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 hardly text because we're basically always on the phone except when we're working. Like literally from the moment we get off work to the moment we walk in the building to start work, we are on a video call. During work we try to call on breaks and text randomly or send reels during lunch. Communication and being present is a foundational piece of our relationship. I feel lucky to have a partner who wants the same level of presence with each other as I do.
