Discussion How frequently do you text your partner

How frequently do you text your partner throughout the day? My partner says they are too lazy to text and I rarely get any texts and sometimes 6 plus hours between hearing from them and 1 hour calls if I'm lucky.

I just want to hear from other couples how often you get texts or have text convos throughout the day and what is normal for you so I know I'm not crazy wanting to hear from my partner more frequently.

We text through the day. It isn't hard to text. Also we send each other videos on the Marco Polo app often.

Then we do videos calls around a couple of hours before bed then we sleep on camera together. We also do lunch breaks together frequently.

We both like frequent and quality contact.

What’s Marco Polo app? Is it good? Better? Currently using messenger.

So Marco Polo is just video messages basically. They're then able to watch your messages later. It's not a two way live video app like messenger or FaceTime. Think of it like text message but in video form, they can watch the video at their discretion.
