(AOL Black Voices) — In an episode of my show, ‘Dr. Boyce Watkins on AOL Black Voices,’ we discussed whether traditional relationships end up being threatened with the advent of e-mail, Facebook, texting and all the other things that keep people connected electronically. The episode comes out in a few weeks, but I wanted to go ahead and touch on this issue, especially in light of a new study, which I’ll get to in a second. There was a time when relationships simply ended when they ended: You had a girlfriend in college and you never saw her again. That boyfriend that your husband will never know about ceases to exist. High school ended and you only stayed in touch with five percent of the people you saw in class everyday. Life was simple.
