Is it normal to only text in a long-distance relationship?
Depends.It depends
Yes, some long-distance couples mostly or only text, especially if that works for both people. What matters is whether you both feel connected and are comfortable with the arrangement.
Some people just prefer texting, have busy schedules, or find calls awkward. There’s no relationship rule that says you have to video chat to make it count.
That said, text can feel thin if you’re hoping for more closeness or reassurance. If you’re not happy with it, say so and suggest a call now and then; their response will tell you more than the texting habit itself. The key is that the setup works for both of you, not just one person.
