I don't text.

It's nice, but certainly not expected. A barrage of texts every day can be annoying in any kind of relationship is annoying. One a day lets each other they are being thought of. Missing a day or two means they are human and sometimes simply can't or just need time for themselves.

Hell yeah!

Yes..that would be expected and perfectly reasonable,for either a call, or a text to ask how your day is going..or how it went etc

It kind of depends on the relationship. If it’s new then no, but if you’ve been seeing each other for a while then maybe.

Not every day. That seems a bit clingy.

Well, this shite is all newfangled witchcraft to me, being that this wasn't a thing 22 years ago.
However it's nice to hear a "how are you" , "whatcha doing" or a "i found this thing & thought of you" txt.
My pov is it's sort of dishonest to squish the impulse to let the other person know you're thinking about them. (yes I'm guilty) With that I'd not be blowing up someone's phone.

/a poll would have been nice / js

Hell no. Even when living with someone there are going to be busy days with opposite schedules where you might not see each other awake. Quality is more important than quantity.

If you personally need that level of attention from your partner then communicate it in a meaningful manner, but don't play it off as an expected standard if it hasn't been discussed.

I don't feel like it's an insecurity thing at all. You don't think a "Good morning sweet pea... Good night... Or ..A thinking of you picture or text..." is a sign of a healthy relationship?

That’s gonna differ with every relationship.
Generally, I would say no.
Expecting it denotes insecurity and/or a lack of trust in your partner.
That’s my view

Nope. Life is busy, many of us are doing many things. If there's an expectation, it sets the tone for an obligation. If rather send our recieve a message, or whatever else, when freely given out of sincerity.

Yes 100%. But since I'm an introvert, before the days of texting (and because I hate phones) my answer would be that I could go months without communication.

Yes. Long distance relationships define working for the weekend. But txt and talk fill in the gaps.

I can't imagine anyone who would care enough to check up on me daily.
That would be weird.

Yes, that seems reasonable.

If we're exclusive and calling each other girlfriend, boyfriend yeah.

If one of was crazy busy or had the type of job where you couldn't access a cell phone for 15 hours, it might be limited a few days but a few texts to show you're thinking of each other is always appreciated.

Yes definitely

VERY simple ........ YES!!

Yes. But, I'd want the communication out of want, not obligation/expectation. If the want is not there, and I felt in my bones the text or call was obligatory, that would be a red flag to me.

That said, I am introverted and I don't have a need or desire to have full conversations with a partner every day (assuming we don't live together). But, even then, I'd still touch base, say good night or whatever.

Not necessarily.
If there isn't "enough" communication occurring to satisfy one party's expectations, a conversation needs to happen.
No one can realistically expect anyone else to live up to their expectations if they don't even know what they are.
Further, the other person is under no obligation to live up to your expectations, even if they do know what they are.

No, and if I were concerned about it, I would have a conversation with her about how often we should communicate.

Even when I split up with my boyfriend and moved away from him he literally texted me and called me every single day there was not a day that we did not spend at least 30 minutes if not longer on the phone. I think it has to do with the longing you have towards the person you want to be with

It would be nice but to expect it would mean it wasn't a healthy relationship

When I was dating, I liked getting a text message. Some people see that as overbearing, but honestly, it just let me know there was no emergency going on like a car accident. Staying in touch is so easy nowadays between FaceBook, SnapChat, InstaGram, text message, etc. that it really doesn't make sense to struggle sending a small message, unless you're taking a trip away from the internet altogether, in which case your partner will be expecting that.

Slight edit to say that we are past dating and have twenty years between us. Still makes me weak at the knees to see him come in the door again though......?
