she was leaving, I was like, “But…” and she said “Save it.” and left.
I was with some friends who had been fully aware of the red flags, and they were all very supportive at every step. They thought I was going to marry her, and were planning an intervention. They were over the moon that I recognized the problem and ended it, and then gave me a ton of well-deserved shit for fucking it up with a text.
Later I met my now lovely wife and we have two beautiful children, so alls well that ends well. I still feel kind of bad for the mistake, though. Jess, if you’re reading this, my bad.
Well, good thing you didn’t follow up with it was a typo. Lol. It still happens today with my wife, no T9 nowadays but fkn autocorrect, mannn…I figured out that there is a setting to change how aggressive the autocorrect is without completely turning it off.
I have those generated quick replies and accidentally texted my wife “Good Job!” when she was letting me know that we had to transfer money between accounts to cover some bills. Like wtf auto-suggest?! How is that a “Good job” moment?
