Well in that case yes, you are likely part of a group text that he sends out. Good for you for not getting suckered in to thinking it means more than that.

While we were dating DH started a habit of saying "good morning beautiful" every day to me, in person or text. It made him stand out among a crowd of intimacy-fearing DC losers as a caring person. Sometimes when he wakes up in the middle of the night he says it in his sleep. Just to make sure, he says.

so it depends on context, op.


What is your DH like the other times of the day? And in general in your relationship? What are the downsides ? I hope you don't mind me asking. I am trying to figure out what type of guy is best for me next time around, and this kindness sounds wonderful. I am curious about the whole picture though. Thanks.


He is like that all the time. Very effusive and affectionate. Way more so than me, by temperament. The downsides are I cannot match him and sometimes feel guilty. He is intense where I am laid back. He would call and text me all the time at work etc, but I had to tell him to tone it down bc of the interruptions. But we are willing to work with each other. that is the main thing to look for: a man who can work through issues with you.

I married him, despite some serious flaws/red flags, because I knew he would be there for me and our kids. He made me happy and I love him more every day. Right now he is at home, SAHD to our toddler. I wish he brought more money in bc the pressures of being breadwinner are no fun, but he is really doing right by her right now.

I'm the originally quoted poster. PP, I love this and I'm happy for you. For me, this guy just killed me with patience and kindness. He waited for me to heal and smarten up after a crappy rebound relationship. We're somewhat opposite the PP. I'm the frenetic one. He is a mountain of calm and even keel. He is not what many folks would consider conventionally attractive, but he is the light of my life. It hit me like a thunderbolt when I realized that he made me happy. I'd never felt it like that in a relationship before.

I have done it for my wife, she has never reciprocated. Maybe it's because she lays in bed until the very last possible second and then runs around trying to get the kids ready for school.

Maybe if she dragged her lazy ass out of bed at a decent time....

Seems a little generic.

But if he is also sending them out to other people, wouldn't you know since in a group text you would get the other people's responses on your phone too?

My DH leave for work before I wake up. He send me one most mornings between 6-7 when he knows I'm waking up. What do I think of it? That it's thoughtful.

Interesting! I didn't know this was a "thing" but looking back, I see that it is. The "good morning" text is probably seen as a job... Send them out to multiple women to give them all the impression that you are thinking of them first thing in the morning.

If there is a child there's a mom. Where is she?

If it's from a guy I am not dating I would assume the same.

If I am dating him I start to think he's a clinger and will require way more work than I am willing to give.

I'm 26 and my boyfriend is 25 and he sends me a "good morning beautiful" text every morning when he leaves for work. I love it and dont see how it would mean a guy is a player....

I think it depends on the boyfriend. It can be a really nice thing when it's the right person.
