when you're in a relationship

[Sharon]

when ur in a relationship with someone/like someone do u want to talk to them all the time? as in textin them or w.e

peesonally i do cos i don't like being apart from him at all n the longest we will go without speaking is like an hour or two if somethin came up lol. the longest i have ever gone without talkin to him is like 18 hours or somethin stupid lol n that was because he went camping and left his phone in the car accidentally so it couldn't have been helped n i wasn't even coping well (tweeted bout 100 times that day on about how angry i was cos i had no idea why he wasn't replyin god I'm clingy...) we just both enjoy each other's company n there's no point trying to play hard to get as if we both have rly busy lives. i also know where he is all the time and what he's doin lol not even that i care or am super jealous we just speak that much that i kno where he is all the time

however i was in a relationship once when he was constantly texting me alllll the time even when i was basically so ill i was dead n he wouldn't leave me alone so i got ****** off and ended the relationship lol

i know some couples rly like space tho and have their own lives a lot so just depends rly

[Derrener]

yes oml im rly bad lmao

nah not really, usually text throughout the day if i'm into a girl but not constantly

think it's good to give each other space

you start to realise when you stop how much time you've put into texting

Currently I'm living at my house half the week, and Char's for the other half of the week because of Uni at the moment, so I guess I'll answer as if I was at my house...

We have the occasional text/FB message throughout the day, checking up on each other, at night we'll ring each other. Some nights you'll have a 2 hour conversation about what happened that day, other times you'll have a quick 'Love you and good night' because both of you have literally done nothing all day. If we're doing work together, we'll be chatting on FB all day.

in past relationships yes, for a month or so. same as how when i like someone it's usually intense and talk all day for a month then it fades out and they begin to annoy me.
havent hit that stage after 2 years of non-stop talking, longest we've went is a few days when i was on holiday. probably helps that we don't see each other everyday. i don't *need* to talk to him or have an overwhelming desire to but when i wake up or go to bed first thing i do is text him. & we will be doing our own things but msg each other every half hour or something just as a way to let them know you're thinking of them i spose. or sometimes we will put on skype and not actually talk, it's just nice to know they're there. or when we're together and im doing uni work i go over every 40 mins or so to cuddle him

how long have u been together? it might subside and if it doesn't and you're both happy to continue the amount you talk then good!!

it depends who with, i was with someone for 2 and a half years and i had a better year and a half when they moved away and i saw them once a week than i did when he lived near me, guys understand i'm not really a texting person but i wouldn't go a day without a 'how's work been' etc the average talk but we wouldn't force each other to make a conversation

you value your time a lot more when you haven't really spoke/seen each other from my past experiences
the relationship i'm in at the moment is really good though because i don't feel like he's irritating me when we're together for ages, there is a limit though... but being able to get my head down for exams now is going to be good without him

he's looking for a place for us at the minute though so to be fair if that happens, i'll be on the news for murder when he's not at work

if im busy i wud text them less. if im bored i would text them loads. calls in the evening usually.
thats how i usually am

only read the first line but no i need space for myself too, cant handle 24/7 contact

[wixard]

haven't had a relationship in years but we texted throughout the day and SKYPED at night and like 3-4 days a week id meet him after school or whatever to hang out

with other people I've been SEEING over the years I just adapt to what that persons like, if they wanna talk all the time I will but if they only like the odd text each day im fine with that too. really though im super clingy and would love to talk non stop all day every day but im just good at hiding it

I'll talk about a couple of experiences as they're so different, but I know which I prefer even though it annoys me sometimes!

When I was with my ex Scott, we used to text a lot throughout the day, but we had college at the time so we knew we couldn't be constantly doing it. It was all going great then it sort of changed. Basically, I'd finish college or he would and he wouldn't really text me, so I'd text him in the evening asking him what he was doing and everything, how was college, the usual. We'd text for like 5 minutes and he'd text 'brb' 5 hours later he would still not text back so I ask him what he's doing again and he says going to bed? That was the basic of it every day for ages, it really went to about a week before thought it's enough talk to me already. He told me that couples manage fine with not talking to each other every day... yes couples who see each other more often than once every couple of weeks. It wasn't too long after that we broke up. However, sometimes he wouldn't text and I didn't know why - 31 hours went by when I got a text off him, I was so worried and his excuse was no signal; he didn't think to ask his sister to message me as she got signal. Another was when he finished college or work about 10pm and didn't text me back, I thought something had happened to him and apparently he just went to sleep, he could have text on the bus home or as soon as he finished and it was safe to do so.

My ex Max and I have text from day one and have never stopped, literally we kept texting for 13 hours the first night and although we don't constantly text every hour of the day it's been nice having someone to talk to there. There's only been one day I think when we couldn't text as his phone was broke, but we were on Facebook and stuff instead so it didn't really matter! I've enjoyed texting him everyday and it's not too overbearing. Even when we broke up he said I'm just worried we won't text each other everyday anymore .
