Reader Buzz: Communicating

October 30th, 2006 @ 4:17 pm by Reader Buzz

Mrs. Bee here.

For the first 10 months of our relationship, Mr. Bee and I were long distance so our main mode of communication was the phone. One time we even talked a record 10 hours straight. 8O

But since Mr. Bee and I moved in together, we hardly ever talk on the phone. We’re both online 24/7 so our main mode of communication is im. We’ve even been known to im each other when we’re in the same room. We’ll also send emails and text messages quite regularly, but we rarely talk on the phone. Since we met through my blog, I guess we’re just an internet obsessed couple. ;)

How do you and your fiance stay in touch day to day? Phone? IM? Text messages? Email?

We’re a texting couple. :-) We always have been, though. In the early stages we talked on the phone a lot (I hear you on that 10hrs!), but once texting became available, that was our main mode of communication. We do emails and IMs a lot, too, but we don’t talk on the phone very much anymore.

We’ve never used the phones for anything other than speaking, and NEVER imd each other. We speak all the time, though. He’s just too busy teaching during the day to im me. I understand. :)

Phone. We started as a phone couple, and continue to do that. We live just over an hour from each other, so weekends are the time we see the most of each other…but he works for part of the weekend. We call each other throughout the day….it will be so much nicer to not live by the phone ;)

Phone…we live 45 min away right now, so phone is our main method of communicating.

we used to be a text/im couple, but somewhere along the way we ended up calling more often and every now and then we would send a text

We live together, but we call each other about two or three times a day to check in and see how each other’s days are going.

phone… he’s from korea and im from LA, but since we speak mostly in korean, phone is best. we call each other multiple times a day, but the convos are only about 30 seconds to a minute long.

We’re an IMing couple most of the time. Now that we both have desk jobs, we use google chat all the time. It’s easiest and least intrusive. We probably talk on the phone about half as often. And you’re not the only one who’s been known to IM each other when your both in the same room. : ) hehe!!

We’re together almost constantly :-P so it’s usually face-to-face. Actually, neither of us use IM all that frequently right now, but when we were long-distance we’d talk online CONSTANTLY…7 or 8 hour sessions were not unheard of. This was in addition to the nightly calls and weekly cross-state trips to see each other–so it wasn’t all that ‘long distance’ really, lol.

But lately when we’re apart, it’s always cell phone. But just “hey do you need me to pick up some wine for dinner?” type of stuff…not actual conversations.

When my b/f & I first started going out, we talked for 9 hours straight a couple of times…

Right now, we see each other nearly everyday, and if not, the phone is our method of communication. We’ll IM each other sometimes, but not that often, as he always forgets to sign on when he’s online.

We’re mostly an IM couple. He lives in Canada, I live in TX.. yes it sucks - especially because we’re both poor college kids! We see each other every 1-2 months.. Thank god we’re getting married in a year and a bit. :D
Occasionally we talk on the phone, because it helps us get along.. Oh, and we play computer games together… that really helps.

We’re phone people. We talk on the phone twice or three times a day, then talk face to face when we get home.
