What is your Daily Routine with your SO?

[Zephii]

1. Do you talk to them each day? If so when?
Yep. Early on I'd wake up at 5am (lunch time in Canada) to msn or occasionally voice/skype. Then I'd write in my letterbook while we were both at school/work.
Then I worked from home for the last year of distance and wasn't allowed to get up at 5am so often msn would run most of the day and we'd check in with each other in between our classes. Then when I'd knock off work at midnight his time we'd connect skype and talk until he fell asleep, we'd sleep together and then at 2am my time when he got up for school he'd wake me with sweet words and I'd turn off my pc to save power.

It was a good system. It was inconvenient, but it made it seem like he was really there with me.

Now we see each other every day, but we talk -really talk - a great deal less. I have to remember to make time for us to check in with each other and do some "deep sharing". I see him for five minutes in the morning when he rushes out the door for work, or on the weekend drives me to work, and we try to dedicate our evenings to doing things together, reading, cooking, WoW, whatever. Occasionally we'll get a whole day off together too. I tresure those days. I never get sick of him, and I think LDR taught me the time management skills I still use to keep this relationship running.


3. How? Phone? Text? Email? Skype?
Never phone. I think we had five or so phonecalls and I treasure those memories. Txt was rare, but we managed it in the last two years before closing the distance. It was 50c a text for me though, so it was only used when I wouldnt have internet for a few days, or emergencies.
Once we discovered skype, email pretty much vanished, but msn was our main communication.

4. How often throughout the day do you talk?
We were LD so long it's hard to average that, but in the last two years of LD (the most important ones in my mind) we didn't talk so much as maintain a companionable contact. The msn windows would be open, or skype would be running, but that was to maintain the fantasy of being together and thus ease the distance strain. We weren't talking that much during the day. We often got quality time in the afternoon/evening though, usually at least 2 hours, on weekends he'd stay up with me until the sunrose in Canada and I was ready to sleep and those days we'd get 7 or more hours.
Compared to many people we talked A LOT. But we're both clingy needy people, so it was good for us.

[MrsExPrez]

I am so jealous of all of you! I can't believe how many of you talk everyday.
My SO says talking everyday ruins the spark and that we are already in a difficult situation, don't want to burn out, etc etc.
Although I don't like it obviously, relationships take compromise as you all may very well know. So I kinda convince him to spend more time talking with me, while still trying to give him his man time or whatever it is he likes to whine about. Meet in the middle.
So yeah, not every day.. typically every 2 days. But you know, there has been a week where it's everyday, there has been 2 weeks with nothing at all. Just depends.
And it's usually phone conversations. It WAS messenger because we had fun watching movies together and talking about them, but his stupid computer broke! Luckily he has somehow picked up a habit of texting me here and there.. we're talking about a very stubborn man who absolutely despises texting! So that has been fun for me. Especially naughty ones when you least expect it in the middle of the day!

[AllieBaba]

Do you talk to them each day?
Yes (:

If so, when...Soon as you wake up?
Yes, we start texting when we wake up.

How? Phone? Text? Email? Skype?
Text and phone, everyday.

How often throughout the day do you talk?
We are always texting each other during the day and finally at night we talk for a few hours before going to bed.

[nic&matt]

We talk almost once once a day (some days our schedule doesn't allow it). He texts me when he gets up, which is usually about 3 hours after I get up and we text until school for 20-30 minutes. Then when he's done with classes, if I don't have a rehersal we usually skype close to an hour. If I do have a late rehersal or something, we at least attempt to talk to the phone when I'm driving.

[narharhar]

Do you talk to them each day?
Usually talk everyday, might miss a day or two.

If so, when...Soon as you wake up?
If he's up when I wake up then yes. He has an odd sleeping schedule so it depends on whenever hes up.

How often throughout the day do you talk?
Depends, might be iming/texting all day or for a few min a day.

How? Phone? Text? Email? Skype?
MSN, texting sometimes, & Skype kind of randomly...usually for video games

[December]

Do you talk to them each day?
I talk to her every day. We're both going through some rough times, so the daily comfort is kind of needed, hehe.

If so, when... Soon as you wake up?
No. We both go to school and when we come back, which is usually between 3PM and 4PM we start talking.

How often throughout the day do you talk?
She doesn't have a texting plan, so we only talk when she is on her computer.

How? Phone? Text? Email? Skype?
We mainly talk and chat on Skype. Usually we just chat, but when her brother is out we also talk on webcam. I like the second option better... I think it's more personal and intimate.

[Caity]

Do you talk to them each day?
Yes, almost always.

If so, when... Soon as you wake up?
Indeed as soon as i wake up. I wake up to talk to him every morning before he goes to his work experience. It's been 6am since september, but from next week it'll be 5am as he changes work experience. I love being able to start his day off with a smile, and i'm so used to it now that not seeing him in the morning always feels weird. The time difference means that when he leaves i can start getting ready for school and i normally leave about an hour after he has left. We also talk in the evenings before we go to bed everynight unless he's gone out on the friday.

How often throughout the day do you talk?
Normally at least twice, an hour in the morning, and then 3-5 in the evening, depending what time we get home. Sometimes we'll sit and do other things whilst we are talking like homework or playing games or watching telly, but still talking with microphones.

How? Phone? Text? Email? Skype?
We always use msn. It's far too expensive to call each other, and we don't text very often at all neither. We don't email each other because we talk alot during the day so there isn't much need to. Whenever we're talking we're always on the webcam and mic at the same time which is really nice cause it makes us feel closer than just typing does. Being able to see and hear eachother is lovely.

our Daily Routine

Do you talk to him each day?
Yes
If so, when...Soon as you wake up?
Because of the time difference, when I get up he's still sleeping, so I have to wait a bit. Sometimes we talk during the day (it depends on classes), we always talk in the evening.
How? Phone? Text? Email? Skype?
Skype and sometimes email
How often throughout the day do you talk?
Usually twice a day, when we see each other online. Our Skype calls are usually 1h, with webcam (if the connection is not too bad!)

[Bølle]

We are on skype all the time *hi5's skype*, and of course no two days are the same... buuuut a standard day would be something like:

1. I wake up to the sight of her doing ... whatever .. on skype.
2. We talk about her day, plans for world domination, why all her favorit male actors are NOT good-looking and anything else of importance (or lack thereof) for a few hours while I get ready for work and she prepares for bedtime.
3. I go to work and 'kiss' her goodnight.
4. She sleeps. I work. Simple
5. I come home and do some random stuff, with her fast asleep on skype.
6. She wakes up / I wake her up.
7. We talk about my day, share a few odd youtube-links, laugh about all the fun stuff in the universe - nothing too ambitious - all while she prepares for work.
8. She 'kisses' me goodbye and I spend the rest of the afternoon trying not to die from dehydration or heatstroke :S
9. I go to sleep. Sometimes she just makes it home before then, sometimes not.
10. I sleep, she does whatever girlfriends do when you are not watching..
11. Repeat.

1. Do you talk to them each day?

Yes, we talk 3 to 4 times a day. Sometime less depending on the situation and our busy lives.

2. If so, when...Soon as you wake up?

She gave me a wake up call every morning at around 5 am and I would call her back to talk for 5 to 15 minutes depending on our conversation. Then, I get ready for work and at the beginning of my work, I call to say good night to her. Then, she goes to sleep (we have 15 hours time differences!) and I won't get to talk to her until around 3 pm - 5 pm (my time, which is morning her time). I called to say good morning to her (or rarely she initiates calling me).

Phone in the morning, evening and then yahoo webcam at night.

3 to 4 times
