Help in dispute needed

Post by Pandabear »

Dear all
Thank you for your attention.
I have been British for over 18 years, worked and lived in UK. Right now I am having a dispute with my boyfriend over symantics of our recent conversation. If you have time and care to take a couple of minutes to have a look, it would be much appreciated...

Grammar and punctuation are original with changed names. Please see below...

Little prehistory. He would like me to come to visit him.

Bf: "so much love that you come this evening?" 😍😍😍
Me: "so much love" πŸ’‹β€οΈ
Bf : "of course you are done with your things"
Me: " not tonight baby"

As a result my BF is accusing me with misleading him and saying that, in this conversation above, I promised him to come and now backing off.

Relationship is depending on your judgement πŸ™

Dear Joe,
Thank you for taking your time to reply to me.

Well, the goal was to emphasise what is the truth. The question is - was the answer misleading? I am well aware that I am still not a native speaker, and, being a self-reflecting person, able to say sorry. But I would like to hear someone elses opinion. And seeing that you are a teacher, gives me hope in understanding πŸ™ˆ

I would love to help but frankly your question is ambiguous. Could you please rewrite the conversation complete, in context, with punctuation and capitalisation?

Thank you :mrgreen:
