How often do you and your partner text?

[Lalalalaaaaaa85]

We never text as we work for the same company so pre covid would see each other at lunchtime and now we’re WFH so he’s in the next room...I just shout . I text friends all day every day though in various group chats or private. I never ever make calls

 

[Rippedjeanmaybe]

My partner and I live together and have been together five and a half years. Pre Covid when we were both working full time in separate offices we would still text each other throughout the day, not loads, but just every so often.
Now because we are both home all the time obviously we don’t generally text each other because we are in the same house in the next room, although if he’s on a call I might text him if I need to ask him a question.
We don’t feel we run out of things to talk about, even now that we are home all the time, we are quite a talkative couple with each other, although with that being said we don’t mind silences, we’ve been together a long time so silences aren’t awkward between us. We just enjoy each other’s company.

We live together, text everyday, starts with a good morning and just chit chat when we’re free in between work, how’s your day going etc or if something funny has happened. Lots to talk about when we get home. My partner worked away until September so I think that contributes, we went 4 years talking whilst at work so we’ve carried it on. Not as much as previously but enough

Not that often. If I'm having a tit day at work or see something funny I might text him. I'll sometimes text to ask how his day is going or he will text me to ask how I am but it's not a regular thing. Also romantic things such as we need bread, have you seen my item etc. Though occasionally I do get a "love you" which makes me smile

A guy he used to work with would have three calls a day. What the hell do they talk about at home?

Someone I work with his gf calls him at her mid morning break lunch break and then on the way home . Me and my fella do text a bit but not a lot. Similar things like get wine or get bread or the occasional have a good day love you . I don’t have time to text during the day to be honest .. me and my friend send each other voice notes all day which is easier. Or he will ring me to ask how our son is if he is working late .. we also live together. I usually text him asking how his day is and then he will ring me abit later on as he isn’t a big texter

 

[Lollipop2123]

We WhatsApp a lot throughout the day. Either practical things or silly things etc. Always have! Been together 15 years. I don't think there's a right or wrong amount xx

 

[Silly Sausage]

Maybe once or twice a week.

 

[Readread]

Pre-covid, we'd text during the day when we're at work a few times. Now we don't really text at all as we both are at home. Sometimes I'll send him asking for something or whatever if I'm being lazy and can't be arsed to go downstairs to ask .

We're in a few group chats together so we text in that but not directly messaging each other.

 

[Facehugger]

We don't live together but I text him once a day in the week to let him know I've got to work safely. Bless him, if I don't he panics I've been kidnapped by or something! Other than that, never, unless it's something urgent or just something I've forgotten to tell him to do.

 

[Pixipoppy]

Together 7 years and lived together for 3/4 years - when we were both working in our respective offices we would text maybe once or twice, something like “how’s your day going” or usually just to ask the other a question like did you remember to take the bins out. Now we’re home together most of the time we don’t text much except to sometimes send a funny meme or if one of us goes to the shop.
Before we moved in together it was a lot more, I think when we were first dating we pretty much used to have a constant text “conversation” going.

Just looked... the last text I sent him was 4 weeks ago asking him to turn the oven on. Romance isn’t dead ladies

You never see that in romantic dramas do you! Imagine Humphrey Bogart saying to Lauren Bacall in Casablanca, "Here's lookin' at you kid! Oh, and did you switch the oven on?"

 

[bubbadabut]

3 or 4 times a week, nothing interesting and that's the way I like it. No Messenger or WhatsApp either. When I see my sister, she constantly gets texts/calls from her husband. That would do my head in.

 

[Lizzie Mintdrop]

Rarely, occasionally we send each other a shopping list or the odd joke. Sometimes I'll send him a link to something we might want to do if we are going away.

 

[Peartree]

I’m married, I’ve just looked, he last sent me a text on Wednesday when I was in Argos and he wanted me to get a delongi microwave

 

[watermelon sugar]

I'm on maternity leave so if he's at work he'll text me a few times to check up on us, other than that never really

 

[Fairypop]

We text occasionally during the day, not every day though. It’s almost always shopping lists or reminders

 

[Kim Mild]

My husband and I text each other if we think of something to tell each other. Or use messenger. We'd probably forget if we waited until the evening.

Sometimes we text from different rooms in the house instead of yelling, especially if the baby is asleep .

 

[theghosttown]

God I’m really in the minority. Married and been with my husband for nearly 4 years. We text during the day as and when he’s able to ( im furloughed )! I’m a big texter (I use WhatsApp) and prefer it over phone calls.

 

[Lilbear1]

Lived together 9 years now. Text maybe 2-3 times a day and talk 2-3 times a day(if free) and still cant wait to see each other every night. But had alot of arseoles before this

 

[Giggling Squid]

We’ve been together almost 9 years... lived together for 8. Pre-covid we’d occasionally text during the day for questions, instructions for dinner etc. Now he works upstairs and I work in the kitchen, so we text quite often but mostly “are you on video, I need a cup of tea” and “look what the silly kitten is up to”
