We're joking around on the text. I told him I feel sloppy.
Then we discussed about what "sloppy" means. He loves to use this word all the time.
I know it means like tired or sleepy... Then he screenshot the Urban dictionary website of what sloppy means.
It says, "A Girl who is the one that you smile at and she sucks your d**. This is the one that you dont have to put any effort into, and you know she wants it. This is not a girl you have to talk to and get to know, this is the one that your see at a party drunk off her *** and no spitting game is needed."

He said this is what he thinks everytime he says the word "sloppy" to me.
I jokingly texted him that he better not referring that to me bc I'm not and it's not right!

He said: "I thought it's right all the time 😉"
I was pissed! And I said: "No. that I'm not that kind of girls"
He said: "hahaha just kidding"
I said: "It's inappropriate even though it's a joke"
He said: "??"

So I left it like that. Then 10 mins later he texted me
Him: So, are you still sloppy?"
Me: "It depends on what "sloppy" you mean.
Him: "really? Still mad at me? 😢"
Me: I'm not mad but I feel bad that you disrespected me. I know you're joking, but I'm not 100% sure if you're really joking or you mean by it that I'm a sloppy girl which I'm not. That's why I feel disrespectful from you so much."

He told me he didn't think that I was serious and he apologized from his misbehaving words. He told me he won't joke with me from now on.

I told him that I didn't mean that he should stop joking to me. I love when we're joking to each other... but I want him to know the limit.
I also told him that don't stop joking to me.

he hasn't texted me back anything for a day already

Was I overreacting?
Should I wait for him until he texts me or I should text him first?


P.S. I'm libra girl and he's aquarius guy, pisces moon and venus

I remember when the Aqua and I first got together. He used to call me his dog. All the ladies were like: OMG that's so disrespectful You aren't his dog. What an ass.

I was like, but I am a dog. A Springer Spaniel by nature. That was a running joke for years. He was a Wolfhound and I was a Springer Spaniel.
Yep, I love private jokes that only yall get and no one else does.

Thanks guys...
Im not that sensitive ( I guess). He calls me "dog" for my nickname and it's a joke. I'm ok with that.
But I feel like calling me "sloppy" or "whore" is too much. This is my 1st relationship... And of course, I'm not a whore. So joking in this topic is sensitive to me. He can joke about something else and I'm fine with that.

3 days ago, I called him "small boy" in my lang. He was mad at me. So I feel like there are certain pts or levels that either me and him don't like.
He has a right to tell me that he doesn't like me to call him "small boy". Therefore, I have a right to say so.

When he told me he didn't like my joke, I apologized and let it go.
Once I told him that I didn't like his joke and I found it disrespectful... POOF, he's gone!
I find this unfair (my Libra sun maybe)...

Of course, I love private joke, and we did all the time BUT not this kind of joke like I'm a sloppy girl.


So do you guys have any ideas why he disappears?
Should I contact him first or leave him alone?

Since you're the one who got upset, it's up to you to reach out to him. He needs to know everything's okay between yall. I wouldn't mention the "joke" again, he probably won't do it anymore. Just act like things are normal. Beware that he's going to be a little afraid to tease and joke with you now, but he'll come around.
Thank you Truecap 🙂

Idk why he suddenly disappears. I didn't make it emotional. I told him a reason why I didn't like it. Looks like he can't deal when I call him out.

+1000. He was out of line! That's very disrespectful. Might I add very blunt as well in the name of joke. That's like calling someone a disease ridden trash and then saying I was joking. If he's going to play the victim and say "I won't joke with you anymore" then you respond with "you need to work on your jokes if your definition of jokes is to be disrespectful".

Most guys act like princesses when you rightfully call them out. There's a blunt card that says "don't you hate it when you rightfully call someone out and they make you out to be the bad guy". Screw these immature type of guys.

Thank you!! btw, I have leo moon too.
That's why I told him I wasn't 100% sure that he's really joking or he meant by it that I'm a sloppy girl.
It's been 2 days already that he hasn't texted me back.

I explained to him that I didn't mean he shouldn't joke with me from now on after he sent me that text. I love when we're joking. I tried to be normal and playful after he's apologized to me via text. Actually, I wasn't that mad, but I just wanted him to know the limit of joking. I'm pretty sure if the table turns, he will be mad at me REALLY BAD.

I still keep thinking about I should do next. Should I text him or leave him alone. Sometimes, I feel guilty that I shouldn't bring this up, but another time I think I did the right thing. ARRRR!! That's hard!
And of course, I'm trying to stop myself contacting him.

"You did nothing wrong for calling him out for something disrespectful he said to you UNLESS you have been behaving like the definition he put forth. If you have self-respect, you shouldn't/ wouldn't message him until he shows remorse and explains where he got the audacity to make a statement like this to you. Some guys really don't know where to draw the line. I would say that at 25 he should have a filter. Even if he thinks of you that way, he shouldn't have said that to you. And as for not thinking like this about you, he still shouldn't have said that. Let him feel bad and explain his inappropriate "joke".

See, here's the thing. If you know you're not like that and they know you're not like that, then what was there to get upset with?
Unless, she does behave like that and knows she does and then he said it, then she got upset because he was calling her what she does.

So, OP, why did it upset you so much if you know you're not that kind of girl and you both know you don't act like that kind of girl? If you're not that kind of girl and don't act like a "sloppy" girl, then you should have instinctly known he wasn't literally calling you that.

Soooooo....examine WHY it upset you so much that he said it. Feeling guilty about something? Otherwise, why the over sensitivity?

I would have to strongly disagree with that. I may not be a whore but if a guy calls me a whore, I'd be offended just teh same because the word is derogatory. If a guy says I'm a filthy trash whore and then slaps the joke stamp on it, doesn't mean I'm okay with comments like that. Like I said before, the only way his comment is justifiable is if the OP is the definition he presented. OP, are you telling us the whole story?

As an aqua girl if some guy told me that shit, it's over!! Lol

And I meant his life.

😆

Most Aqua's would be this way. They don't mind even being dirty or talking but there are limits... and to text you the definition like that. He basically had some thought that it was a good idea and had something behind it.

Aqua's hate being called easy.

One thing for sure, I always put certain boundaries for jokes in the beginning of the dating scene. So he knows what line not to cross.. If you let it happen, Aqua dude can and will walk all over you.

This is coming from other Aqua women, it's not okay.
Thanks dear to support me. I know that I'm not that strong. I always try to blame myself if I did too much or not. But as you guys said I did the right thing... it makes me feel much better.

I'm gonna wait until he contacts me and I definitely will not text him first! I need to stand my ground. And he needs to learn how to joke with me.

Thanks guys

My point. If you aren't like that you shouldn't have got so mad. You just draw your line like "you know I'm not the one, don't play with me like that." Then drop it so he knows case closed don't do it again and move on to the next lighthearted topic. People forget it's not even the convo that's the problem it's the energy after that you create.
click to expand

You know what. I already dropped it. I'm here asking people bc I don't know if I overreacted to him or not. Also, he hasn't texted me back since then (2 days).
The last text I sent him is telling him I love to joke with him, and I don't want him to stop joking from now on like he said. I also sent him a kissing sticker in the message. I already dropped it... but he hasn't texted me back since then is what I'm worried about.

Idk if he's mad bc I confronted him about his joke or if I overreacted to him by telling him I feel disrespectful from him.
And what should I do next

I don't know either if I should apologized to him or not. Of course, I don't like this silence that he's doing to me. It makes me think that I shouldn't take it serious in the first place. But my mind told me that time that I should let him know that I felt offensive from his words even I know he's joking. I needed to prove myself to him that I'm not like that. I needed to let him know that I don't like his joke that telling me I'm a sloppy girl. I have a right to say it. I will do it to my friends too.

I'm regret from what I told him, but also proud of myself that I told him. I know it's confusing.

To people who said I shouldn't get mad if I'm not sloppy girl. Well, I should be mad bc I'm not that kind of girl. It's like someone blame you for something that you didn't do.

Of course, I miss him so bad. Of course, sometimes I feel like I did the wrong thing. But people here make me more confident from what I have done.
Sometimes, you need to set the ground rule to the relationship. I didn't confront him all the time. I let something that bothered me pass...

So hopefully he will come back soon. I won't disappear like him if the table turns for sure. So that's why I'm so confused why he's doing this to me.

Contact him. Don't apologize. Don't mention it. You said your piece to him. Now move on with him as if it never happened. Lets him know youve dropped it. Send him a meme or something he will think is funny.

But I really think you should reach out in a friendly way because he thinks you're mad at him. Maybe you are, but if you want to salvage the relationship, I honestly think you should reach out. Once, anyway.

When I get upset with my aqua guy, he waits on me to reach out. After he sees the waters are friendly again, he'll usually apologize. Sometimes right away, sometimes after a while.

He could just text "ok" for my last text and everything will be back to normal. What he chose to do is silence treatment.
In the last texts, I told him I didn't mean to make him feel uncomfortable. I love when we're joking. There are certain pts for me and also him that we don't like to joke about. If I say something that he doesn't like, I learn from it and I won't do it. That's why I told him what I felt about his joke. And I don't want him to stop joking with me.

From my vantage point, far away from the details of your story, I'm seeing something here that's familiar in my rship with my Aqua.

He was probably just playing. And you did the right thing by stating your boundaries. But he got butthurt because HEknee he was just playing, and you took it personally.

In my experience, having dealt with a young Aquarius and coming through the other side, what he is doing is manipulating behavior. Ine had a superior knack for turning the tables on me, making me look like (and feel like) the bad guy when I stood up to him like that.

Especially when I was right.

It took a long time, but I eventually refused to take the bait, and sometimes verbalizrd to him that I wasn't going to let him get away with making ME feel bad for something that HE did. Once he started to realize that it didn't work anymore, he quit doing it for the most part. When we get into heated arguments, he reverts back to that pattern, but I can recognize it now and can anticipate how I'm going to react to it.

I'm not saying that you should do the same, and I'm not really sure how YOU should deal with him, but I recognize his behavior and it may be hiw he reacts to conflict. Just bear in mind that it may be that way for a while, until he matures past it.

I think the advice you've been given is as good as any. Just don't take the bait.

I planned to text him tomorrow... BUT, as you guys know about aquarius; he reappeared today and text me that he's cooking and watching my fav golf player.
I felt so relieve! So I texted him back like normal and not bring back our argument. Hope everything will be alright.

Thank you very much EVERYBODY especially Truecap ,heartofsag, aquarius09, sultrykitty.

I will see if he came back just to be friendly or he still wanna be in a relationship.

I thought it was funny, but also cute at the same time. It was teasing.
I would text him back if you cared. He may be worried he now has to walk on eggshells all the time. He may be reeling back and thinking on things. He may have moved on and marked it as something he doesn't wish to have to hold back for who knows how long in his life...as he probably was hoping you would counter something clever back.
If you contact him, you will at least know if he responds. Also, if he does miss you, contacting him first will really make an impression.
Being blown off, you at least know.
