keep crashing
When I am in this state, I fight my boyfriend as well, misinterpreting his intentions because of the lack of emotional cues given by our typed dialogues. The fight keeps hours, because the system keeps crashing. I say a line, then he does, then crash!
I consider 'typed dialogues' as a daily or a heart-to-heart dialogue between couples to solve some emotional problems. So the writer used the word 'emotional'. But I still know nothing about 'emotional cues'. Then, does the 'system' imply the relationship between 'us'? If my inference is right, I think 'keep crashing' means 'our' relationship or the quarrel keeps intensity. At last, 'line' is a sentence. 'I' say a words, 'my boyfriend' say a words, then we quarrel!
This is my paraphrase of this paragraph. Is it right?
If it's totally wrong, could you answer these questions?

What is 'typed dialogues'?
What is 'system keeps crashing'?

It must be talking about a dialogue typed on a computer, and the computer keeps crashing (i.e. suddenly failing or breaking). When you are communicating in writing you lose some of the indications of emotion that you would normally get from tone of voice, facial expression and/or body language. That is what "lack of emotional cues" is referring to.
