I have been sucked-in to the Text Messaging Trap with my WAW and it's very frustrating. It's an easy way for the side that Walked Away to maintain a barrier as a way to eliminate the guilt-factor for their actions. My WAW is the Queen of it and it drives me nuts because she actually admitted she was "too chicken S#*T" to talk on the phone or in person. It makes me lose so much respect for her and our relationship by it being reduced to a text message....especially when she texted me "I want to move on" after being together for 10 years.
I will say that if they are pleasant exchanges with the WAS then that's not all bad as mine were 50/50, some pleasant and some just flat-out hateful.....still drives me nuts. Anyway, I know the frustration and can definitely relate but if you want it to work, take solace in the fact that they are pleasant messages and not spiteful...you know, keeping the faith.
