Texting your partner

I don't text often any more I just call them up.
Though i find it amazing you're only 22 but you're having trouble integrating a phone to your social life. I feel naked without my mobile phone, it's much more difficult to get in touch with people.

It really riles me up when I cant get hold of my parents because they didnt take their phone out with them.... sure I could be dying in a street corner but obviously they don't care if I wanted to phone them and say good bye before I died. I'm sure its happened many a time :p

My dad doesn't understand mobiles and my mum can barely use one! lol

Drives me insane that she takes it out but only switches it on if she needs to make a phone call. I've told her so many times the battery last's at least a few days but she still forgets!!
 
I text me GF throughout the day and she does me - but we don't expect each other to snap to attention and reply instantly, we are both busy and we know the other will reply when they are free - and we both know when is not a good time to text people.

Sounds like she needs to calm down - you're not attached to your phone, and if she really needed to talk to you she could ring you, or your house phone if it was that important.

My girlfriend used to be a little bit like this, but I think she's grown accustomed to how I am over the 18 months we've been together!
 
i used to get grief, then i became single, she still wants me to text straight away whenever she decideds she feels like texting me haha

OMFG You don't love me.




:p
 
My girlfriend can get urine-y (silly filter) about it if i go too long without some form of contact. She has grown to accept that just because i'm not texting her on the hour every hour, doesn't mean i don't love her.. just as i accept that she's a freak that needs to be reminded via short message service every 5 minutes in order to verify that i do.

Since it's free (<3 magic numbers), i do text her a couple of times in an evening if we're apart for whatever reason, then before i go to bed (she likes to have a message to wake up to on the rare nights we spend apart). She's been in Indonesia for the past 3 months though, and my phone bill was not impressed. She has since been demoted to 2 texts a day wether she likes it or not ;)
 
I get this too with my GF and it drives me mad at times I have to say. If I haven't made any contact within 3 hours I feel like a search party has been lauched to find me!

I've actually spoke to her today and asked to ease up abit on the txting and calling.
 
Used to be that if texts weren't responded too fairly sharpish (obviously when she knew I was 'free', no issues at work or whatever) that my ear would be bent over it. It soon settles down, and it's now a case of a few texts a day - once to let her know I'm work safe, same back from her, then the odd one throughout. We just ring otherwise.

Well annoying when out with mates who are attached to their Inbox. But then I remember those days too haha.
 
Sometimes texting is a pain, much easier to phone or IM.

Me and the GF dont live together but I will text her every other day probably and phone her a similar amount, unless I am bored.
 
I nearly threw my mates phone out onto the M6 last year when we drove 250 miles to Swansea to sell his car. His other half was bitching and moaning he hadn't got home yet (we'd just got there!) and he hadn't text her. His phone was going off every 5 mins as we set off back and I felt like calling her and telling her to get her own bloomin life!

Anyway, I don't have that problem. I text my gf when she texts me and if I don't text back immediately its not a problem. She doesn't harass me with 5 millon texts a day becasue I'd tell her to shove it if she did but I know shes a worring type so I keep in touch when I can. Helps forget about work too.
