The discussion centers around the frustration of long phone conversations in romantic relationships, particularly when one partner feels overwhelmed by the frequency and duration of calls. Many participants express a strong dislike for talking on the phone, viewing it as a waste of time that detracts from other responsibilities. There is a consensus that while maintaining communication is important, especially in the early stages of a relationship, a balance must be struck to respect each partner's time and preferences. Suggestions include negotiating time limits for calls and finding alternative ways to connect, such as in-person meetings or instant messaging. The conversation also touches on the emotional needs of both partners, with some arguing that if one partner enjoys phone conversations, the other should accommodate that to some extent. However, there is a clear warning against manipulation and unreasonable demands, emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries to maintain a healthy relationship. Overall, the thread highlights the challenges of communication styles in relationships and the need for compromise.

I know I am not the only one that absolutely despises having to talk to the girlfriend over the phone. She insists on wanting to spend over an hour or more on the phone almost everyday.

Don't worry too much. In my experience this only happens during the first part of the relationship, after the break-up you're much less likely to talk to her so much. Just stick it out, man, you're almost there; eventually you'll have all the free time you want and no one will care enough about you to tell you anything about their lives.

I don't own a phone, but I'm pretty sure my girlfriend is the only person I wouldn't mind talking to on the phone.

My girlfriend and I see each other so much (at least 3 hours a day) that when she says she's upset that I haven't texted or called her in ages to say I love her or just talk, I can't help but think of it as a "wtf" moment.
