Is texting a big part of your relationship dynamic?

I used to be like Kel when I was in LDR. Texting was also my primary way to contact him (let's call him Patrick) or rather - my primary way of contacting him. I didn't enjoy phone calls, I absolutely hated Facetime calls (I still do) because it made me uncomfortable to the point of not enjoying the conversation anymore. I am not sure where it came from, but I was satisfied with texting. The compromise we got at the end was voice messages. You can listen to them and record them whenever without the pressure to respond immediately.

However, Patrick and I broke up. My current relationship was LDR again, for a while, but I always gladly called Dragonfly whenever we could, and I missed the sound of his voice when we were both too busy to talk. So yeah, I might have been uncomfortable, but with the right person it's no problem to me anymore.

I hope you will work it out.

Thank you, Bee. I guess texting feels kind of cold to me, and it’s easier to have misunderstandings with texts, I feel. I know he is uncomfortable talking on the phone, because people find his thick Southern accent hard to understand. But I’m used to it now (as long as he doesn’t mumble lol). I’m trying to be more patient about it and not spin things around in my head. He says I over-think things and he’s probably right.
