How often do you text partner if don’t live together

[MusicMagpie197]

And how long have you been together.

Maybe 2-3 times a week

Been in a relationship for 15 years. Talk on the phone a couple of times a week too

But we are older which may make a difference. We've got our own lives and don't need a lot of contact between meets

Gives us more to talk about and catch up on when we do get together 🙂🙂

Just over a year together but known each other a lot longer. We message all day every day about random things, work, kids etc when we have time. There’s no start or end to our conversation. Also talk on the phone at least once a day.

My last relationship it was about 5 messages a day. I think it’s different levels of communication for different people but it’s important to find a compromise for you both.

Together 2 and a half years. Message throughout the day, talk on the phone every couple of days, see each other once a week, sometimes for an afternoon/evening, sometimes for a couple of nights.

There is no "right" amount and it shouldn't correlate to how long you've been together. The most important thing is that you communicate in the way that meets both of your needs.

That said, if youve been together a while and one party has suddenly changed an established "pattern" noticeably, and there are no major life events to explain it, that could be a red flag that one party is less invested or feeling insecure?
Talk to your partners directly x

Talk on the phone at least once per day and message on and off throughout the day and evening. We’ve been together 5 months.

I agree with the above poster - length of time together is irrelevant. A change in your normal communication pattern is what is relevant

If we dont see each other, tend to talk most days. Messgaes, general chit chat all day

3 years together, see each other fortnightly around custody arrangements and we text multiple times a day about anything and everything, including first thing in the morning and last thing at night, video calls 2 / 3 times a week.

Message a couple of times a day, meet up in person twice a week or so socially, and around once a week for longer period together. As I'm a compulsive communicator I have to hold back to make sure I'm not blethering on and making him feel he has to answer! New relationship.

I have other friendships (not romantic) where we can be messaging on and off all day about nonsense though. I like to talk...

Been together about 18 months, messages during the day are a bit more variable, depending on work etc.

Sometimes send voice notes for a change.

In our 50’s, see each other weekly at least but thankfully don’t live together.

Same as another poster. No real end to our convos we just talk on and off throughout the day with gaps obviously when busy at work/with kids. My DP does voice notes which I love but if its a short message he will text.
He will call me when hes on his way home from work or when hes in between clients so we speak on the phone at least once a day too.
We also send each other funny videos and reels which make us laugh/remind us of each other or linked to our interests.

Together 18 months
