Excuse me if this may sound like a silly question and topic. I’m American, and my boyfriend is Japanese. We recently started dating, and I’ve noticed that he doesn’t often say ‘goodnight’ via text, and when I say it over text, he doesn’t always respond back with it either. It’s not something that bothers me deeply; I’m more just curious whether this is a personal habit or something cultural. I’ve casually brought it up during our conversations and joked with him about it, but he hasn’t really given a clear answer. I understand he may prefer to say it in person, which I completely respect. I just find it really interesting and want to be mindful if anything.
