‘Fexting’ like Bidens can make relationships worse, say experts

Arguing by text often raised as a problem during sessions with counsellors and psychologists

If you're the first lady, then having an argument with the US president via text message (or fexting", as Jill Biden called it) might keep marital disputes private from the Secret Service, but relationship experts have warned it could make things worse.

Biden revealed earlier this week how she and her husband, Joe, discreetly carry on arguments via text message in the White House, but according to relationship experts, arguing by text has become a problem commonly raised in couple's counselling in recent years.
