I used to. Then I realized that Mom’s are the busiest people on earth, and women are generally three times as busy as men in the typical relationship. So..... you’ve got to allow for that!

@JavaJoe Yep! 😂

No I don’t think it’s rude. I understand folks have lives to live away from SW as do I ✨

You shouldn't even have to explain that.

I am terrible for repying. Always forget or think I have. 😑

@LilPuckBunny I do my best but life calls, as I mentioned 🤷🏻♀️.
I mean... depending on what you're talking about, for how long, when, how well they know you... I could see where a 'erf. gotta go!' might be appreciated. probably a little far to say it's 'rude', I think. assuming you do come back at some point and resume/continue.

I usually know if someone is busy but if I have to leave right away, I usually say I have to go etc if I'm in the middle of a convo going back and forth.

I don't think it's rude. I think it's more polite to say, "Gotta go. Later," the way you would on the phone unless it's a fire or a car has just driven into your dining room.

No. We have no idea what is going on with the person we are chatting with. They could be interrupted by a million different reasons

Not really. I just assume they ran out of things to say or got busy with their life outside of SW.

And if you live where I do the ISP isn’t always reliable and cell service can be spotty at times. Stuff happens!

Not at all - everybody has to leave the conversation sooner or later -

Not necessarily, there could be good reason they stopped.

I understand how things Iike that are.. Happens to me often.

It just depends on context.

No..life happens, and I agree with you 100%

That’s what I assume—real life has beckoned, and the person had to go. I never take it personally. I’m surprised when others do. 🙂

people should know by now I'm not good with having online conversation
all I seem to get is info gatherers
and it is like an unwelcome penetration

I just assume they are busy. Until it's been a few days. And then I forget about it.

Pffff they should be happy I even respond.

@SkeetSkeet I know, right? Like with my busy life 😆.
