Is it normal to only text in a relationship?

Depends.It depends

Yes, some couples mostly or only text, especially if that works for both of you. It can become a problem if one of you wants more direct connection and the other avoids it.

Some people genuinely prefer texting: it’s convenient, gives you time to think, and can work well when you’re busy or apart. If you both feel close and satisfied, there’s no rule saying a relationship needs phone calls or long in-person chats to count.

But if you’re only texting because one person won’t make time to meet, call, or have a real conversation, it’s fair to wonder whether you want different things. Tell them what kind of contact helps you feel connected and see how they respond.
