I don't see any mention of them spending "more" time together in this thread, just that they spend everyday together. its unclear if that is a new change or it was always the case.


As for the OP, this is pretty normal for most people I would say.

They stop feeling they have to try now that it's "official"
they got what they wanted
Their willingness to try to impress and go out of their way dies off dramatically.

Well, new member, you should end the relationship. You're not ready for anything grown-up at this juncture.

I'm very frustrated by this! She used to send me dirty texts and it;s died down. We see each other basically every day but still. I'm thinking of ending it

should i?
The part I highlighted in BOLD is the REAL issue.

It speaks volumes as to how much human interaction has fallen to screen time. I am so thankful I did not grow up in the era of screen only interactions. What a damaging effect is has had on human empathy.

It will be interesting to see how this pans out evolution wise on our senses as well vision.

Texting is a lame way to have a real relationship.

Texting is a communication tool...it's not good or bad in of itself. It's how people use it.

It's a communication tool through a screen...no face time at all. No physical interaction. You can't see or pick up on nonverbal cues. You can't see facial expressions.


It's a superficial way of communicating with others resulting in lower quality relationships.

It is also what accounts for the lack of empathy towards others, a trend that has been increasing.

Today's college kids are 40-per-cent less empathetic, study finds - The Globe and Mail

I call bs. If you know the other person you can spot emotions through word choice and how the reply. It does not replace face to face communication...but no one has said it should. It's a tool....just like writing a note was when I was in high school.

BS, the lack of empathy that is growing can be attributed to greedy and heartless employers and the corruption in politics. Text having very little to do with either.
