Frankly I got fed up with her social media usage

Texting was great, she always replied and texted me first

BUT

Snapchat was dreadful. I've only had it five months and she had been on it for a year.She would send me snaps daily but wouldnt reply to mine.I told hr "just stop sending them"

She said "i just want to tell you how my day is" and i said"ok text then because im done with snapchat", then she said" texting is for converstaion, snapchat is just a quick hey heres my day hows yours"

i just told her im done because it was stressing me out

I bet that whole conversation was typed out rather than communicated verbally in real time.

I think I can start looking forward to the sweet release of death now and leave the rest of you to your weird social media love lives and robot-slave future.

That's called "incompatibility." She does some things in a way that you can abide.

Better to know now.

Have I told you lately that I love you?

That this is even a thing in a relationship boggles my mind.

It's pretty much an overreaction.

She sees it as a form of nonverbal communication. You got your feelings all hurt because she didn't do it the way you want it done (replying to your snaps). Most people I know just snap and don't expect a pat on the head after every one.

So instead of seeing it as her reaching out to you because she likes you, a nice thing, you're being critical and kicking her to the curb because she didn't give you the validation you apparently wanted.

Done what? Broke up over social media? I am sure they have but I am also sure they are under the age of 17......

A snap of you vacuuming with just an apron would have stopped the Snapchat problem.

Or at least that would have worked for me as she dry heaves when that pic comes in to her.

Hey, kid, I'm way old. There was no snapchat or Twitter or cell phones or Facebook when I was young. I've learned about this technology since I'm still alive and want to keep up. BUT...

...my husband used to leave for work at 6:30am and off he'd go until he returned at 4:30pm or thereabouts. He'd sit in the kitchen while I finished cooking supper and we'd talk about our respective days. By the time the meal was on the table, we were pretty much caught up with the events of the day.

...now people text or tweet every bloody minute of the day. To someone they're going to see in a couple of hours. Unless there is a limb hanging off or bleeding from the eyes, none of it is important enough to be relayed instantly. That doesn't matter, though, because since we can, we must.

So since there's nothing to talk about when you get together at the end of the day, you don't talk. OP, you need to find a nice Amish girl who doesn't know from technology and you won't have to put up with her constant communication. Problem solved.
