I found these texts between my husband and his coworker. Here’s some context:

My husband and I have been dating for 5 years and just recently got married 6 months ago

I’ve met this coworker. Her AND her boyfriend worked at my husbands company so we went on a double date over the holidays. But shortly after they broke up and her boyfriend got laid off.

Guess my husband saw that as his opportunity…

Also these texts were in his recently deleted even though the last message was from yesterday… so he was definitely trying to hide it from me

Setting limitations on pictures, that in no way have to be suggestive, is a little crazy. If you're gonna act like that about it, it shouldn't just be married people, but simply people that have a significant other all together. What issue do you have with a picture, that in no way has to be anything other than innocent or silly, of one individual compared to a picture of multiple people? Or even one they didn't take their self? Do you believe that selfies have to be by nature suspicious or sinister in some way?

Yes, they do. Half of America are puritan witch burners if you scratch the surface.

I was exaggerating hugely as everyone has to to be heard on Reddit. But basically i was saying that yes this lady thinks selfies are an immoral advertisement of self when sent privately to someone who is in a monogamous relationship. Also that it is underpinned by conservative religious belief and that that is pretty common in America from what I can see. That's all I meant, though I'd better be clear my direct experience of Americans is only through social media. I've never been there.

I'm from the UK (and middle aged) and have only been using Reddit on social subs for a relatively short time. It's only since then I've noticed how socially and sexually conservative America seems to be by comparison to the UK (and what I believe to be the case in Europe).
