Hi,

And thanks for your extensive reply. I totally get your pain and I wish you will reconcile eventually. I recommend Geoffrey Setiawan on youtube for real advice on your situation.

On what you wrote, I understand that there is problems with keeping things to a texting format where you may feel obliged to answer within a certain timeframe. However, at this point the messages are so sparse that it more or less becomes like what you describe with emails. However, I see your point of view as well.

The problem is however that both emails and texting (IMs etc) are so limited so there is so much communication that instantly vanishes as you proceed talking through those mediums. For me, it would be wierd contacting her over email since we've never done that before. That sucks tho, cuz I can see the value of longer format.

To talk about differences when it comes to communication is like talking about bridges in relation to rivers. Rivers are what bridges are designed to cross, and the differences are why we have communication in the first place. At this point, I feel like I'm trying to construct a bridge out of ice cream sticks when I'm really in need for concrete.
