Contact between you and your SO

[meo]

My SO lives in Canada and I'm in the States, but we are still on the same time zones. Since it's a lot pricier to call, I call him using Google Voice which is completely free and we don't get charged! Which is awesome. But we talk a lot, basically any time we have. We both play video games together so we use a voice server called Mumble and chat through there when we are both on the computer. But we also always text and chat on the phone. So, I don't really have a number to give you of how much we talk, but it's quite a bit. : )

We talk everyday, but mostly at night. I work Mondays through Fridays and have mixed martial arts Monday, Wednesdays nights after work and Saturday and Sunday mornings. He has school, studies, and hangs out times, but we talk every night.. and although it mights seem lame.. we sleep with skype on. <3

My new LDR and I keep in touch frequently through Viber which is an iPhone App. There is also forfone which isn't quite as good because you have to keep the App on and you can't use a Bluetooth to talk. The worst part is if it crashes which is did recently and for several hours. It was a worldwide problem apparently based on feedback from Twitter and Facebook.

so cool me and my SO are the same nearly 24/7

[loveknowsnodistance27]

Our communication has changed a lot since last year. We try to text every day for a little while, maybe an hour. Sometimes we go a day or so without hearing from each other because of busy schedules. We talk on the phone more than we used to. We either talk on the phone or Skype usually once a week or once every two weeks now. =]

We usually text daily, the amount varies depending on our schedules. I work full time, and he's got a heavy class load. We also live in the same time zone but have very different sleeping schedules. I'm a morning person and he's a night owl.

My SO and I don't really communicate daily. We're in the same time zone. But our school and work load is so hectic that we can go few days with no text,call, or email. It sucks but I'm getting used to it by now...

My SO is veryy busy and the military has him in and out at the randomest of times, so that on top of a two time zone difference and an ocean. So we don't get to skype much. We basically send around 5-10 emails a day, usually only a few lines. Even if I know he can't respond, I know he appreciates the emails. He always emails when he's going to sleep and I do likewise. Twice this week I have gotten a clip of him speaking Norwegian before he went to bed. We also got to gtalk tonight for about 10 mins, so that was really nice!!

We have agreed on a weekly Skype/phone date, but neither of us has the tools to institute that yet.
I have been in close contact with him since he left a little over a week ago, sending him an email daily to ask how he is and try to keep him distracted, because he is not dealing with the change well, and I want to be there for him. Once he settles in and starts feeling happier, I'll dial it back. Where he is currently staying has no internet, and his access is very short and requires a trip into town, so he doesn't have access to chat, which is why I am emailing him instead. While he is unhappy, I intend to keep up the contact to try to do what I can from here. His posting will come through any day now, though, and once he has somewhere to go and an actual purpose again, he should be in a better mental place.

We text all day long and get to talk on the phone for a few mins randomly thoughout the day. We also skype sometimes too (but it has a tendency to make me really sad i know sounds crazy lol). But we go to bed every night on the phone together and dont hang up until the morning. It seems to help both of us sleep and works for us.

[Bethypoo]

We talk about every day, unless there is something going on. We always text good morning and here and there through the day. At night we talk tough. Always say good night. But if we are out or busy, we at least text goodnight.

[Ms.Justine]

My SO and myself are now CD so we talk everyday whether through text or phone calls. But in all seriousness I'm at his house all the time these days. But when we were in a LDR we talked everyday through text, skype and phone calls.

[nomnom_elf]

wow guys, you really do take the communication to the next levels. it makes me wonder if we are at risk of too LITTLE communication in our LDR. :/

my boyfriend has always said to me he loves me lots; but loves "missing me" too, i guess he means he loves the expectation of me coming back. he does like his space, and i respect that even when we were living togther, i knew when to give him room.

so saying that we webcam once a week, text each other when we feel like it and i send him care packages now n then. also visit 1 a month.

theres been only 1 time when i've gotten fustrated at him not replying to my texts so far- so i think we r ok really.

[Dziubka]

We talk for about an hour, sometimes a lot longer, sometimes only 30min, every day, before we go to sleep. Unless one of us is going out or otherwise busy, then we try to talk during the day.

We send some texts during the day, but it depends on what we're up to, if there's something to write about and if there's time to write about it. Speaking only once a week or even less, would definitely be too little for me.

Because of time difference and his work, it is hard to see each other if we won't sacrifice our time to spend with each other. I stay up late most of the time and wait for him til he comes back from work just to talk to each other a little. But usually, we talk around 5 times in a week by skype. But sometimes, we talk everyday for the whole week. Usually, we have one day in a week wherein we'll chat for more than 5 hours on skype.

He also send me text messages from time to time, just to say i miss you or i love you.
