Text is a terrible forum for any important conversation. Refuse to discuss anything of significance over text, especially an emotional situation. Communications include what I want to say, what I actually say, what the other person heard, and what the other person thinks you meant, so there are 4 points for misinterpretation in a single statement. Now amplify those misinterpretations across a volley of messages back and forth and you end up down a spiralling pit. At least in face to face conversations you can rely on non verbal cues to correct communication.
