An untrained observer might conclude that your special someone might not be that attached to you if sends you a brief, “What’s up?,” following a stream of text messages from your side –but hold on.
A recent study at Brigham Young University found that the less men texted, the higher their levels of romantic satisfaction.
One possible reason, the research study concluded in the Journal of Couple & Relationship Therapy, was that when men are happy with their relationship, they tend to talk with their partners more (and thus need fewer reasons to text), whereas when they’re unhappy, they text more in order to avoid face-to-face interactions. Women, however, feel more connected the more they text.
The findings were published in a study titled ‘Using Technology to Connect in Romantic Relationships: Effects on Attachment, Relationship Satisfaction, and Stability in Emerging Adults’.
