[quote=Anonymous]Two weeks ago I saw my BIL's wife for a family event (another family member's baby shower). I stayed at SIL's house (for one night) with my other SIL (because she lives closer to the event than I do). A few days after we left she sent me an email that said it was nice to see me and that I left a pair of shoes there, should she send them. I didn't reply...I know that I should have and it was rude not too...but I didn't get to it (end of school rush, I was sick etc). A week after she sent the email she texted me about my family's plans to come up for her DD's birthday. At the time I got the text I didn't know the answer to her question. I should have sent a text back saying, "let me get back to you," I know that. I know and agree that it's rude not to reply to people so I'm not excusing that...but about six days after she sent the text she sent me another text saying,

"Hope I didn't offend you somehow when you were here. Sent an email then text last week and no reply."

Then I was like...of course not, no! But I was surprised that she'd think that instead of just figuring I flaked out. It was rude, so I'm not expecting you to tell me it was okay. I know I should have written back to her sooner.

If someone didn't reply to one email and one text would you think you had offended them? Or would you maybe be annoyed and think they are rude for that but just figure they didn't get to it. We've never fought or anything so I'm not sure why she'd think I would ignore her because I was offended.[/quote]
