“ok.”
Often clippedA period after a short reply tends to read colder than the same word without it. Worth checking what came right before.

REAL DECODES
The period, decoded.
Full sentences, always punctuated
Just his styleSome people punctuate everything out of habit. If every text ends in a period, it's grammar, not attitude.
Suddenly formal after being casual
A shift to noticeGoing from loose and lowercase to clipped and punctuated mid-conversation can signal a mood change. The change is the tell.
“fine.”
Rarely actually fine"fine." with a period is the classic not-fine. There's something underneath — decode the message before it.

FAQ
More about texting punctuation.
Does a period at the end of a text mean he's mad?
Not always — it depends on his usual style and the context. A period from a normally-casual texter reads colder than from someone who always punctuates. DearHim reads it against his pattern.
Why does a period feel passive-aggressive over text?
Texting tone leans casual, so formal punctuation can register as distance or finality. It's a real effect, but easy to over-read without context.
Should I read into his punctuation?
A little — tone lives in the small stuff — but never in isolation. Pair it with what he said and how he usually texts. I'll do that for you.
Is this really free?
Yes — decoding it takes about 5 seconds with no signup. You only make an account if you want me to remember your conversations.
