With all due respect...I'd have to argue that it is normal.
It seems like one of the drawbacks of this site is the confusion between right/wrong, and normal/abnormal.
It's absolutely normal for boys to use girls and for girls to submit...and vise-versa. It's wrong, but it's normal.
The distinction seems so lost on so many here that a post saying "no! it's not normal to cheat on your spouse!" will reach the top of the page from so many thumbs up, but the fact is that 65% of people in committed relationships privately admit to infidelity.
it all depends on what you consider normal i guess.
although technically that fact is questionable anyway - it's hard to claim 'facts' from surveys the same way you might claim "carrots are high in vitamin A" as a fact.
The former is hard to prove while the latter can easily be verified.
but at any rate I suspect this isn't a healthy relationship for the OP to be in
For the record...my source was from "Psychology" magazine, and confirmed by the information taught when I studied psychology...just to clarify that it didn't come from "The Enquirer" haha. I'd share the link, but that was from the early 90s. You're welcome to research it yourself if interested. Most studies like it seem consistent.
IIN ex-bf and I sext each other, though he has a gf?

It's normal. It's wrong...but it's still normal.

How can something be wrong and normal at the same time?

At the risk of falling prey to sarcasm...
The definition of "normal:"
"the usual, average, or typical state or condition."
The definition of "wrong:"
"incorrect or untrue." or..."unjust, dishonest, or immoral."
I actually thought that I gave a pretty good example of how someone could be both.
From my comment:
"the fact is that 65% of people in committed relationships privately admit to infidelity."
...or maybe you were making a statement about the degeneration of morals in society.
...or maybe I'm just overthinking your response.

Point well taken.
For the record...my source was from "Psychology" magazine, and confirmed by the information taught when I studied psychology...just to clarify that it didn't come from "The Enquirer" haha.
