My ex-T and I occasionally texted during some rough spells. I didn't always feel super comfortable with it though. I think it definitely made her caring more apparent though then with this current T. I don't think I bonded with my ex-T as well as I have with my current T, but I chalk that up to the fact I've seen current T for a longer period of time and it's more recent. Anyway that was a long winded backstory to say yet again like most boundary issues I'm torn. Part of me wants to be able to text her because I live in an environment were it's not really safe or comfortable to make calls or at least I only can in very limited time windows that rarely work for both of us. So sending a text would be much better in that sense. In another sense I would be really afraid of becoming too dependent on her because it would be so easy to send a quick text I could see myself abusing the privilege. That and I think I would feel really guilty about bothering her when she's supposed to be off of work. Also I would be afraid she wouldn't really be putting her full attention or effort into it because of the nature of the medium. Plus I get triggered very easily and I can see how I could read something one way when she met another. So like I said before I'm just very torn on the subject.
