Hankster,

Your original comment:

I thought all young couples these days just texted...!
comes off as harsh, stereotyping, and judgmental. I do not know if you meant for it to or not, but that's the problem with text (whether on a phone or on a computer).

Not all young couples text. I'm in my late 20s. When I'm in a relationship I prefer not to text, for this reason, too many ways to create an argument that was never there to begin with. The reader decides how she thinks the texter's tone was and if they were truly mad or not. I actually did not really start texting with anyone until about 3 years ago.

As Emmalee mentioned, she is deaf, so she relies on texting and writing as forms of communication. Unfortunately, Emmalee, you're partner is going to need to learn to work with you and you with her. I'm sorry, Emmalee, that I do not have much advice today.

I wanted to share that we all need to be careful with the way we choose to write/type what we want to say, and in return we need to be aware that how we interpret something somebody wrote/texted does not mean that's exactly how they meant it.
