My girlfriend thinks I should text her goodnight every night?

Everyone in here:

"Lol what's the big deal"

"Get over it"

"It takes 2 seconds"

So I'll refrain from that garbage.

For the last 6 years of my life I have been working in industries that require manual labor. By the time I get home, feed my kids, and put them to bed my phone isn't even on my mind. It's usually sitting on a charger next to my bed or in the living room.

I understand that when you have a full plate of responsibility sometimes the last thing on your mind is your phone. Even if you're in a relationship (unless you're living together) it's just not always your last thought, so I see where you come from.

That being said, on the other side of the coin, I can see how a text isn't that hard to send. What I recommend is just shooting her a text when the thought is in your head.

Let's say it's 915pm and you're about to shower. Just shoot her a text "hey I'm gonna shower if I don't reply back I'm probably asleep, have a good night."

That's about the least you can do and it's easier in that moment than trying to remember when you're dead tired.

Ignore all these short sighted morons who are commenting "lol just do it bro it's easy" cause that's not remotely constructive commentary.
