Great job!

As far as a response to "Why didn't you answer?"

Fine: I'm not interested in talking to you on your way back from a date with someone else.

Not fine: I didn't need to answer because isn't this what you wanted, to be separated???

The first is a simple, direct report about you.

The second is passive aggressive, fight baiting, R talk.

Better: I often screen my calls. We should figure out a system for emergencies. Lots of people text 911 in case of emergencies, so I guess we could try that.

Hope your back starts feeling better!


Best,
Oldtimer
