My own limited research has shown me that women tend to take texting far more seriously than men do. We’ll agonize over word choice, the intention behind our tone, how the recipient might perceive our tone, and even where to place punctuation. I know I could be exposing my own neuroses, but I’d bet good money that I’m not alone. In fact, I’m guessing that quite a few of you are starting to get a little anxious right now, debating whether or not you should send a “Happy New Year” text to your ex later tonight. It’s a loaded question right? Is it the “right” thing to do since you’re over him (or to prove you’re over him)? Could a text this time of year spark a rekindling between the two of you? Or do you need to leave your ex in the past, season’s greetings and all? When in doubt, my momma always told me to make a pros and cons list, so here’s ours. Check out these reasons you should and should not text your ex before the start of 2020.
PS: When you get to the end of this article, you’ll likely notice this list is a little unbalanced. That’s mostly because, in many instances, the reasons not to text your ex outweigh the reasons to reach out and send a message. You have a bit of time left before the ball drops, so after you read this list, take a moment to think about why you want to reach out and you should be able to make the right decision.
