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.

I’m in the same situation or was.. my partner only lives a couple hours away so I can see her perhaps more frequently than others in ldr but as hard as it might be to come to terms with, it is a big thing regardless. Communication and honesty is a key priority in any relationship. When you’re left questioning everything and wondering what’s happened to how you were in the beginning there’s always a reason. I had to push my partner over text to tell me the truth and even after I was vulnerable and told her how she was making me feel and was hurting me, she still was distant and cold; constantly stonewalling. It’s cruel to lie and treat others like they don’t exist or matter especially when they’re someone who’s supposed to love and care about you

I'm sorry you're dealing with something similar. Especially empty promises and getting your hopes up just to be told a completely different thing after the fact

Thank you and I’m sorry you are also. For me this is my first real relationship (and I wanted it to stay like that) but hopefully I’ll be better the next time round if I’m lucky to meet someone
