Texting and instant messaging are completely normal in my relationship. When we aren't home together, I message things I've forgotten and things that need to be done. I even send dinner plans by text message. It's just so normal to me.

"Pick up dinner on your way home?"

"I forgot to turn off my hair straightener. Can you?"

And well, you get the drift.

Sadly, even arguing can be achieved via text. So can making up. Heck, you can even do the dirty text message tango. The only hazard with that is the possibility of accidentally sending your naughty thoughts to the wrong person. (Imagine accidentally sending a dirty message to your boss or your mom. Eek!)

Hazards aside, when you think about it, there really aren't many things in a relationship that can't be discussed via text or IM. Although there are probably some things that shouldn't, like major relationship problems or important decisions. Also, proposals -- those definitely shouldn't be done via text messaging. Break-ups, too. Imagine a text break-up ... How lame!

In this day and age, using texting, e-mail or instant messaging as communication tools is sometimes the most convenient way of contacting your partner. Most of us are all somewhat guilty. But I personally go a little overboard with it. I think I might need to start picking up the phone to talk more often.

What about you? Are you using texting, IM or e-mail as relationship tools? Is it the most convenient for you, or do you try to keep them out?
