Contact between you and your SO

[jiynx]

It used to be everyday, every minute. We'd spend all day talking on Skype, then when I was at work, he'd message me through facebook mobile (he has no phone) and then when I'm on deliveries, he would call me through gmail (free to any phone.. worth a shot if one of you doesn't have a computer). But he recently moved to a new town and is just starting to get friends again so our talks have been scarce for the past three days. Like Susanna426, I'm focusing on the fact that I get to see him in 11 days and try not to get upset/wierded out that we don't talk as often.

I call him twice a week and we talk for about 30-50 minutes. Besides that, I usually send him some random texts throughout the week. Our contact is very limited due to him not having internet access and also me being the one with the funds (sorta) for the phone calls.

My SO, and I used to text each other pretty much throughout the entire day. Now that I'm returning to work after summer vacation, its began to dwindle. It was really hard at first adjusting to going from chatting all day long to maybe 3-5 texts a day. Now I'm cool with it. I love him, and he loves me. We're going to be with each other. And at this point I'll take what ever communication I can get...

well before he deployed it was all day throughout the day we texted and we talked at night. Now he's gone alot so we get to talk every few days which sucks. Of course he will let me know he is back by poking me on facebook :P. We have gotten to Skype a few time so thats been nice...I will tell you it's been quite the adjustment but I'm getting more used to it now...

My So works two jobs ussually totaling 60+ hours a week so we don't get to talk a ton. We call each other twice a week. Ussually Fridays and Sundays because he has those days off, or at least he will only work one job those days. However within the last few weeks we have started to text every day even if we don't get to talk on the phone. His second job is a pizza delivery guy so he can text between runs and if work is slow he can text more often. We will just say hey hows your day going? what have you been up to today? what has been good or bad about today? We have started to play the random questoin game with each other when he's working the pizza place. He always tells me when he's getting ready to head off to bed (he gets up earlier so he typically heads to bed first) and we always say good night. For us this is enough communication and it works for us. We love talking with each other but are also both fairly independent people and kind of like having timr to ourselves too so not talking all the time is okay for us. Everyone works differently though.

Almost everyday. I think at the moment it's mostly talking on the phone. His schedule is 2 weeks of working and 2 weeks off. During his work time at the rig, we can't chat, we just talk on the phone. That doesn't happen everyday either as sometimes he can get so busy. But when he's home we can chat everyday. For some reason texting is not really our thing. I mean, we do text each other but the frequency is less that talking on the phone and chatting.

So I have a quick question about communcation with your SO. How often do you talk, is it daily, every couple days. Now im in a LDR thats international, so the time zone difference sucks. When we were both on spring break(when we first started Dating), we chatted everyday for hours. But now that were both back in classes and busy, we talk like every other day. I'll still send a message on FB or something daily. But i dont want to feel like a burden/bothering her for say. Or come across as being needy/pushy. But I'd just like to chat for sometime each day. So what do you guys think I should do. Thanks, I think she wants to chat more but her school work kills it.

I did not read the comments but i say DEFINITELY keep sending messages! DEFINITELY keep the communication alive! That is how you let her know that you care about her and that you love her.
There is no such thing as "too much communication" in long distance relationships. Besides it is not like you are calling her on the phone in the middle of her class (tho I believe even that is appropriate SOMETIMES). FB message or two every day is sweet.

Everyday as much as possible, and we play games together.
We only have a 1 hour difference between us too.

My SO and I talk every second that we can. But, that's just how we handle the distance. Whether it's actual phone calls or texting, we take advantage of it when we can.

Me and my SO are talking pretty much 24/7 ...well, not exactly because of different time zones (7 hours time difference) :/... buy I would say we're talking at least 10 - 12hrs a day, depends on if I stay up late at night or go to sleep early
We also exchanged phone #s and some times we're texting, but no calls yet... maybe Skype calls soon like in the next couple of months...

And we watch a lot of movies and series together or play games on omgpop and stuff like that, so yeah...

My SO and I talk daily. Weekdays we talk for about 2hrs before he goes to bed (with him being 5 hours ahead!) and on weekends we usually talk for about 6 hours a day! Not so today unfortunately... he was supposed to be online 3 hours ago and texted to say he won't be on for another hour. Hmph.

[WakeUpSusie]

my SO and I used to talk once, maybe twice a day on the phone. sometimes the calls would last an hour or more, other times it would only be for a few minutes. we also used to send a few texts during the day. we were both so busy with school and work and other things a that we didnt usually have time for more than that, even though we were both in the same time zone.

[HollzHeartsChris]

My SO and I talk daily. Before he went to school, we would literally be on Skype 24/7 and when he or I had to go out or something, we would text each other. Now he goes to school, we talk about 2 hours in the morning before he goes to bed, 10 mins roughly before he leaves for school and we text each other when he's in school. If I can't sleep, or I stubbornly stay up so that I'm able to see him after a day at school (since he's 8 hours behind, I have to stay up gone midnight in order to be able to talk to him), we might get about another hour or two. On weekends, we talk through the morning until he falls asleep on Skype to me and I normally fall asleep with him and then we talk all through the evening after he wakes up. I know this will probably change a little bit once I start university, but at the moment this is how things are and I absolutely love it

We try to talk as much as possible, though we do try to have a life apart from our LDR. I think that's very important. One shouldn't forget friends.(In the beginning I did neglect my friends. I wasn't handling the distance at all. I realized that meeting up with friends helps a lot. Even if it's never the same as spending time with him. It's all about distractions).
If I'm at university we only talk every second day and at the weekend. Well, it's important that I focus on my studies. Except if he's going away for the weekend. At university obviously I only have time to talk at certain times and only for a short time. Unfortunately you can't have very private conversations either.
We mostly skype. However if I'm not home, and we really want to talk, he calls me from skype or his room. We also write each other messages during the day. Well, he's seven hours ahead and he's in the Military, therefore that doesn't happen that
often.

We are texting each other all the time, everyday. And everynight we talk over the phone. Sometimes we are really tired (he after a heavy working day, me after a heavy class) so we just say good night, but most of the time we have longer conversations.

I think you should talk to her about your concerns and maybe build a chat schedule together.
