Yes, I agree you are engaging FAR too much in that convo above..don't beat yourself up, but do learn from it and change your approach next time.

Your W has left the R - but as soon as she suggests you may be a bit cold, you come running! The best thing to say would have been 'I'm sorry you feel that way' or 'no, just busy today' - work on your pleasant 4/5 word responses and stick to business (car) with the odd validation..

Lengthy text convos like the one above, which touch on how are we relating to eachother, are not a good idea. Be minimally available...

You're making progress though smile
