If there have been rocky patches in your relationship after a period of only seven months...then I don't really see much future for you both. When we are young and looking for a life partner we try others on for size...when we have determined a person is right for us we establish a committed relationship. I think that until a commitment from both parties is made, then you are both free to try others on for size. For me it wouldn't be a matter of me finding out that my partner was sexting...as I would never ever snoop on their phone....and if I did find out through accident, then I would leave them for being indiscreet....which in turn means that they care little for my feelings and integrity...I simply don't want to know what they do in their spare time. Knowing each others every movement and vetting their interactions makes for a very miserable partnership.

Please don't be too eager to disregard all others when you meet someone you like...the perfect match for you may pass you by.
