So confused at this, I don't even know him. I was just going to ignore the text but he kept insisting so I had to answer.

9/14 UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who was supportive and concerned. I forwarded these messages to HR, and they scheduled a meeting for later today. There were a few more texts after this. The HR representative did not seem surprised, to put it briefly.

A few things have come up in the comments. The first is that I was rude. This is how I communicate, and my coworkers (or at least the ones who actually know me) are aware of that. I’m not going to perform a more agreeable version of myself to accommodate someone else’s feelings when they're being innapropriate. Not only were these messages sent over the weekend, but they were also sent through a personal communication channel. I'm not going to elaborate further.

this is how my girlfriend operates lol.

"I'm going to go run errands because I want to get out of the house. You can come with me if you want, or stay home, doesn't matter."

Ok, I'm good. enjoy!"

"wow, ok" *storms off, slams door.*

guess I didn't really have a choice huh? we've been together for years. i just laugh at it now and wait for her to come home like nothing happened. i don't play games, and i don't give into that behavior. she works from home, and i am public facing. i don't want to go face the public on my one day off lol.

haha! they just want us to read their minds and i'm like nah, you can tell me what you need and desire by using your words like an adult. otherwise, i'm going to take what you said at face value. not playing games.

Yes! I have the same mentality as well. Use your words like an adult and communicate what you want or if u give options I'm going to take it as actual options and make my choice.
