Text freaks

[callthatgirl]

I just saw a text log that showed almost 8000 texts in a month between 2 people in a relationship.

Just checked out one day, selected randomly....258 texts.

And this has been going on for months.

WHO can text anyone that much? I know that one of the people work FT at a job!!!

The reports show really about every 3 min a text is back and forth. I'm just shocked. I text 300 a month I think.

They text each other even when there in the same room.

"...between 2 people in a relationship" but not married I'll bet!

It's the 21st century equivalent of "You hang up!", "No, YOU hang up!" . . .

I think he was in the kitchen and she was in the living room. But yes, I think that happened!

@mraikes when I dated my last bf, he wanted to text alot and I forbid it.

I send maybe 5-10 texts per month. It's a huge pain in the rear compared to just calling the person. There are circumstances were it's nice to be able to text someone, but it's so rare that I don't really text.

A couple years ago when my daughter was 16 she did 14,000 texts in one month. Ridiculous!

Seems that more and more people are afraid or embarrassed to speak face-to-face or over the phone so they send a text instead. A text won't show their facial expression(s) and the ones who text like crazy know it! So they are protected.

I text with a fishing friend of mine who works part time as I do. We "can" talk over the phone and many times have done so. But setting up a 1-day fishing outing is generally easier to do via texting. And that's just what we did today. Shooting for a day of fishing next week - weather permitting.

Another "good reason" for texting is so we can share pictures of the grandchildren. But for the most part since we all have cell phones we do talk over the phones quite a bit when we can't be in the same room together.

Hope that was covered under your / her plan! Could be quite costly if not.

Good for you! How long did that relationship last (if I may be so bold to ask?)

Thats insane though hehe did that to my wife the other day on the couch, was just being annoying.

I was with the last bf for a year and a few months. I don't like texting "love you baby!!!" all freaking day. or "guess what"

"what"

"I LOVE YOU"

it was stupid games. I hated it.

while I said I forbid it, I usually didn't text back right away, I had to train him....didn't work, didn't matter, we broke up lol

Next boyfriend, no texting period.

I caught my daughters texting each other once....; they were both in the back seat of the same automobile at the time.....

Was it a "new" relationship? Like in the first few weeks? Or perhaps the beginning of an extra-marital?
Frequency of texts or e-mails early on, can skyrocket off the charts like the Tower of Dubai.

A few years ago my brother remarried. As a family we always get together at my dad and mom's house for a Christmas meal and presents. Well, One time my brother's wife invited her daughters to come along. One of the daughters (college 2 years) was on her phone texting all the time she was at the house. In fact, She didnt even sit at the table for the Christmas meal. Whats weird is that she didnt see anything wrong with it. She just sat in the den texting whoever (???)

One thing is for sure - There is another person out there just like her.

I remember having a chat with a military recruiter (we played an online game in facebook at the time) who told me that the majority of the young people coming into the military at that time (2 or more years ago) were of "weak minds, but strong fingers!" Sound familiar?
