Is Constant Texting Good or Bad for a Relationship?

Depending on what you mean by constant. I text with my husband everyday, at least a few times. Just to say I love you or miss you or send him a picture of what he has to look forward to later 😉. I love being able to be in contact with him without it interrupting the other things we are doing when apart. I think that's good communication in a long term relationship.
If you mean like 20 texts in a row while your trying to work or sleep because the other partner is being ridiculously needy and annoying then no lol

constant texting isn't upkeepable, unless one of the partners is a no lifer.
i did text a lot with my guy in our 1st month. hours daily. but now it's just some sentence.

[Pinay_ako]

my ex would text me from morning to night and gets mad if i don't excuse myself if I don't reply fast enough. it gets annoying...

[Darknut123]

Well you can't constantly be bugging somebody. Some people have things to do and can't readily reply and keep doing it

[Pinay_ako]

@Darknut123 it was a source of fights. he thought it was rude. I have to tell him where I was going, what was I doing and how long am I gone until we can text again...

[Darknut123]

Right and nobody should be subject to that. Start resenting then.

[Pinay_ako]

@Darknut123 oh he broke up with me coz he said I wasn't giving him everything he needed and wanted. and that I do not make him happy, but crawls back. he was so needy and clingy

What if a woman writes you out of the blue and every so often as well? For example in this situation.. is she wanting to be friends or something more? Girl knows you like her, she has a boyfriend. I guess she feels weird about it and avoids all contact, but like a year or so later starts blowing up your phone asking how you are doing etc. She still is with the boyfriend and has child with him as well. Now why would she be chatting?

Bad because if you talk about too much through text then what do you have to talk about in person. You can not feel the other persons emotion, see their body language or how they say what they say.

[Volvagia]

texting is a shitty form of communication. I like that it's impersonal but it doesn't allow for body language and facial expressions which makes up a good chunk of what "human interaction" even entails

[noraaenots]

Thank God I'm not the only one with these exact thoughts.

[Ladyslipper]

Bad. I've dumped guys for texting me too much, I got extremely annoyed when they Would be like hello? Why aren't you replying? Like wtf I'm either busy or don't feel like talking get over it

[Darknut123]

Yes I agree you can't smother somebody.. they have lives too, and they shouldn't be getting mad you don't reply. It's a deep rooted trust issue

[just_wondering_01]

Bad if it's actually constant because it takes away from the other parts of your life but daily texts to check in and say hi when you won't see each other is good

[Annie_Mosity]

Depends if you're both happy with it and why you're doing it. Me and my OH message each other all through the day. We like talking to each other.

[Via_8662]

Depends entirely on the relationship. I used to text my boyfriend constantly but as years have gone by it isn't as necessary.

[AzureGirl]

Communication is always good. It isn't good if the communication is getting in the way of other things though.

[Tdieseler]

Its good at first, then it becomes a hassle. because then you kill the "honeymoon phase" even faster

[RachelleDraws]

Bad, just talk to each other in person, or at least over the phone.

[pepwave21]

Bad. I dont want to text all time. Things can wait until we talk.

[Deepz]

Constantly texting with others? Yes.
Constantly texting with significant other : No. 😏

[zombiebabe]

yes constant communication will bring you closer to that person

[Demiurge6]

Bad. Especially if you texting someone else 😂 but with texting increase chance of missunderstanging so it is usually bad

[pavlove]

i vote good. you have to ask yourself why be in ai relationship versus a constant hook up. part of it is companionship

[TallGuy96]

For me i like to be texted all the time, don't know if girls do.

[MrGore]

After a while it's getting annoying. So it's probably not that good to text constantly

[omgjassy]

Eventually you run out of thing to say

[boochie0]

If you’re not near each other no

[Banana-Girl]

Annoying
