are video calls healthy? repost

Question

I’ve been video calling my boyfriend for like 4-5 hours every day since lockdown started.
He asked me if we can just call every other day because he’s been busy with work and school. Of course I’m fine with that but now, idk how to transition into doing that. Can anyone help me out and give me some tips? lol
Also, what’s your opinion on video calling every day? Do you think it’s healthy?

Answer

I think calling every day is fine as long as both people are okay with it. But the fact you need tips on how to transition to calling him every other day instead of every day seems unhealthy

Answer

It depends on both the people and your priorities, and situation aka if u guys don’t see each other often, I think it crosses a healthy boundary when people sleep with each other on FaceTime every night🤷‍♀️ and all day, in the bathroom etc, like you need your own private time

Answer

I don't think there is necessarily an issue of doing it daily as long as you don't need to do it and can change if need be or if the other asks. To me 4-5 hours a day is a ton and I personally wouldn't be able to do that much video chatting but that is just me. If it had been working until now that's great and is only unhealthy if you are dependent on those 4-5 hrs and can't adjust. Sounds like he has a reason so better than he is just tired of talking. Just follow his lead for what he needs and see how you feel. Be honest with him obviously but just try to recognize yourself if you are being clingy or have become dependent.
