That’s what the latest reasearch from Macquarie University researcher, Natalie Robinson, said. Recently, she surveyed and studied the texting habits of 100 young Australian people aged 18-35 and found SMS messaging increased when relationships were beginning or going through a rocky period. Those couples, according to Robinson, try to advoid direct contact with their partner when their relationships were strained.

Furthermore, this clinical psychologist said she was surprised to find 15 percent of participants had dumped a partner via text messages. It was also happen to her own friends, who had been ditched in a text message.

“She was very angry because it was so impersonal and because they had been together for a couple of years,” she said.
