Dear blkhwkdwn1:

That can be so, a phone getting wet. After all, I lost power because of a storm, so yes, things happen. Try to have realistic expectations of people. For example, a realistic expectation from me is that I will reply to you every time you post as soon as I am able, as soon as I have internet and power and access to the website. It is not a realistic expectation of me to have coffee with me. The woman, have realistic expectations of her. You can talk to her about what expectations will be realistic. She can learn what would be realistic for her to expect from you.

Exit abusive relationships and living circumstances. And then, from non-abusive people like me and this woman, get a bit here and a bit there of what you need.
