This comment by Justin on the post “I miss You. U Wanna Meet Up?”: Breaking Up with Our Sexters
This is actually pretty scary. My comments are directed to the general public not the author. How can anyone, anywhere, ever think that they can have an actual relationship with one person while there are other people they are sexting! It just isn’t part of the way I think so I don’t assume that other people are doing this but I guess I should. I really worry that our culture has degraded relationships so much that few people really understand the value of having someone in your life in a committed loving trusting relationship. How can you not want this and instead cut of your own intimacy with your partner by carrying on small level relationships with other people? We live in a very self serving culture that is getting to the point where we are forgetting that we are living in a self serving culture. It’s becoming the norm to a dangerous level.

Question of the Day:
Is sexting simply cheating and should be treated as the destructive behavior and relationship destroyer that it can often be?

Agreed Jules. Unfortunately that does not promote deep satisfying relationships. As a result we are all looking for something great but not getting there due to this gold fish 3 second attention span courtesy of Social Media, texting, sexting, and general lack of substance, narcissism being a big, albeit one, aspect of this.
“We live in a very self serving culture that is getting to the point where we are forgetting that we are living in a self serving culture. It’s becoming the norm to a dangerous level.”
It’s called narcissism.
“….while there are other people they are sexting…?”
