    How long do you talk to your SO on phone everyday?

    For those who talked to their SO on phone everyday: how long do you normally spend on phone?

    This is my first week in LDR and we talk on phone for about 30 minutes every afternoon (his night, my afternoon) before he goes to bed and 3 minutes every night (his morning next day, my night) as a morning call. We'll try webcam for the first time this weekend.

    My boyfriend has ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) so I think it's better if we have shorter conversations or he will just be distracted by something on his computer or the TV. But I somehow feel there's still something I want to say after we hang up, I don't know if it's a lack of time or attention...any ideas?

    Usually an hour or more every day.

      I roughly talk on the phone with my boyfriend a little over 1 hour a day. My boyfriend has ADD too and gets distracted easily, but we still talk for long periods of times some days. The next time you feel like there's something you forgot to say, write it down. Then the next time you two talk you can bring it up

        A couple of hours some days, much shorter other days, and sometimes not at all. I don't think there's a "normal" amount of time for anyone, I think you just fall into a pattern of what works best for you both, depending on the situation at any given time. It takes a few months sometimes to work it all out and get comfortable.

            We don't talk every single day, but when we talk it's mostly 1 hour up to 2-3 hours. Depending on how long I can keep my SO awake.

              Does skype count? Usually a few hours when I get home from work, and a bit before work depending on our schedules.

                it depends on the phone card i get and whether or not she has free calls on the weekend. With phone cards i usually get the 36 minute ones so its a half hour on weekdays, on the weekends if she has free weekends on her cell and i have a normal house phone its unlimited cause we use Jaxtr or rebtel

                  There is no normal. And as far as I am concerned...it is quality of the time. A five minute call can be sooo fufilling some days.

                  We talk often. He works overnights...4 days a week... On the other three days we talk more....but it changes day by day..

                    It just depends on the day. Some days, he calls right after getting off work and we talk for 10-15 minutes and that's enough for us. Other days, we talk when he gets off work and then we talk on the phone for an hour or two that night. So yeah, it just depends.

                      We don't talk every day. When we do, it's for about 15 minutes when he's on his way home from work, as that's the best time for both of us. I've only gotten to talk to him on the phone once since I saw him last, but he's supposed to call today. Here's hoping.

                      When we were international, we would skype for about an hour a day if it was possible. I don't know if it will be once the internet at his house gets set up, simply because of my schedule as opposed to his. I don't like to be on the computer too late, as it makes it harder for me to fall asleep.

                          I agree there is no normal amount of time just what works best for you two. Some days i only spend a few minutes talking to him and other days we will talk for 2-3 hours just depends on both our work schedules and plans for the day. If im having a bad day sometimes just hearing his voice for those few minutes is enough to cheer me up.

                          You'll find a pattern that works for both of you

                            We used to talk A LOT more than we do now, but I have gotten used to it. Now, my SO works over 50 hours a week, so he is really busssy. Most of our phone calls are short, lasting anywhere from one minute to five or fifteen minutes, but several of those everyday add up. Now, I am really busy too, taking 17 hrs in school and involved in two extracurricular activities, so now it is even harder to find time when we both aren't busy lol. We try to schedule a "date" almost every week though, and we will talk for at least an hour to two hours then

                              We talk for about 2-3 hours everyday, for a short period on the phone, then we either use yahoo or skype, depending which one is working for us that day haha. Some days it's less when both of us are busy. My boyfriend has adhd, it was difficult there for a bit, but we have made it through .
