Jagdpanther Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Hi I recently split with girlfriend, and it was done through texting, (we did meet up for final closure) The writing had been on the wall for ages, so I am accepting that now. But it also occured to me that , we had poorly communicated in our texting to each other, you know mis reading or misunsderstanding the meaning of the texts. It really did play a part in adding to the confusion of our relationship. In the end I was receiving texts like ' missing you' (when in fact she was in pub talking to other guys), ' love so much, and could do with cuddle' and then when i phoned to say good idea and shall we meet up, she totally changed her mind. All very confusing and to be honest I am very put off the idea now of texting as a means of communication in any future relationship. whats your experience of texting in relationships?
Truly Lost Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 I think texting is only for conveying short messages like, "Be there in 5 minutes" or "Call me when you get off work". Not for discussing the status of your relationship and certainly not for arguing. Its silly to do that because of how easily the messages can be misconstrued. Its a shame that your relationship would succumb, in part, to misinterpreted text messages (and I'm sure it wasn't just the text messages that did it). But it sounds like perhaps your relationship was already on thin ice. The text messages only served as a catalyst.
BCCA Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 My experience with texts was that my coward ex dumped me via text in the middle of the day while I as at work. I agree, they should only be used for short messages like 'can you get milk' etc, not for serious relationship discussions. Using a text to relay an important message is about as lame and chicken s**t as you can get.
