Feel hurt by friend

When I get texts at work (I teach), when I am cooking dinner, when I am driving, or when I am otherwise just in the middle of something I often read/see it, don't reply because I can't or because it's not safe (i.e. driving) then I forget about it.

Get over it and pick up the phone or send an email so your friend can respond on her own time. If you want her to do you a favor and give input, make it convenient for her.

She doesn't do email or phone. She also doesn't work.

If you want the information, use your grown up fingers , dial, Call and ask her "hey Larla, you know I'm considering doing my Masters. How did you and your boys find your experience at Duluth Uni?"

I can't believe you're a grown woman stressing over a text.

It's not just the text. It's that this woman is a user. And she only replies if there is something in it for her. And Larla is a f*'d up name. Lol.

I'm middle aged, and I don't use texts for conversation. Email or phone only. I also have a FT job, so if you text me in the middle of the day about something that's not time sensitive, I may see the text but I almost surely won't respond. And then I may forget about it entirely when I race home to help 2 kids w/homework and get dinner ready and finish up stuff for my day job. That's life.

That's you though. This friend I'm referring to will only communicate with you by text. It's her way or the highway.

so why are you even texting her about this? That sort of text requires a lengthy response. Find someone who can use the phone or take to the internet to get more detailed responses.

You sound terribly immature. Like tween immature.

Ah, you must not be from around here.

It's easy to overlook a text. For the sake of your own mental health, just assume she overlooked it and text her again rather than assume the worst and be angry and hurt. She's far away, and you can't really know what's going on in her life.

Then there's your answer, OP. Read back what you just wrote and tell me why you a) still have any expectations of her and b) still consider her a friend. Be done with her, seriously.

Pick up the damn phone and call her what's the problem?
What you only know how to communicate via text?

If you're such good friends, why are you even texting? Wouldn't you just ask in person when you see her? What if her kid opened the app and she has no idea she even received a message and It says read? Google is your bff.
