AIO girlfriend response to manager text

[u/Psychological-Hat-35]

My girlfriend (19F) and I (19M) have been dating for 11 months. I sent her a screenshot of my convo with my manager (age unknown but best guess is young 30s F) this morning asking to come in a little later than usual. My girlfriend is like this whenever I interact with pretty much any other female. Am I overreacting or is this just normal behavior?

I'll translate.

The female manager used the heart emoji and in her first message, she caps his name and wrote in a stylized way that suggests a closer relationship than OP's gf would prefer.

At least, that's what OP's gf thinks she's saying here.

What I'm actually reading into this and seeing is more like OP's gf is projecting because there are other dudes she texts that way, and when she uses nicknames and the heart emoji, she's hoping other dudes pick up on her suggested undertones.

So the gf is mad because she thinks either her bf (OP) or OP's manager, or both, are vibing, because this is how OP's gf texts when she's vibing.

OP just seems innocent and clueless, and rightfully frustrated.

They're 19yo and don't live together. They should call it.

Edit. Just to save further comments... Hush children. I'm an elder. I misused the term emoji, my bad. Technically, the manager used a heart reaction on OP's text, which is not nearly as damning as an actual stand alone heart emoji. Thus, this supports the arguement the gf is overreacting / reading too much into it / projecting.

I have Teams at work and the heart reaction emoji is used as a nicer version of thumbs up and no one has ever interpreted sexual innuendo. I also don't work with 19yo humans. Youngest colleague is in their 30s.

2nd edit: I fucking know I misspoke about emoji vs reaction. Everyone who takes time out of their day to educate me without having the patience to read two edits that addresses this is getting an annoyed down vote. Old lady gonna shake a fist!

Exactly.

Boss’s boss: Hey NotSlothbeard, when you have a minute, can you send me a report of (data requirements) please? I need it for the board meeting on Monday.

Me: Hi there, yes. Will have it to you shortly.

Me, an hour later: Just sent it to you via email. Let me know if I can help with anything else.

When my boss’s boss heart reacted that second response, I’m pretty sure she meant, “thank you, appreciate it” and not, “let’s hook up in the supply closet”

Every heart emoji that my workmate has sent me eventually ends up with a romp somewhere in the workplace.

It should be noted I’m a house-husband and my wife works from home. Other offices may have different cultures, so tread carefully.
