I understand that constant communication is a new thing, because I have lived without cell phones or bare bones internet. Newer generations only know and have lived with computer and cell phones. So that’s what they’re used to.

I think you’re misunderstanding me in some ways. He gives me lots of attention when we are together. But we are long distance of several hours so we can’t see each other in person like “normal” couples who live closer and can simply drive over to see their partner. I never admitted to anything as far as how he communicates. I said a little more consistent back and forth communicating on text would make me feel a little better, since that’s what I’m used to. From the beginning we kept communication not consistent, so maybe we have just fallen into that pattern. But now that we are in a relationship, a little more would be helpful. He doesn’t seem to be a big texter but like I said in some other comments, he replies to who friends sometimes even with me around. Can’t he do the same with me? Instead leave me on read for part of the day? I don’t think it’s too much to at least ask him and find out more of his communication expectations. He’s extremely attentive in person, but in text not as much. Some days he texts less, some days he texts a bit more. Lately for 3 weeks or so he hasn’t been workforce and he’s had all the time in the world in some ways beside some side projects or helping his friends with things.
