Dear Ashmitha,
I think the most important question is not about the amount of communication but the quality and truthiness of it.
I had relationships with many texts and calls but they were shallow ones; talking only for everyday stuff or gossipping – this didn’t help in building a healthy relationship and an in-depth communication. I had boyfriends who used to communicate at periods all the time (bombarding me with texts and calls) but from jealousy or insecurity. They needed to have the control. This was not building a healthy relationship either.
I have a relationship now with less calls and texts but during those, I am really open as he is and we discuss for our feelings or fears very openly and this builds gradually a solid foundation for the relationship.
I believe the “correct” amount of communication is the one that makes you feel connected to the other..
