We also just sold our marital home at the end of January after being on the market for a year and a half. What a relief because it was also causing us financial stress, but it did give us something to communicate about. Now we don't have that common link although we also don't have that stress. Good luck with that.
It's funny that he thinks you're being "cold." I do agree with you though that texting can cause some things to be misinterpreted because of the lack of emotion. I've learned to say "I'm sorry you feel that I was being ______. That's not what I meant."
Keep up the good work!
