textationship 

a friendly, romantic, sexual or intimate relationship, either brief or long-term, between two people whereby text messaging is utilized as the primary form of communication throughout, oftentimes due to one person's unwillingness and inability to express their feelings, unless at an impersonal level where senses, details and answers to questions and/or subject matter are intentionally avoided at the expense of disregarding and neglecting the need for sharing, giving, conveying a complete, forthright and respectful reply by other means of technology or face-to-face discussion.
My best friend ended the textationship with his girlfriend because of the many hours he was expected to spend engaging in arguments and discussion through text each day.

textapated

When you fail to look at your phone (due to sleeping, being occupied, being intoxicated, etc.) for a long time and the number of text messages you receive backs up greatly from your lack of response. This results in spending a long time answering your texts.
"Dude, did you get my message?"
"Nah, man. I passed out last night and now I'm super textapated."

Textration 

The feeling of frustration one gets when they are texting someone and the other person doesn't reply fast enough. Often occurs after more than five to ten minutes of waiting for their reply
Common situation of textration:

(Over text)

Guy: "Hey whats up?"

Girl: "Hey nothing really, you?"

Guy: "Just got home. Wanna hang out later?"

Girl: "Yeah sure, when?"

Guy: "Around 5? Is that good?"

(After 30 minutes of waiting for the reply, the frustration has set in)

(Thinking) Guy: "Come on answer back.."

10 more minutes

Girl: "Sure, 5 o'clock is good."

(Thinking) Guy: "FINALLY!!"

It's so nice to meet fellow Texpats up here! Northwesterners can be as chilly as their weather.

Textlation 

When you misunderstand a point someone is trying to convey through an all text medium (cell phones, internet chatting, etc.) because you are unable to see their body language, or hear the fluctuations in the tone of their voice.
I messaged her saying I was going to kill her, but my sarcasm was lost in textlation. Now I have been arrested for threatening her life.
