    Hey guys,
    Im 19 and in first year of college and have been going out with my gf for the past year. she is in school doing her leaving cert. all is perfect, we get on like a house on fire when we'r together and genuinely love spending time together. if i could spemd all my time with her i would.
    there's just one problem, we'v gotten far too used to texting all day every day, even whilst in college/school, from 9am right through to when we go to bed at night. its not that i dont want to talk to her, thats not the issue at all. its just that it can be a bit much trying to text all the time during the day whilst with my friends and in college. my friends often make fun of me for constantly texting. and it'd be one thing if we actually had something to talk about during the day but we dont, its always just silly stuff like "what ya doin now?" or "so any news?". surely you can understand why replying to small messages like that can be a bit of a burden throughout the day? i even have to constantly text her when im out at night..
    she often gives out that i am distracted then during the day.
    I have tried to say it to her a few times but we only ended up having fights over it because she thinks i dont like talking to her!
    has any one got any ideas how i could bring this up without her going mad at me again??
    thanks.

    If she gets mad, it's her fault. You aren't a text machine, you're a person. I honestly think that her getting mad is a good thing. I think she is trampling on your feelings. Be honest with her and let her get mad. I don't think there is a way of avoiding the issue, and you might want to question the fact that you allow her to bully you.

    Feel free to ignore what I'm saying if it isn't what you want to hear.

    If she gets mad, she gets mad. Its not good to be texting each other 24/7! maybe send her a text in the morning or sometime through the day and text for a while and then dont text till whenever you feel like it.

    and if she doesnt like it, so what! i'm sorry to say that. but you both need space. If you are constantly texting, then you are not giving each other space. You need to do that so when you do text, the both of you will have something to talk about, not just stupid and silly things.

    I know that it can get on the other persons nerves when they text all the time. so seriousersly, just give yourselves some space.

    Take time out for yourself and do what you like to do. hang out with your mates in college and stuff llike that...

    and text her when you feel like it.

    take my advice. dont keep texting all the time! :pac::pac:

    It is incredibly rude to your friends and people you are with, as well as distracting from your education and hobbies, all which will most likely (because of your age) be around far longer than your girlfriend and her insecurities.
