MHL said he was "coming across like a jerk when he didn't respond, and 25mlc told him to "stop ignoring her texts." That's what I was disagreeing with.
Dark is dark, and it is neither rude nor jerky if one explains -- precisely ONCE -- to the walkaway why they're doing it.
I thought Denver was wise to avoid his wife's baiting texts.
Starsky
I said to answer her ONCE, politely so she'd know he wasn't being petty.
(unless the question needs an answer. I thought the 'left the glasses at the house' wasn't weird and deserved an answer...or the owner of the glasses did...)
But going dim or dark is what I think would be a real 180 and MIGHT help.
It seems to get her attention...
Denver simply has to find that balance between going dark/dim and
not being a jerk or looking like the old Denver.
That can be a challenge
but aren't we all finding some sort of fine line at these times?
Thanks for clarifying, 25 -- makes sense, and don't get me wrong: I thought the rest of your advice has been spot-on.
