Men in your 30s who don’t live with your SO, how often do you like to communicate with them?

Title is self explanatory. For context, 30F trying to figure out what the norm is.

    My first question is why do you care what the norm is? Understand your needs and true desires, that’s more valuable than understanding what’s “normal”

    Multiple times a day, every day.

    It varies a lot between couples, so I would not say there is a rule one way or the other. Some couples communicate all day about all sorts of things. Others basically never talk during work hours and only check in after hours.

    There’s usually a lot of communication early in a relationship until things get into more of a routine that both partners are comfortable with.

    For me, we spoke at least every other day, but more often we would check in every day at the end of the day. We would speak more frequently if something was going on, such as making plans for a family event, or if something important was happening in one of our lives.

    Definitely depends on the couple, before my gf and I moved in together we would often go a few days without any communication, but on other days we would exchange a lot of messages or have some phone calls or discord calls just chatting while we each did our own thing in the background.

    Once or twice a week hangout. Text a little every day usually just good morning and good night

    Communication (“Remember about the x you mentioned the other day”, “Please don’t forget to bring the x over when you come by”, “what time did you want to meet?”, ” I’m making x tonight would you like some?”, ” How’s your leg feeling today, did you try the ointment I gave you?”

    or

    Needless chirping ➡️(“Good morning”, “I’m at the gym”, “I am going grocery store shopping now”, “How come you didn’t call me this morning?”, “Are you home now?”, On Sunday night ‘getting texted…..”What are your plans next week?”, “I’m so irritated…..”

    There’s a big difference, imo, and not everyone is wired for both options on full throttle, while others can just keep going and going and going……

    Some people just don’t like talking on the phone for extended periods..
    Pick your poison 🤷🏾‍♂️
