25M (me) 22F - Do you think texting every day is essential?

Hello everyone, My partner and I have been together for about 8 months now, seeing each other 2-3 times a week. I love her, but there are some days when we don't message at all. I'm curious about how other couples handle this. Do you communicate regularly throughout the day? Does it make you uneasy if you don’t talk to your partner for a whole day? I’ve brought this up with her before, asking how often she prefers to message, and she said she’s fine with daily communication but also comfortable with not messaging every day. I don’t want to come across as clingy by insisting we need to talk every day. She usually reaches out first if we haven’t spoken in a day or two, checking in on me. Is anyone else here in a similar situation? How do you feel about not speaking every day? Is daily communication essential for you?

It sounds like you two have a healthy understanding of each other's communication styles! It's great that she reaches out when she feels the need. Daily texting can be comforting, but it's not essential for every couple. Focus on quality over quantity. If you're both happy with the current rhythm, there's no need to change it! Just keep the lines of communication open and share your feelings—it's all about finding what works best for both of you.
