10. I'd rather talk things over in person

if it's heavy. It is too easy to misconstrue comments, especially if someone wants to read between the lines. After her reply yesterday, I thought about if for awhile and assumed she found out who sent the text. Then today, when she sent an out of character brusque text, I thought she still thinks I sent the text.

Relationships are so complex, even when I think they aren't. I had a friend who took everything I said or did the wrong way. After trying to please her, mollify her, pacify her, I stepped away from that relationship. It was too hard to avoid every single thing that pissed her off. We are minimally in touch-she is an inlaw, but I haven't followed up on her suggestions we get together and so on. I am not a chew toy :/

Thank for weighing in. I always appreciate hearing from you
