How often do you talk to your other half?

Question....if you're in a relationship...how often are you in contact with them, whether that's by phone, email or text? Be interesting to know what 'normal' is for people? Would you like more contact? Less contact? Or have you got it just about right?

It seems logical that once you are in a committed relationship you can relax and be yourself, and contact each other equally. It seems to me that it is just in the crucial dating stages that you have to be a bit careful not to come across as needy or desparate and it doesn't seem to take much to give that impression

It varies. My situation is pretty much like Gretel's, i.e. we live together and we'll contact each other during the workday occasionally just to say 'hi' or share a joke, or if something comes up we need to discuss, but it's not a 'necessity' to contact each other all the time (if that makes sense).
Does it count if you are living with them? Throughout the day, when we are at work, maybe once or twice a week we'll contact each other. Usually its for something - ie: not just to say 'hi'.
My bf will ring me near the end of the day to say if he's going to be late back from work or if he's going out for a drink after work but other than that we aren't in contact and never email which is probably just as well because I need to give him some space to miss me!
