Previous relationship I was with someone who expected to be in contact by text for a lot of the day so I’m not really sure what a ‘normal’ amount of contact in a relationship is. Does this sound ok or am I expecting too much/putting up with too little?
Boyfriend is away visiting his day for a week (in the UK so no problem with phone signal/WiFi etc), it was my birthday yesterday, he sent me a text in the morning saying happy birthday and we exchanged a couple more texts just about what we were doing that day. I didn’t hear anything else from him the rest of the day.
I get that he’s away with his family and I wouldn’t expect him to be texting me all day but I was a bit disappointed he didn’t check in again in the evening even to just say hope you had a nice day. It just feels like he’s done the bare minimum on my birthday (didn’t get a card/gift from him before he went away) and I would have liked a little more thought or should I not have expected that since he’s away and we haven’t spent the day together?
