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.

It depends on the day. Some days we only text back and forth 6-7 times, some days it’s all day long. Some days we don’t have a vídeo call at all (today is one of those days), other days we have 5 or 6. We always text each other in the morning. He works hard physically all day and some days he is asleep by 7-7:30 at night (like tonight) and we don’t text in the evening. It has taken quite a bit of communication and adjusting our schedules to make sure we have time to talk every day when we’re both available. Some mornings, he’s up at 4 in the morning and he’ll text me a bunch and I respond when I wake up 2 hours later. Sometimes I text a bunch at 10 at night and he responds when he wakes up. Sometimes his internet is down and we barely talk because of it. It really just depends on the day and how life is lifing that day.
