Does anyone else here get grief if you don't text your girlfriend/wife? I'm generally not very good at texting anyone, I've still not managed to integrate the mobile phone with my social life really..

I got home from work yesterday and put my mobile in a drawer and forgot about it for the whole night. Now my gf is ****** off with me for not texting her all evening! This happens quite a lot.

Why is it that texting has become a social responsibility? Anyone feel the same?
 
thats another thign: replying to texts. I usually treat them a biot like emails and maybe wait for a while (up to a couple of hours sometimes) before replying. Now all of a sudden I'm expected to reply instantly! then you end up with text conversations that would have been much easier and less time consuming than the phone.
 
but then they don't phone you, and you start to loose touch with people. I'm not keeping up with the times! and I'm only 22! all this social networking and mobile phone stuff is moving way too fast.

I assume you don't live together? I only text my boyfriend if I need to tell him something and can't call for whatever reason but we live together so if we're both free then chances are we're doing something together anyway.

I would think that your girlfriends problem is about a lack of communication rather than texting specifically. The great thing about texts is that you can reply when you're free rather than waiting for both people to be able to talk on the phone. I would be annoyed if my boyfriend didn't talk to me at all in a day, we at least send a message to say "hi, how has your day been" or similar if we don't see each other.

Nah we don't live together. I think I just need to try harder tbh.
