I personally find it a bit rude. I get that family group chats can be annoying with so many people sending in messages, but i just think it comes off rude that he keeps “leaving” the chat and it notifies everyone. I’d rather him just mute the notifications. Everyone and their partners are in the chat because there’s lots of messages about birthdays/events/holidays so it just rubs me the wrong way when I see that he leaves every time someone tries to re-add him, also the fact that I have to fill him in on whatever event, when he could have just seen it for himself.
Small unimportant issue that I’m just curious of others opinions on lol

Is he actively leaving? This kept happening to my SIL with her iPhone, didn't matter how many times she was added again, it has something to do with phone settings

Depends on his relationship with your family. Maybe ask him why he prefers to be out of the group and ask people to stop adding him, not sure why people would insist hen seeing someone repeatedly leaving a group, for me it would be "mesaage heard", it's not a bug lol

Has anyone ever asked him if he actually wanted to be in a group chat? I hate being in group chats, the ones I need to be in are all muted and theres no one In them that ever asks why ive not replied to messages even though im "active" online. Thats the main reason im not in them, because replying to messages and mindlessly scrolling tiktok or other socials are not the same.

I’m not a group chat fan but even I stay in one for my side of the family and for my husbands side . If he really doesn’t like it he can hit mute but continuously leaving it I’d find rude asf and have a talk with him.

How long have you guys been together?
Is this on WhatsApp? I thought there was a new update where if you leave, nobody gets notified.
Who keeps re-adding him? And why?

Why’re you all re-adding him if he just leaves, I think that in itself shows you he doesn’t want to be in it.
I don’t think it’s that deep personally, I hate group chats too.

Hahahahaha thats such a vibe 😆

Unimportant issue, never even added my partner because I knew the notifications would just piss him off lol and he gets on with them all perfectly fine

Super rude! Just mute them

No, I hate it when people add me to group chats that I don’t really care to be in and am not active in. I tend to not be a people pleaser, so I feel like if he’s not wanting to be in it he shouldn’t have to and shouldn’t feel pressured to.

Sorry but why does he keep getting re-added? He doesn't want to be in the group. I didn't especially want to be in my partner's family group chat but I was added in. Other partners and spouses get added in with no consultation 😂
Also WhatsApp has a feature now where the only person who is notified of someone leaving is the admin.
Respectfully if he doesn't want to be in the group, stop re-adding him!

My daughters mute the extended family group chat w 13 of us on there. They don’t like all the dinging but we will tag their name if it’s important and they need to read it. But actually removing himself is very rude yeah. Tell him to just mute it? I also have a separate GC w just me and my sisters which we chat daily on there the bigger one is just for announcements and trying to delegate or plan gatherings

For work we use GroupMe for group chat so you don’t get text notifications. It’s less annoying if you are busy or just want to view the messages on your own time.

No. My husband hates when his phone goes off constantly and he also ask respectfully to not be added. My family all understands. I’m not any of the husband’s group chat and I’m okay with that too.
My family and his family are two different families. His side of the family is more independent/distant vs my family where we text a lot (mainly the siblings) and have family gatherings.

My husband isn’t in the group chat for his own family 😅 I am though. He hates the constant notifications and isn’t that big a fan of his family.
I’m completely estranged from mine so really don’t see an issue with him not wanting to be in the chat. I’m only in it to maintain some form of connection for our kids.
I would never add him to a group chat with my own family (if I wasn’t estranged), if there was something he needed to know, I could easily tell him. I especially wouldn’t be adding him if he’s expressed that he doesn’t want to be added and has tried to leave as many times as yours has. I think adding him back in is ruder.
