James Bauer’s Texting Tip of the Week
“Just how much ________ can you handle?”
This question opens the mind to imagine positive extremes.
For example, “Just how much fun can you handle in a single weekend?”
Or, “Just how much happiness can you handle in a relationship?”
“Just how much more James Bauer brilliance can you handle?”

I’m feeling so desperate. I’m in love with a man who has chosen to stop texting or speaking to me after more than 4 (LD) years together. I’m sending him a “card” in the mail as I know he’ll open it.. unlike my texts. I just want him to talk with me. We had the BEST friendship.. i miss that the most!! Not freeze me out like this. I’ll only have room for about 10 sentences on the card.. what can I say to soften his heart? ❤️ I think this will literally be my last chance to move him. I’m so afraid I’ll say the absolute wrong thing, and he won’t reach out ☹️
Hi Madison, I also was recently given the silent treatment /ghosted by someone after a 3-year relationship. I watched him freeze out 2 of his 3 daughters and his only 2 brothers. I ignored these and other huge red flags that indicate he is incapable and/or unwilling to deal with uncomfortable emotions and situations. I’ve since come to understand his behavior is textbook narcissistic and the ONLY appropriate response is NOT to respond. EVER. We deserve respect and love. The silent treatment is punishment and abuse. Close that door—and lock it. Nothing more needs to be said between you and him. It won’t take long to see another door open. I learned that everything I thought I needed from him is actually the love I hadn’t given myself. Forget him
— choose to love yourself. Wishing you love and peace.
Brilliantly put! The question is deep and yes can trigger so many answers, depending on where the person’s mind is at. I need more Brilliance for sure. It’s lovingly beautiful to own it!
yes!
I like this one as you can use it at any point in a relationship. In the beginning or deeper into a relationship.
