Seriously, I don't need that. Contact me when there's a reason, constant little nothings that require responses every time would drive me nuts pretty quickly, and send me packing.

Sharing the minutia of one's day is an important element in a relationship....

My new girlfriend sends me messages during the day while she is working, but I don't find them boring and she does it because she wants me to know she is thinking of me and that I am important to her.

Interesting. But is their texting due to infatuation with you or desperation at being lonely?
