Texting: A Sign of Cheating

I burst out laughing when I saw this statement in a study online while doing some research for another article. Thanks to a younger sister I found out that texting was much cheaper than calling so I’ve become a text junkie. My family is pretty big so I do quite a lot of calling and being all over the place, these calls can lead to hefty bills.

Now, suppose my husband was the suspicious type and was already curious about my new addiction to texting…after reading an article such as that he may have well wondered. Really though, it’s not that funny when you stop to think about it. A lot of relationships may come under scrutiny and be tested because one of the partners suddenly realizes that the other is texting quite a bit.

I know quite a few females who constantly check their partner’s cell phones for text messages and or frequently called numbers. Some get all upset and challenge them on their findings, others say nothing, but keep the information for ammunition later on.

One word of advice, granted I’m no counselor, is not to become suspicious and jealous because our lover or spouse seems to be texting more than usual, it could all be quite innocent. With today’s ever increasing prices, it is important to save a few cents where we can and texting provides one such means.

Happy texting everyone, but please avoid doing it while driving!
