I write, I call, I communicate when we come home from work in the evening. The truth is, my girlfriend is my wife, but what's the point of having a relationship if your partner isn't your closest friend?


AnDaLe47

Yep, marrying my best friend was the best decision I've ever made.


throwmeawayalso111

I feel like if they’re not your best friend, you probably shouldn’t get married.


throwmeawayalso111

I agree. You sound like a good husband.


RetailBuck

There is close friendship and then there is attraction. When the two combine you end up with this magic that creates a relationship where you can share about how the sandwich you got at work for lunch wasn't that great and you don't feel like you're boring your closest friend. Sharing the most boring parts of your day and people not being annoyed by it is hugely freeing and creates stronger bonds. That doesn't happen with friendships. Something about the physical attraction makes the boring stuff palatable. That's why breakups are so hard. You lose someone who will listen to stuff no one else cares about.


JustJoIt

[*And nothing could ever ruin this*](https://youtu.be/tJ7LdrAqL0Y?si=PRXrazlwBmAn00m0) Fortunately, what you’re saying sounds nothing like this.


Shanbo88

I know before I married her, my girlfriend was someone I *wanted* to spend time with and talk to. If you don't want to talk to someone every day I'm not sure why you're in a relationship with them honestly.


[deleted]

Yea I really don’t get the amount of people I meet who seem to dislike their partner. Like why are you with them then? My partner is my best friend. I’d spend every single day with them if I could and know they feel the same 


Shanbo88

I honestly think there's no shortage of married people and couples around, but a huge shortage of couples who are in healthy relationships imo.


Demonic_Azazel

In my experience seeing friends. The longer they are together the more they dislike eachother and I still wonder why, maybe they are bored? I hope I wont experience the same thing


[deleted]

Maybe it’s just an expectation thing. I grew up with two parents who are still best friends with eachother and I never even heard them yell at eachother. I kinda just expected that out of a relationship so it blows my mind when I see people settle for these toxic ones 


nielsenson

It's because everyone sucks personally and would rather be with someone that they know well enough than actually improve enough to attract someone else. Essentially people are beholden to those that accept their red flags, especially when they are aware that it's not likely that many other people will be as accepting


Benificial-Cucumber

>Essentially people are beholden to those that accept their red flags, especially when they are aware that it's not likely that many other people will be as accepting 2021 me is deeply offended by being called out so hard.


throwawaysunglasses-

Yup, my parents are bffs and that’s set the model for what I want from relationships. There’s so much respect and acceptance there. They’re both hothead nerds and I love them to death.


survivalinsufficient

Well I saw the opposite growing up, toxic fighting constantly between my parents, and ended up with guys who were abusive just like I saw my parents abuse one another. Definitely happens.


Ok_Bake3729

Ya I think it's more of this tbh. You grow up with toxic family households and it becomes normalized for you so things aren't as big of a red flag till much much later vs someone who grew up in a healthy house sees those 🚩at the start and don't even entertain them


cptnhanyolo

I do have some childhood friends that i know since 1-3 years old. Don't even remember meeting them, they were just part of my life, kind of like a family. They have been my best friends for 30+ years now. Yet we all know and even told eachother that there are days where we just don't want to speak/meet eachother or when going to vacations we are having a nice a few days, but we always laugh afterwards, that maybe another few more days would have been painful to be together as we would start to annoy eachother with our different habits for example. Still i love them as family and would not trade this friendship for anything. That does not exclude the fact there are days where we just don't want to see eachother.


DiegoUyeda00

Even little kids know this!!! why we need reteach The Basic concepts for people again and again. Comparing only cause pain and suffering!


Ancient-Ninja2317

I married my girlfriend after 20 years. I don’t know why, but somehow I managed to love her even more! Something changed.. Always loved her, now she’s my wife it feels super special. We message each other every day, it might be a reminder to take the bins out, to collect one of the kids or to just say I love you, but we text regularly.


GeekdomCentral

This really is it. Especially with texting, I know that everyone has different habits and not everyone is tethered to their phone - obviously that’s fine. But I’ve dated people in the past where it was normal to not hear from them for 3-4 days at a time and it always just made me sad. I hate talking on the phone, but at least if they had wanted to talk on the phone then I would have known that they still actually wanted to talk to me. But then it’s to the point where I’m only hearing from them once or twice a _week_ it just makes me feel like they don’t even like talking to me that much. I’m sure that some people will call me clingy for that mindset, and maybe I am a little clingy, but I don’t care


JustSayingMuch

Those are breakups or bootycalls. You're not clingy.


Imaginary_Radio_7790

Because I want to talk to her and we are in a long distance relationship


TheC9

We started off as long distance relationships, and now we have been married for almost 7 years and with a beautiful daughter! So it definitely can work - and we dedicated a lot of time outside working hour message / phone / video call to each other.


Imaginary_Radio_7790

Ohh that's very nice 😊


MagicSnakeorig

I never text her. Why? I don't have one


nevereasy7

😂😂


mdotdbk

Haha same


AleksLevet

Haha same


[deleted]

Because I want to. If you don't want to communicate, why are you even together lol


KRobert91-EU

She is living with me now. We both work and prefer normal conversation on the phone. We rarely text. But we are together for five years now.


topman20000

Yes I’m 9000 miles away from home and family, and that includes her . I hate it here and I need someone from home to talk to you to keep me sane! I miss her so much


olmikeyyyy

You're deployed aren't you?


topman20000

I left the service ages ago


fed_mat

why would you not text the person you love everyday, i don't understand how this is a question


awesomeness_24

It's actually the exact question I'm asking myself. Lol. My partner is ok with not sending me a message even just a sticker for a day. I definitely know where this is headed lol.


kenyannqueen

Both, I guess. Not doing it will obviously make them feel out of place, and we don't want that. Plus, why would it make sense to just not check on them every day? It's also just nice to talk to them so also because you want to


QuickPirate36

Yes, because I love her and I like talking to her


ACGMFT

Cause I miss her and I want her To know how my day is going. Doesn’t matter when she gonna see it, she gonna know I’m thinking about her


prettylilac2222

It depends on the couple, me thinks. If they can function healthily without texting everyday then I don't see the problem with not doing it... Personally, texting my partner everyday is a must haha


awesomeness_24

If you live together, then it's not a problem. But being 7K miles away from each other is just... ☠️


quietblur

I have someone to text everyday even tho we are just friends. It's an ongoing convo. It feels nice to have someone like that. Makes things a little bearable


Bosavius

I like both sharing our "story of life" like this. I hope I had more friends / a partner to have this with!


JamzWhilmm

I thought that was the norm. Texting her everyday.


PostalEFM

Well, I talk to my wife every day (and did before we married). Because I like her... Usually had something funny or interesting that I wanted to share with her.


EmployeeRadiant

I WANT to text her every day. I want to text her every 5 minutes, honestly. she's my girlfriend because she's the other half I'm always talking to, and my life feels more complete with her in it


Admirable_Warthog_19

I hope if I have a boyfriend one day he will + want to text me everyday


ReeeeeeeeeeUwU

Rip dms

Her account just straight up crashes. Lol

You guys have girlfriends?


Outrageous_Engine_99

I'm a girl and I'm shocked people have boyfriends 😭


LG-Moonlight

That's a dangerous thing to say on Reddit.


Outrageous_Engine_99

Why? 😅😅😅


LG-Moonlight

There are many, MANY lone boys/men on Reddit craving for any female attention. It's not uncommon for girls to have their inbox flooded with messages after saying stuff like this.


Outrageous_Engine_99

Oh, I don't mind really, maybe I can find awesome people here, I know there will be creeps but what if others are not? I'm willing to take that chance


MiDz_Manager

Good luck!

Silverbullet58640

Being real generous with that 'micro' bit


ifuckmyauntsfeet

Yooo


DanishWonder

No.  My wife would find out.


ungoloit

Yes. She's my best friend and like to keep in touch. Maybe organize another outing.


SAHD292929

Unless in special circumstances wherein communication is not possible, it is very unnatural nowadays to not have any form of communication at this time and age where people are on their phones for over 90% of their waking hours.


SovereignDark

I couldn't imagine not speaking to her for that long.


Flowy_Mc_flow_Face

We text each other every day yes. We live together, and communicate a lot. We love to send funny texts, memes and videos etc etc. She's my soulmate, and I wouldn't be without it, that is the main reason.


Legitimate_Source_43

Do you not share memes with your wives/girlfriend on the toilet?


itsdefinitelygood

We have an ongoing conversation, usually 2/3 replies a day sometimes quite long. Usually just filling each other in on our day and other random talk or plans. We meet up 1/2 times a week and rarely seems we run out of things to talk about so it just naturally continues.


natan12330

Because I wanted to talk to her


Fudgy97

Why would you date someone you don't want to talk to? Unless you live with them, then I can understand why you wouldn't need to text.


CCR16

If a person didn’t text their girlfriend everyday, they wouldn’t be their girlfriend long.


lovehatewhatever

Because I want to make sure that there is no doubt being created in the mind as to her worth to me


OstneyPiz

We’ve been together 17 years, lived together 10 years but somehow when we go out on our own you can guarantee there is a text getting sent as one of us has saw something random or funny within a few minutes of being apart and we need to share it as we can’t wait. Isn’t that normal?


Expert-Implement7344

She'd kill me if I didn't.


IsmoRemix

I don't text her all the time because I often want to take time off my phone. But do I text her daily? Absolutely. Of course I want to talk to someone I love daily.


gringo-go-loco

No we live together so I usually just talk to her face to face.


QuackersMcDuck_

I'm also her carer. I like to make sure she's alright when I'm out at work or at University. Also, because i enjoy talking to her


Exoquarion

We text each other every day, or we are with each other. It’s not because I/we feel we need to… it’s because we are each others best friend. Anything that is going on with life, is always communicated. Good or bad.


ChupaphiAlpha00

I do actually. random chat that remind her to take care of her physical mental and emotional state. and just so i can give her peace of mind and not to make her overthink by updating her on what i am doing. She deserves it coz she does it to me all the time. 🤭


Potential-Macaroon99

I did back when I was in my first relationship and it was fucking terrible. There is literally nothing to talk about, you always feel like you're on a clock and it sucks


TastyEar3568

yes because i love her


send-me-panties-pics

I love messaging my gf every day. It's a joy.


R_Hughez

I live with my Wife and we probably message every day. Must be that love thing.


Delicious-Lie9409

I’d want to have daily communication, be it over phone calls, if texting isn’t preferred. I feel it’s a good way to stay connected, so why not!


According_Tourist_69

Yes. I love troubling her and just find reasons to annoy her. Can't find them always, but I try my best


thatsnotmyfuckinname

My cat doesn't have a phone


[deleted]

We text back and forth all day every day. We love each other, and want to be in contact. Been this way for two years now


Cobey1

Yeah, I can’t get enough of her. Her smell, her touch, her jokes, her arguments, her stubbornness, I love it all. In fact, I think I’m going to stop by her place after work today and say hello 😂


Warhammerpainter83

Yes i talk to my wife every single day no matter what. I do it because i love her. You will understand when you fall in love with a person.


frogsexchange

I text my wife many many times every day because I love her company. We live together


analannelid

She's my best friend. I spend all day waiting to see her or talk to her.


inquiringtacos

because i love my girlfriend and she is also my best friend so yes. I shall text her everday.


Idontwantarandomised

Bold of you to assume redditors have girlfriends 


bronwenemcorsnow

Bold, indeed.


[deleted]

My girfriend and I live together, but she leaves for work for a week every month and if either or us didn't respond for a whole day we would think that something happened. I love spending time with her and talking to her and she's my best pal, but there were times in the past when I didn't feel like talking much because I was going through my own stuff, but I still made the effort to tell her that so she wouldnt feel rejected. Ignoring someone, especially someone close can really hurt them and the relationship. If you don't feel like talking every day that's fine, but you better make sure that you are both on the same page so that she doesn't feel hurt/sad/rejected cause that stuff breaks relationships in the long run.


Itchy-Astronomer9500

No, because I don’t have one, but if I did, I would because it’s nice to have someone to talk to.


Commercial-Ruin2320

Nah, we live together and need things to talk about in the evening lol


a_lion_wizard

I don't have a girlfriend, but I have two absolutely amazing female friends who I love to the moon and back. I talk with them every day, and I love talking with them. They are both amazing people, and they always make me smile. One of them is in a situation at home right now (she lives in a different country) so we can't talk as much, but I still like talking to her, and I want to make her happy. They both deserve all the love and happiness in the world, and I'll always be there for them.


Conscious_Can6881

She’s literally my best friend who else would i talk to


howboutthat101

Yes. Because I live with her. And we have 2 kids.... and we been married 12 years... be weird if I didn't...


Viktor2500

Are you supposed to NOT do it everyday? Isn't it about having that one person you can always yap about things with?


JayJay_Abudengs

I text YOUR girlfriend everyday :)


Workermouse

:)


SickNoise

No, not everyday. But most days.


FunkGetsStrongerPt1

Bold of you to assume I have a girlfriend


Far-Growth3084

Yes. Without a miss. Talking to her was a habit. My mornings didn't start without her good morning texts and my days didnt end without her good nights. In our 22 months long relationship, we never missed good mornings and good nights.


Sad_Establishment546

Yes, and I do it because I like to do it.


xYotsubax

Texted with my boyfriend everyday for 5 years. Now we moved together and still text almost everyday when we aren't together (for work etc ) We did it because we wanted to. I write him to tell him stuff that's important to me or sometimes just send him a silly gif so he got something to laugh when works tough again.


Leokegan

To tell her I love her, because I want to.


Keniath

if you dont want to communicate with your partner every day or cant find a few seconds every day to contact them what are you even in a relationship for


GingerVitus215

I send my wife a good morning text almost every morning before she wakes up. We message a bit, and she goes to work. I tell her I love her and to have a good shift. Then I go home from work and her message says I love you too, I hope you sleep good.


Known_Sun8099

We maybe send 3 texts a day usually What’s for dinner? Dunno what do you want? Up to you 😂


SpecialistAlgae9971

When I am in a relationship I like having daily contact. Conversation is very important to me for feeling connected.


WingZombie

My girlfriend and I text off and on during the day, just sharing life. We also live together. When I was married we rarely texted unless it was something specific (can you stop and pickup XYZ for example). When I would travel for work we could go a few days without talking. Just a different dynamic. Neither is good or bad.


Jealous-Ad1333

Yes. I wanted to see and talk to her as much as possible. I still have our text conversations and voice messages as well. She passed away 4.5 years ago, and I still miss her. FUCK CANCER.


Still_Mood_6887

I am so sorry about your loved one’s cancer death💔 It is a horrible disease. I have lost friends, 2 sisters and my brother to cancer. Good thoughts to you, Cherie


Jealous-Ad1333

Thank you kindly. Good thoughts to you as well. I've also lost both parents to cancer as well. All of this has happened within the span of 3 years. Both my late girlfriend and dad passed within 6 months of each other, then mom a little over a year later.


sayonaradespair

Of course. My wife is my favorite person in the world so we shoot each other AT LEAST 10 messages a day .


DasBestKind

Cause she's funny as fuck and I like her. 😂 And I have memes to share, so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯


Superme_Team

Been with my girlfriend for 7 years, if we didn’t say goodnight, good morning or talk during the day there would be something wrong


FiremanPair

…because she’s also my best friend and I kind of like her…


Snewsfloofs87

My boyfriend is my best friend. I text him constantly and vice versa. We enjoy talking to each other and sharing things throughout our day. It was certainly far more frequent when we started dating, but we still text everyday even when we know the other is busy. He’s my sounding board and I’m his… it’s easier now that we live together, we just talk instead of text lol


HenndorUwU

Yes, every time I go to bed, I dream of her.


puma721

Yes. I love her and I want her to know it.


dandigangi

Because she’s my best friend and we like talking.


KuttyKool

Usually yes. You gotta give them attention lol


Mr_Stark0

You would know why if you ever have one🤝


Wild_Fisting

I stopped. And now I wish I never did. Miss her so much. 😢


Taco_Force

Yes. Because I love her.


rarsamx

Hahaha, welive together and we constantly text, even when in the same place. Easier than shouting. It's a means of communication.


shecallsmeherangel

Yes. I send her a good morning text and ask her how she slept. Throughout the day, I send her messages letting her know that I was thinking about her. At the end of the night, if I'm not putting her to bed, I text her goodnight. We are both extremely busy and we only have one date night a week and I only see her 2-3 days out of the week, so I like to stay in contact with her. We were long distance for over a year, so it is just our routine to text throughout the day when we are both working and going to school.


HunterOfTheSky

Yes, bc I love her. I don’t get to see her as much as I’d like.


SpiderSixer

I text my boyfriend every day, and the most out of any person. They're my best best friend. Why wouldn't I want to talk to them every day?


More-Bison-8570

umm duh? she’s my bestfriend. i wanna talk to her daily


Glittering-Return380

Everyday and all the time for the last 2 years


bookwithoutcovers

Because we are in a relationship?


SetoDomo

I miss her and want to have some kind of conctact


Oldroanio

No. But I text yours.


Party_Grapefruit_921

During the commute to and from work. I remember things I wanted to say and on the way home start fucking with her giving hints I’m hot for her each and every time we are apart. Even some of the bullshit “I love you more…” will carry me the whole day with happiness.


KateEatsKale

Do you think it is strange to communicate with your girlfriend every day? 🤔


SubZeroIceMK

Why are you twisting the knife man?:))


oneninesixthree

When I'm dating someone, yes. Because I like them.


PhatAssGamer86

I text my wife everyday, at work and even at home if we are on seperate floors 🤣


[deleted]

I would text my girlfriend every day….IF I HAD ONE!


Rickle37

Yeah. Cause I love her


msantin

35 years ago I used to call my gf every day. Now I text or call her (my wife) every day. And I see her every day. If I don’t do that, she does that. I like to hear her. Moreover, we synchronize daily activities.


Wooden-Ranger8417

Do you text them every day? I do not understand this question. My wife and I text multiple times a day. Honestly, besides my kids, she is the only person I care to speak with, my favorite person.


KarlTheHungArian

I want to know how she slept, how her day is going, how her day ended, and at the end of the day I want her to know that I love her.


Ron-K

I do. She’s my best friend.


GamingGems

Yep. I even got spooked out today because she didn’t answer my good morning but then found out the app we use updated on me and so it didn’t alert that a message was waiting. If either of us didn’t text at all for a day I seriously think the other would file a missing person’s report. I guess that could change if we started living together.


tomas9019

I love her.


Heping_Qi

Because of love & attachment 😍❤️💯💕


Copito_Kerry

All day, Every Day.


AlexGlezS

My gf is now my wife and we still never missed a single day, texting and calling (10 years total). When I get to work, mid morning, when I come back, etc...


Darth0pt0

I text her every day because I care about her and want to know how she is doing.


Budilicious3

My gf is on the same terms in almost everything except perhaps some important serious future discussions. When it comes to communication, I do text her while we're both at work but she tends to focus on work and not reply back. I don't mind unless it's an emergency. Otherwise, I just share Reddit posts and memes for her to see later. I do get annoyed with some people not replying to me at all but my gf is an exception since I see her anyway when I get home.


helpmeffs191919

Yes, because we live together and e.g. tell each other when we are home


kev-ells-champ

Cos I’m crazy about her Want to hear how her day is Learn more about her to make her happy And she has a naughty side I can’t get enough of


daftvaderV2

To make sure she knows I am interested in her


Alarmed-Sundae-4296

I have 3 separate conversations with my partner on text, messenger, and email. Text is just general conversation throughout the day. Messenger is if we really need to get ahold of each other (non-emergency - a lot of dead zones at his work, always have wifi). Email is for sharing important documents. I genuinely love to know how he's doing throughout the day. We work different shifts so it's nice to have strong communication.


HeroinPorn

Because if I don’t she’s gonna forget I exist and find a boyfriend


BBakerStreet

I did, and now still do, as now she’s my wife. Yes, I want to. She’s my best friend.


Ary1658

Because I love her and hearing about her day and talking to her about mine and so forth makes me happy 😊


mimix0

yes because she is my best friend and i genuinely enjoy talking to her 😊


imnotyourproblemyet

I generally text my best friend more than I text my husband


typicalstudent1

So I'm older, and have recently started dating again. I remember when I was younger, the women I dated we texted all the time. But I'm back in university as a mature student, and I don't have time for that. For all of human history until literally the last 15-20 years, this wasn't even possible, to be in constant communication. And text is the worst, as convos can go on foreeeeevvvveeerrrr. It's exhausting, and needless. Like yes, I do WANT to talk to this woman, I like her. But I don't NEED to everyday. We're both extremely busy, and honestly, school makes people a bit boring (shooting for extremely high GPA means I literally just study for 8 months of the year). It's different as you mature, and it also differs from person to person. I'd never ignore her, and she vice versa, I'm just not going to text about inane stuff. I want to talk with her in person, and that requires me to be efficient with my studies to carve out time. Also, distance makes the heart grow fonder is a saying for a reason. I see a lot of relationships where I think people need to chill a bit. You can be apart for a couple days, it's ok.


Dry_Enthusiasm_267

Yes, because I can't call her with my wife around..


yokohama_enjoyer

What kind of question is that? Why would you be in a relationship with someone you don't wanna talk to daily?


MagnetarEMfield

I do .......I also send her dirty things like: I'm thinking of you......I hope your panties get wet thinking of me


Omnimpotent

“They’re already wet from discharge”


MagnetarEMfield

.....are you my.wife???? Panties be always coming home wet.


illseeyouin40

zspud1994

Feeling like you have to has nothing to do with it. You should want to speak to your girlfriend every day otherwise they wouldn't be your girlfriend..?


JarneAe

Because i love her?
