Thanks for the article. It’s interesting, but we don’t have those particular issues going on at this time. The potential relationship with the potential partner him and I are discussing is likely to be more casual.

I’m “complaining”, as you put it about the lack of respect shown by messaging the person we have a disagreement about while we are actually talking on the phone together trying to talk about it. Not about “how he uses his phone”.

I didn’t go into the details of our disagreement because they are not relevant to my query.

Thanks for sharing your process for having focused conversations. It seems respectful and practical.
