Find out how sexting puts a strain on relationships: A survey shows the prevalence of arguments via text messages in Germany.
SCANDAL: Argument over SMS – Fexting destroys relationships everywhere!
Alarming news from the digital world! The phenomenon “Fexting” – an explosive mixture of “fighting” and “texting” – is raging through Germany! According to a shocking survey, the overwhelming majority of people between the ages of 18 and 69 have argued with their partner via text message. Who would have ever thought that the smartphone could be the new battlefield of the heart? These frightening statistics force us to take a closer look!
The survey, which was conducted by the renowned market research institute Innofact, shows that a whopping 63 percent of those surveyed have ever been involved in a digital dispute! Bietigheimer Zeitung reports that the gap between generations in this trend is larger than ever before. A full 84 percent of 18 to 39 year olds have Fexting experience, while even two thirds of 40 to 49 year olds find themselves in this digital chaos. It is clear that the relay game of disputes between older generations is not stopped, because even those over 60 are affected at 33 percent!
Emojis as a double sword!
But it's not just words that cause conflict, the threatening power of emojis is also undeniable! Around 47 percent of fexting victims are firmly convinced that these little pictures cause more misunderstandings than they solve! Stern reveals that this opinion is particularly widespread among men and those aged 60 to 69. Conversely, 51 percent believe that emojis can help avoid arguments. But what else is true? The emotional jungle is becoming increasingly dense!
Almost half of Fexting participants say it is a dizzying challenge to convey thoughts and emotions accurately and understandably via text message. Men have a harder time here: 48 percent feel overwhelmed, while 44 percent of women struggle with it. Fexting could prove to be the poison for intimate relationships because the lack of non-verbal communication, i.e. tone of voice and body language, leads to deadly misunderstandings!
Why Fexting Could Ruin Your Relationship!
But where is this digital vicious circle leading us? The answer couldn't be more shocking! Studies show that this type of argument creates emotional distance and produces hurtful statements that are forever enshrined in the digital annals of a relationship. Desired proposes alarming measures to counteract this destructive trend. Suggestions include clear communication rules and serious face-to-face conversations instead of sending them to digital hell!
Some high-level recommendations include: Put your smartphone aside while trying to encourage real human interactions. Leave the text messages for loving messages and little surprises, not nasty accusations! This is the only way couples can stick together in this increasingly divided world!
However, the overwhelm of fexting can no longer be ignored. This new form of argument will inevitably lead to rifts and even separation if we don't act! Protect your relationship from this financial and emotional ruin before it's too late!
