Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team
That's the way some people
That's the way some people text, no matter who to or what about - over the top with exclamation points and emojis and smiley faces. Without seeing how she texts others it's hard to know if she's flirting.
I text like that a bit lol
I text like that a bit lol
im nit flirting when I do it.
I get where you're coming from though- anything to do with ex pissed me.
My guy was sending her pics of himself while working out of town to her phone to show his daughter.
I was in a rage lol
I do that with skids because
I do that with skids because I am super animated when I want that person out of my face or when I want them to think I don’t hate them.
I wouldn’t call what you described as “flirting.”
Now, if she used either the kiss-blowing emoji or the hearts in eyes emoji, I’d think she was flirting. But NOT just smiley faces.
IMHO.
Hmmmm...
I don't think I would consider this flirting coming from ex in our situation... I would find it annoying because it would seem fake more than anything. I Probably use too many smiley faces and excalmation points in my texts to everyone. I really hope it's not taken as flirting.
I think I'd find a new hill to die on here. Try to see the humor in it. Who cares what she is sending as long as your man is being respectful of your relationship in his conversations with her then it should be a non issue.
