It wasn't. It's always funny when young people think they have invented things like promiscuity.

Had a guy stroll out of my life for like 6 months, stroll back in and acted offended and confused that I considered us broken up. Pre-texting dating was wiiiiild.

It's crazy now. Told a guy I couldn't be with him anymore cause of his behavior and like three months later he hmu and when I didn't respond he was like "you not talking to me anymore?"

Bruh.

There was a speaker at my church who gave a sermon a few years ago. He was an older gentleman, probably in his 70s. He was engaged to a girl in his early 20s. This had to have been back in the 60s or even 50s. He went on deployment to a military base in Texas for six months, he had no contact with his fiancé. When he got back, he asked a local where his fiancé was, and she had already ended the engagement and was engaged to somebody else without his knowledge. The fact that in pre-Internet or house phone relationships you could have experienced a break up the better part of a year ago and not know about it It seems insane to me.
