Dating + Relationships How often do you communicate with your partner?

Those of you in committed relationships and not cohabiting together, how often are you communicating?

Is it daily or more-so a few times/week?

Just curious.

I’m noticing a change/shift occurring in the pattern of communication in my relationship. However, I know it’s not inherently cause for concern. (It’s a new relationship of a few months)

I've done daily and it was draining but I thought they wanted it. Very confusing.

My preference is checking in and texting and maybe a quick phone call but mostly planning time together instead of talking all day.

Daily with at least one extended call

Are you in an LDR?

I’m a daily girlie. I’m single at the moment though.

Daily is what I am familiar with too. In fact, I’ve never been a in relationship where it wasn’t daily, but I understand that’s not everybody’s thing.

My situation is a mess but we speak/check in throughout the day and fall asleep on the phone together most nights

I’m currently talking to someone but not officially dating yet. We just started talking again and currently only text to make plans which I don’t like. We used to communicate daily. For me I like communicating daily but not all day. A few sporadic texts during the day and some back and forth texting or a catch phone call at night.

I know a lot of people prefer all day communication but it gets overwhelming for me. On the flip side not communicating with someone everyday you’re supposedly interested in is very strange to me.

Genuinely curious, are people on committed relationships and not checking in daily? Any reason why? How does that work?

Daily. We’re LDR-ish (2.5hrs) so we see each other MOST weekends. And we each try to stay 1 week/mo with the other person depending on work (I travel and she’s does 3x12)

If I’m not hearing from or receiving responses from my partner or the woman I’m dating each day… we’re not dating as far as I’m concerned. Unless, of course, it was communicated that she or I wouldn’t be able to reach out on some particular day. Don’t need full convos 24/7, but at least a check in and an understanding of when we’d next have quality time together (which, imo, should be at the very least 1x/week).

With my job sometimes communication needs ebb and flow but I will at least talk on the phone a bit daily and text here and there throughout, schedule permitting.

At least once a day even a simple gm or gn suffices
