Flirting by text

[ButchEire]

My opinion is that it is emotional infidelity and speaks to a much larger problem within the relationship, or both relationships if two people are participating. No different than real-time infidelity and again, because it speaks volumes about problems going on within a relationship and an externalizing of coping with them.

I just am curious to thoughts of all on this.. thanks in advance!
