Sending Flirty DMs

Those teasing and flirty texts you’re exchanging with someone on twitter will surely have some sort of effects. You might be thinking that you’re miles away and doing nothing wrong, but if your significant other saw your DMs and compliments to another person, what do you think they would say?
