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"
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

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

Re: Help in dispute needed
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
