> Don’t Interrupt. In text based messaging, interrupting doesn’t really matter. You can have two or three topics going at once and jump back and forth between them. It may not be ideal, but it’s not rude and it doesn’t kill the conversation.
in text messaging, interrupting absolutely matters. Ever get sucked into a serious/argument type discussion in texts with an angry gf? you'll never get a change to explain yourself.
I can handle verbal interruptions no problem, but don't ask/accuse me in text and then not wait for a response and instead just walk on what I'm trying to say with something new.
And I can handle threading, but you have to make sure to reply to a specific text and reply to the reply, and most people have no concept of what it takes to maintain a thread, no theory of mind as to what the other person is responding/trying to say
and as a side point, students giving teachers the finger because of covid? no, that is not a thing.

I learned over time that if you are ever in a relationship where you are put on the defensive and need to explain yourself, that’s probably a relationship that you shouldn’t be in.

Took me a very long time to learn this, but if your partner does not assume good intent, by default, and give you a chance to explain yourself (and vice versa), you’re in an abusive relationship and should get out. I’ve been in it, and it was awful and destroyed me for many years, and I couldn’t be happier to have found someone who treats me with respect now.
