Texting (and texting, and texting, and...)

Pix, thank you for responding.

I think myself about some of the advances we had in tech in the past when I was younger and how my parents at the time were leery of them, and I shudder to think that I'm like that over this, lol.

in this particular circumstance, there's an 7 year difference between us. I'm 48, he's 41. I think he and I have a different approach to interacting with other people; I prefer face to face, guess the times are changing.

I really appreciate the comments and the time folks took to read. Thank you.

I did at the end make the right choice for me, and this wasn't the only reason for the breakup. I'll see that it was the right thing, for me, a long time from now, no matter how much it hurts now... it would have hurt a hell of a lot more if I had done it when our lives were a lot more entwined and we realized we weren't on the same page.

This would make an interesting concept for fiction, or nonfiction, I think. No generation in history has ever really had to deal with this relationship dynamic... No?

People losing a relationship to social networking? Who will step up and put a Hemingwayesque twist?

Yes generations past had to deal with the interference of TV and the Telephone.

My mother was a TV watcher, every single damn day, every single hour the TV droned on and on and on. She ignored her husband to watch her programs, he would get pissed, stomp off to the bed room and pout.

The Telephone was my aunts thing - this is when they were still plugged into the wall. When in home cordless radios hit the markets she was one of the first to have one and she would have that thing to her ear all day long.

No doubt the next technology to come along (the sex robot) will break humanity - especially when the sex robots all get into infinite loops and fuck everyone to death.:eek:

Smile - I hope you did
