unfortunately I'd have to say that it's a sad fact of life in this day and age. But hey, it works for some people. We'll know how much of an impact on evolution this has when we see future dependants from these couples being born with deformed thumbs - that is when the situation will be saddest!

Hmm... do text only couples exist?! I know text/online friendships can... so I guess relationships can too, but that's just creepy!!!! ah well. Strange people now-a-days !

It could be useful for those whose spouse is too ugly to look at!

So... you would be in a relationship where you actually can't stand the look of your partner?! because that's so normal...

Its more stealthy texting someone. But people do have 'Relationships' without actually meeting the person, using IM, video calls and texting.

Hmmm.... Not too well up on politics are we then Pebbles?

Have a look at those who like to wear RED at every opportunity, including their families, then you'll get the idea
