Is it normal to be constantly on the phone with someone?

[LolaMacbeth]

I know a person (family) that entered a relationship a few months ago.
If they are not together, they are on the phone, like literally face timing and talking every waking second hehe

He goes to work in the morning, talks to her every break at work, then comes home while already talking to her on the phone. Literally entering the house on the phone already,I suspect she calls him as soon as he finishes work and he drives while on loud speaker. (He shares accommodation with me that's why I know, so no one starts wondering)

He then eats dinner while facetiming her, spends the evenings talking until it's time to sleep. This is everyday, has been for weeks hehe she doesn't work and he mentioned she is bored most of the time that's why they talk so much.

I just observe... but isn't this like bit much? Or maybe is just me I don't know. Was anyone like this on first months of relationship?

I know someone who is like this and I find it odd, because she is the complete opposite to me. She has bpd though, which sort of makes sense.

Nah that's bonkers really ott.

That sounds unbearably stifling to me.

It suits them and that's all that matters surely?

The classic test is does this stop them doing things they otherwise enjoyed? Are they still seeing other friends and their families?
If they are maybe they just love talking to each other. Maybe it'll calm down.

Sounds like she needs a job!

I've been like that with a couple guys. Get bored eventually you run out of things to talk about
Men mostly do it to get into your pants. I know this so it never works on me, I just like to talk

Sounds like the sort of thing obsessed teenagers do ... do they actually spend time together in person too?

yes! it is love.

But once they live together all that will stop. Its good to enjoy the honeymoon years.

I think it's pretty sweet. 💖

I had a friend who was similar to this, and I strongly suspect it was her boyfriend exerting control. If she was out with the girls he'd FaceTime 3 or 4 times over the course of the evening, presumably to check she was where she said she was. They lived together but she'd talk to him walking to work and then walking home, and on her breaks.

There were other signs than the constant FaceTime (he's very often 'randomly' walk past if she'd met a friend for coffee or lunch).

Not to say your friend's relationship is like this but worth a thought if either seems more reluctant than the other to be in constant contact.

Have they been watching the Posh n Becks documentary?!

They did this apparently when they first got together. David’s mum is clearly still not happy about it.

He used to videogame alot, play football with friends, hang out with my father. Now he dedicates his entire time to her talking on the phone when not together. Literally barricading himself in the living room talking on the phone so we can't listen... I mean I don't really want to be woken up by him talking so its good he does that atleast.

He doesn't clean, cook or anything around the house I'm the one that manages it but he didn't do anything before her so now is even worse...

He just lives here, it's cheaper for him he says and uses the house to eat his takeways, shower, shit, fuck and sleep.

They are in their late 20s so definitely not teenagers. Hehe

They do see each other as much as they can yes. I can't say anything really apart from when they use the house like a hotel.
But otherwise it's their life, I just think it's a unsustainable and unrealistic way.
