You reckon a day after is too late. I haven't read it yet, so technically I haven't received it. But, I see your perspective here. I guess I don't want it to be construed for a tit for tat situation but, you can't have your cake and eat it too!
Sound advice for next time - keep it short and do it quick.

Don't worry about it. Right now, when all of this is still fresh, you can't see through your own fog. You think it's important to get everything right. The reality is, whether or not you respond to the message, it's not going to make any substantial difference in the outcome. What if the message got lost in the ether on went to the spam folder? Don't respond this time and maybe respond to the next one.
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
^^^^totally agree with doodler. Don't think any response is going to magically make her fall back into your arms. I would leave it alone at this point and if she messages you again then just give her a short but sweet reply.

All your points make sense. I'll let this one slide. Let's see if there is another one. Time will tell I guess. Would be interesting to see what the topic will be.
You are right about the haziness. Though I must admit I'm having one of those very stone cold numb days.

And now I'm back to thinking I may have stonewalled her and come across as resentful for not replying back.
Help!
Not at all. You're grasping at straws at what you think may make a difference.

Jbroken, you are right. People have the definition of anti-social wrong these days. I do interact with other people very well, I'm just very picky who I let in, and who I associate with. When my h and I met he had told me he didn't mind be being that way, he was somewhat right in the middle anyway as far a being social or not and really did enjoy being alone or hanging out in small circles. I have a blast when I'm out with a couple good friends, I can open up, be myself. When I'm at a party, or a crowd- anxiety steps in and I cannot open up. Now, he feels this is a turn off. I'm "insecure". sorry to hear about your city. thinking of you!
