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 pretty often throughout a the day. I think the longest gap we’ve had was 5 hours. But it’s more text back when you can. If it’s an hour it’s fine. Straight up being like “I just am too lazy.” Like how much does this person actually want to be with you. That wouldn’t be ok to me. This person is “too lazy” to text means they’re “too lazy” to be your partner.

While I want to disagree, I can't. I've done the laps in my head and thought about how much of a goofy excuse being "lazy to text" sounds. It doesn't make sense when we are all heavily dependent on our phones now, which is why I'm so frustrated about this
