"Something I noticed since she started texting the OW, is how her texts are all shortened now. I know that is standing texting, but as teachers the W and I have always spelt the words the correct way when texting. "
I've notice the same thing. My ex adds hyphens all over the place now. It's weird seeing such mundane behavior like this change.

Thanks for joining in 2ndTimeHurt. Maybe it was the obscene amount of texts the W sends to the OW that made her abbreviate everything.

The OW is a teacher also, but yes you could be right, the W could be dumbing down the texts for that reason.

Could this simply be due to the fact that they have increased 1000% in the number of texts they send, and thereby found out that the way all other people that texts a lot do this is in fact quicker and easier

Yes F, that is the way I do think. Simply, a lot of texts and therefore modified words to make it quicker and to fit more words into the limit of a text.

Texting has acquired it's own language with acronyms and short letters. That's the reality we live in now.
As for sending W a HBD text around her birthday, it would be nice IF NOTHING changes between now to then. A lot could happen in a month. If I were you, I'd put the focus on the next party for your son and DIL. Isn't it in February, right?
Yes Wonka, you are right, February for the future DIL's 21st. The focus will be on that, then we can talk about the next focus :-)
Thanks very much Wonka for all the continued help.

Dear HWA, I checked in on you a week ago to catch up. It has appeared your dear friend Wonka has carefully and wisely walked with you so far. Now, to move your focus toward your son and (soon-to-be) DIL sounds like a positive focus.

Yes Laurie, I feel very priviliged to have Wonka and yourself following and helping me. The focus has to be on my boys, that is the important part of my life now. All I can continue to do with them, is text and let them know I am thinking about them. Offer at times to come and visit, without constantly being on their backs about visiting. Ask questions about their lives, their things they are doing. Help them if and when necessary.
