Taboo relationship practice: Ignoring each other throughout the day
Do people think it’s strange that you don’t text your partner in the middle of the day to check in? Does your family think it’s odd that you go on business trips and don’t call your partner while you’re gone?
If having little to no contact with your significant other while you’re apart is working for your relationship, don’t let anyone make you feel rotten about it. The concept of frequently texting another person throughout each day can be romantic.
But, constant access to your spouse can have downsides in reality. You don’t always need instant access to each other. If you’re busy with a hobby or work, you don’t need to continually text your partner.
It can be more meaningful to enjoy something in the present moment and tell your companion about it later when you’re face to face.
