That's obnoxious. Why at midnight? And why pre-planned? That's probably not the reason he broke up with you, but it's a contributing factor. Let's imagine you're sleeping after a long, busy day. After you fall asleep, you hear beeping or you can feel your phone vibrate, just to see it's from your partner who sent you a text message. You've been receiving the same one for a few days at the same time. Obviously they suspect it's pre-planned, and they think, "They can't take the 5 seconds to send me a real text message?" And maybe it was because you used the word "love". "Love" is a strong word. Most people in relationships don't "love" each other. YDI for assuming he'd enjoy those needy-sounding texts.

I disagree with the fact that the OP would be woken up every night but I do believe that it would jut be plain annoying to receive the same text every night and know it's coming. It's not about the fact that she wanted to say I love you to her boyfriend every night, it's just like she was too lazy to vary it nightly so she preprogrammed it, thus taking out some of the meaning.

I think it's sweet. It's not like she's calling him to talk every night, and it's just a little reminder that she loves him each night, that would probably make him smile. If he's not in the mood, hitting 2 keys to delete it or just you know, not reading it at all, isn't a big effort. Hardly harassing or annoying. Some people need to get a grip on reality. Or get a gf/bf so you have some idea what it's like to have someone love you. I'm guessing from the sound of most of your comments you have no idea. A lot of people don't go to bed until after midnight, so it's stupid to assume she was waking him too. Take it into the cell phone store and ask them to fix it for you.

@#30 Maybe he's awake at midnight, or maybe he puts his phone on silent before going to sleep, like I do. I wouldn't assume that the texts wake him up. I have to agree that "slag" is a fantastic word, though.

You may have come across as clingy and smothering, depending on how long this relationship has gone on. Or it could have been something totally unrelated. Learn from it and move on. While you're trying to figure out how to stop it, send your ex a message that you're sorry about the texts, you're trying to get them stopped, etc., and you're not a psycho bitch trying to stalk him. Just be honest about your dilemma but make it clear you're respecting his space. In time you'll laugh about this.

Your message lost any true feeling once you automated it, is it too much bother for you to type out "I love you" every night? 8 letters and you can't be bothered?? Doesn't seem like you love him that much. Automated messaged are what companies use to piss everyone off telling them how much money they could save them on electricity or car insurance, not what someone uses to tell someone they love them.

Woo, represent Saskatchewan, even if you are a smothering gf

I think you should send him another text message saying that your sorry for the text messages he has been recieving from you and that you are trying to stop them but don't know how. But maybe he has changed his number already.

Turn off your phone at night, problen solved.

For a month?? you never thought that would get really annoying after say a week?
