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.
Texting has probably enabled more affairs recently

Yeah but going through your partners phone without consent is a breach of trust and asking to go through their phone only happens once you suspect something. I’d say texting makes cheating easier to hide but also easier to prove

Apps like Snapchat, signal and WhatsApp offer disappearing messages. And all three of those aren’t recorded by your carrier. What then?

Snapchat seems to be explicitly designed for this with automatic message deletion

Not as automatic as they desire. Or I desire.

Not even that recently! I sold phones in the early 2000s and had at least one customer with only ONE condition. Unlimited text, because his girlfriend was married.

Sadly, they couldn’t be together because he had to go to prison. Free advice: before you sucker punch someone for having “a look”, make sure they aren’t a Federal Agent having a beer after work.

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.

It takes a long time for that hurt to go away. It eventually will, mostly.
Take your time. It’ll be better.

That sucks. But it also happened before smartphones. Ask me how I know.
