How often do you text your partner? Are you comfortable with your talking time?

[ventustalks]

Some find it less than the ideal, some find it overwhelmingly much. What is the situation in your relationship?

This is not a hard one. I don't text her at all.

Not because I don't want to communicate with her. Rather because - as she well knows - I am as technologically backward as they come. I have never looked at Facebook, Twitter or other such page, and as for texting, I still use a flip phone.

Even the flip phone I regard as the equivalent of a mailman who comes barging into your house, shoves your mail in your face, and then demands that you open and read it in front of him as he impatiently taps his foot. I yearn for the days when the telephone was on a cord hanging in the kitchen or the living room, and etiquette demanded that you not call people - unless it was an emergency - before 8:00 A. M. or after 10:00 P. M.

Besides, instant communication conduces to poor communication. When my s/o and I want to talk to each other we talk by phone or face-to-face. That makes for fewer misunderstandings and for a closer relationship.

Yes, when I go off on one of my rants about texting or Facebook or whatever, my s/o rolls her eyes. Then she smiles, kisses me on the cheek and tells me she loves me.

There is nothing better than that!!

We text once or twice a day for about maybe 10 to 20 minutes total. That is about all I think is required, and yes, I am comfortable with it. Seriously if you have something to say or want to talk about things that takes more than one or two text, just call the person. You can cover so much more in short period of time. Its more personal, anyway, to talk.

Less often when I'm seeing him more, more often when I'm seeing him less.

As long as I feel connected and like I know what's going on in his life, there's not a set amount.

But I am comfortable with our talking time. It's not constant, but its daily and made a priority

[ventustalks]

This is so cute. I am so happy for you

I'm old school. I like to hear a voice. They're way more sexy than texts. Texts are more for info. But some like to text, others like to call. Others like a mix of both.

I can't type well on a phone. But easiest way is talking, unless you're writing a novel.

I’m in a new relationship with someone I’ve known for 10+ years.
I text her constantly (and I know it’s way too much) can’t help myself. She is always on my mind.


She is a much more reasonable with her texts.
She would probably text me once in the morning, once or twice at lunch and then a couple of times at night.


Honestly I am the insecure one in the relationship.

We live together so I don't need to text my husband unless one of us is out of the house and need something. My husband has been away for one month and a half and we text a few times a week, not daily we both hate texting. We call each other once in a while.

[Drumlin2001]

Used to be throughout the day. Now we live together with 2 kids, I work from home 2 days a week and due to compressed hours I have weekends and Wednesdays off work. We spend a lot of time around each other so don't need to message a lot

[ventustalks]

This is so cute

[serious]

I don't have a partner to text to. Never had one.

However, in general I don't mind texting at all. Even if I am texting to an acquaintance.

[ventustalks]

This is nice. Usually the ones who are okay with texting throughout the day find it easy and comforting to text their partners often. I hope you experience it at the time you want it!

[SnowedIn]

Several times a day. Much of that is dealing with logistics of our family but at a minimum we always check in in the morning when she wakes up since we're on dramatically different schedules.

[NathanDavis]

I would do it only as needed (usually while we were both at work)

but our talking time was ACTUAL talking time, in person, face to face... and of that, there was more than plenty, yes

[cuteangelprincess]

We text each other good morning and good night messages and whenever we feel like texting. I am really really content with my current situation 😊

[ventustalks]

I am so happy for you!

[kellytheman]

I think me and girl text each other not too much however she does text me more then I text her. She also sends me pics or videos of her posing or playing with herself if she home alone and waiting for me to get home.

[DancingQueen16]

Me and my boyfriend talk almost everyday and I guess our relationship could be considered long distance because we haven't seen each other in person for a couple of months

[LazerBean]

Fairly often throughout the day while he is at work to check up on each other. It's a good amount to me.

[LiamSawyer]

I don't currently have a partner but if I did it would be daily.

[ventustalks]

That is what I would expect too. I understand

[LiamSawyer]

Thank you

[LiamSawyer]

You're very mature for 19.

[ventustalks]

Thank you!

[LiamSawyer]

You're very welcome.

[cunnilinguist]

I send like 1 text a year. Not to a partner, total. And what is talking time?

[Nikki1989]

Never. I have messages disabled on my phone.

[ventustalks]

Why exactly? This is an answer I did not expect. I am curious

[Nikki1989]

I hate texting as it is just a useless form of communication.

[serious]

@ventustalks

Well you know there are people who totally dislike texting. Instead they like face to face or phone call communications.

Hence what @Nikki1989 said makes sense

[ventustalks]

Of course it makes sense. I just find it surprising because I text a lot. I do understand it. That's cool

[serious]

@ventustalks

Yes and I am also a person who prefers texting. In that sense we have a similarity here.

[Wonderingguyy]

Yeah I love talking to her in any form. Sometimes I worry I’m annoying her too much lol

[Grond21]

We text every hour or so. Have for years. And we call 2-4 times a day

[exitseven]

Hardly never. Maybe every couple of weeks. I only do it if I have a good reason.

[Guido]

We only text when either of us is at work as we cannot answer our phones while working and then respond when we can. All other times we talk.

[balyai]

I'm happy but sometimes more time would be better for me

[ventustalks]

Why is it less than you want?

[balyai]

She's busy a lot sometimes

[msk3k3xx]

If he’s not at mine, we would text and call everyday.
I would want to talk to my partner everyday!

[SeaStorm1]

It depends. Is okays with texting but I'm talking don't have a partner at moment.
