amount of contact in ldr?

[This_Too_Shall_Pass]

Wonderboy and I talk two or three times a day either by skype or by phone.

And text a few times.

 

And we are moving in together at the end of the month!

 

Cheers for you and Wonderboy! You guys remind me of LittleKitty and her Spidey.

Reassures the rest of us that we still have hope!

I was in an LDR for about a year and half with an 8/9 hour time difference (btw - we're living together now, so happy endings are possible!). What was more important than the frequency of contact was the consistency. I think if people go through phases of constant contact and then phases of no contact, it can drive you crazy. It helps to know when to expect that person will be in touch.

 

For us, it was either an email or an IM converstation once a day (late night for him, afternoon for me). We talked by Skype, but not everyday, maybe once or twice a week. That was enough for us to keep in touch, but still miss each other a little, in a nice way.

15 hours here. And we both have up to 2 hours commuting time for work. So it is immpossible for us to sit in front of the computer for hours. International phone rates are too high so we talk maybe once a week.

 

I get up very early to miss the heavy commute into work. Shop at 24 hour markets then we use yahoo messinging through our phones for about 30 minutes a day. Before work for me, bedtime for her. If I got up later then the time I am on the phone would have been stuck in traffic.

 

I try to email daily during regular hours and during her Sunday night and my very early Sunday morning we either get on the phone or computer with each oter.

For me it was evenings a daily emails.

We were in messenger IM a very long time. When we did go to phone we went straight over to microphone and messenger.

Nightly and to the point of falling asleep with the microphone attached.

We knew each other's schedule, and were ALWAYS there for each other.

Saturdays were most all day. But we were busy doing other things on the internet. He'd hear me typing on my keyboard and ask who I was writing to... I'd tell him.
