Interpret this text please - AITA?

[Anonymous]

I send a text to SO (dating six months) confirming that am available to get together next Sunday and actually am able to get together tomorrow as well if he is free - and my text says Yay! because it’s tough to find times to get together between work and kids and life.

He responds a hour later with a photo he took of a flower. No words. After two hours I texted that my feelings were hurt that he didn’t acknowledge my text or my efforts to find time to get together. We are both in our 50s. This is not the first time I have said this to him about his texts/texting style. AITA?

Also I hate texting with every fiber of my being and want to throw my phone in the ocean.

Why would you assume negative intent from a flower? Maybe he’s just an awkward texter. It doesn’t sound like he was trying to bail out of plans or anything.

This seems dramatic.

The appropriate response would be "So can you get together?" or "nice flower!"

Yes, YATA. He sent a nice flower pic. 1. Don't misinterpret it and 2. don't have a text argument because he didn't respond right away. Pick up the phone and talk.

Is he on the spectrum? He sounds like a poor communicator. This is not a good sign. Stop texting him and wait for him to reach out to you.

The flower pic is stupid with no follow up. He could have sent that and said he was thinking of you then responded to your offer yes, no, maybe later, or whatever. People like this are time wasters.

I am assuming the flower is beautiful. He was going about his day, saw a beautiful flower, thought of you, took a picture, sent it to you. And first response to talk about your hurt feelings?

I won't say yta but you are extremely immature and dramatic with a slight tendency towards the controlling.

You have a lot of poor behavior habits that given your age are not likely to change.

An inappropriate text doesn't mean OP has to send the "appropriate" response. A flower pic is as dumb as an emoji as a response, which is a non-response.

Your feelings were hurt? This isn’t going to work out, OP.

Then he should have said he was thinking about her. Why does she have to thank him for the flower and thought when he blatantly ignore her message?

OP said she confirmed plans that they made. What did you expect him to say - "yay" back to her. I don't there was anything else to say here.

OP confirmed plans. What did you want him to say back?

OP here. Hmm I am on the sensitive side but also I don’t understand just not responding here in some way with words?
