[QUOTE="CV355, post: 15875689, member: 181885"] If you enjoy dating her and are serious about the relationship, why end it over a fad? Yes, texting is a fad. Until around 2008 where it exploded, you'd either wait to get home or call someone during a lunch break. You have to weigh it out. If this is the most major negative aspect, it's easy to fix. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Just discuss it with her, recognizing that she's reaching out to you because she is either lonely or needs validation/recognition for what she is doing. My wife used to do the same thing, and she'd feel terrible if I didn't text back. As cliche as this sounds, look at it from her perspective. Why is she texting so much? Then, ask why about the answer. Once you recognize and address that, you can work together to try to scale back. I feel like the blunt approach may not work out very well. A few years ago, I worked with a guy whose wife would call him 5-6 times every day at work. It drove him nuts to the point where he hated spending actual time with her. One thing lead to another and they separated over it because he never addressed it with her. Some level of periodic separation in a relationship is healthy- if both parties don't get some level of "alone time" or a change of scenery from one another, it leads to stagnation. You find that there's more appreciation for seeing each other at the end of the day when you haven't spoken since you left the house. My wife and I work at the same facility and we've figured out a balance that works but it takes time and communication to achieve that. Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
