Anita,

Thank you for your response. That’s an interesting perspective, and one I hadn’t considered. I’m also confused by her comment that she failed to understand me. I’m reluctant to start with something so “heavy,” particularly by text. I feel her text may have been testing the waters for a reconciliation, and since I haven’t heard from her for almost a week, perhaps she was just apologizing and nothing more. I was hoping she’d contact me again, but maybe I should just send a “hi, it was nice to hear from you” text and see what happens. If she’s receptive we could hopefully meet to talk sometime soon. I’m just unsure how best to proceed.

Thanks again.
