Do you and your boyfriend/girlfriend text daily? ?

I told him I don't like texting daily. 2 times a week is ideal for me

[sawno]

wasn't literally every day but close to it since we had a long distance relationship. 2 times a week for proper quality time like a multi hour video call makes sense if thats the only time slot available (fortunately we could do that almost daily to). But obviously i'd want to text my girl often if I otherwise can't see her. At minimum just a check in how our days went and catching up a little or sharing stuff in the moment. But of course i'd keep some topics for the calls to keep the calls interesting.

Pahahahah , my partner has lived with me for the last 12 years and we are with each other most nights of the week and we STILL text multiple times during the day or when we are apart.


A couple of times a week for a boyfriend you see incredibly infrequently…well he may as well not exist in my opinion.

With the guy I like I look forward to his texts and appreciate the daily messages, though not over the top since we have work, life, etc.

I think that’s fine if you see each other regularly. Otherwise that isn’t much communication for a week…

[Asker]

we barely see each other. We do long distance.

[HollyK21]

And you’re ok with only speaking with him twice a week?

[Asker]

yes. he isn't. but i really don't want to hear from him that much.

[HollyK21]

That’s not a good way to have a sustainable relationship. This sounds more like you want a good friend or something equally low maintenance. Long distance and not much talk, how do you connect and build your relationship?

@hollyk21

i don't like his low effort texts. he says he's not much of a texter and also he is often too busy to text. We talk but for very short periods.
We have only met 3 times over the past 4 months. he's an ok guy

Right now, I tend to do it a lot more than she does and I'm not thrilled with having to do it but, we used to just TALK on the phone for an hour or two per day until my brand new one stopped working 6 months ago!! Now that I've got it working again (3 weeks ago) we hardly ever talk because she's got a lot going on with some personal issues.

[Nikki1989]

No, we actually talk to each other. You should try it. Talking was once very popular.

I don't know anyone who texts.

[beenherebefore]

No. We rarely text each other. We live together anyways so texting is pointless but even before living together we did not have the habit of texting daily.

[BonzoInBitburg]

My wife and I text all the time and I'm retired and she doesn't work. We are with each other 24/7 and constantly text each other.

[queenofcardio]

I prefer daily communication. Even if it's little.

[Cute_User513]

Yea we do! Even though we live together we still text a lot!

[dudeinohio]

When I'm dating we always text multiple times a day.

[Abbycado]

Typically, yes. It is sporadic some days.

[WhitneySnow]

Yes.

[Cute_User513]
