Due to its asynchronous and discreet nature, people don’t have to be in physical proximity or expect immediate responses.
Texting is the opposite of discreet. It produces a written record of everything that’s said.
That’s why I use the untraceable Xbox party chat
Apps like Snapchat, signal and WhatsApp offer disappearing messages. And all three of those aren’t recorded by your carrier. What then?
Snapchat and WhatsApp aren’t private
To giant megacorp… no
To your significant other… very much so
You make it sound like texting is something new. I guess “new” is relative and cheating is probably as old as the concept of monoamory itself, so I guess in the grand scale of things, it is recent.
Yes, “new” as in the past 30 years ca previous hundreds
I know this is true FOR A FACT.
I sold phones in the early 2000s and had at least one customer with only ONE condition. Unlimited text, because his girlfriend was married.
Also, that’s how my ex-wife used to chat with my former best friend

My ex wife prefered snap chat.
So you know, I just happened to get traumatized by another dudes dick in my wife’s phone after her nude photos I’ve never seen. I don’t know who he was other than her admitting it was a guy she cheated on me with 5 years ago.
No I’m not over it. Its been over a year, and because of the toxic nature of our relationship I don’t have confidence to go out there and meet other people. It’s fine, I’m fine. I’ve got video games and a shower to cry in.
But fuck smartphones. I hate this goddamn technology more than I hate my ex.
That sucks. But it also happened before smartphones. Ask me how I know.
Sexting via carrier pigeon?
How do you know?
It takes a long time for that hurt to go away. It eventually will, mostly.
Take your time. It’ll be better.
I’m sorry, man :/ I hope you feel better some day soon - it’ll all pass! I’m sure you’ve heard all the platitudes before tho. What games you playing ATM? 👀
Elden Ring, Helldivers when I need to calm down from Elden Ring, and Factorio when I need to cool it from Helldivers.
I sprinkle in a little Diablo IV and No Man’s Sky too
Welcome to the internet!
Have a look around…
