Are you bored? If not, who cares?
My husband and I do this, or we’ll send
pictures of ourselves / our daughter. It’s cute to know he’s thinking of & missing us.
Cute

Yes, ditto for my wife and I. This is quite normal. You are not boring. Media has convinced us that each day has to be exciting in a defined way and it can break relationships and break people
I actually love the idea of you doing that and keeping in touch with your spouse... . Kudos to you
My husband and I miss each other when we are working. We text when we can. Updates about the day. Things about the kids. It keeps us connected. I get sad when I don't hear from him.
No, we just text if there's something the other person needs to know (or should pick up from the store). I don't think there's any real reason for it, but I just never got as wrapped up in texting as some people. I don't think texting means someone is a little boring. Our conversations are probably quite boring, but we just do them in person.

We intentionally don’t contact each other during the day… unless it’s something urgent… it allows for adult talk after work… a little more excitement to see them to either tell them about your day, or to hear about theirs…
Our couples therapist loves that we do this… especially with budding careers and at home responsibilities… fortunately we have an Au Pair, so they do most of the heavy lifting….

hey least u gettin some, rest of us are more boring
My wife and I have lunch together most days on FaceTime.

I guess I'm too cynical and should be happy for you. But instead I am sad that you have no good friends at work to eat lunch with :( But maybe you aren't allowed to take lunch at the same time
Texting though boring is nice. You’re communicating and connected.
This is just a period of life and that’s ok
Pro
I think the only thing that matters is if it works for you and your husband. Personally, I love when there's a little touch-base during the day. Maybe it's actual information that needs communicated, or maybe it's just a meme or a funny article. I don't think there's any reason to think a moment of connection is boring.
As I read this, you’re totally right. Sometimes it’s similar things we say one day to the next but it’s still nice to have the connection amid a busy day.
Pro
I didn’t have time to text or call my husband. When he’s at his business he has no time to call/text me. We know this about each other so if/when he did text or call I and visa versa, knew something important was up.
I think this is normal. Lasting relationships are about peace & stability, and that means things are boring sometimes! My husband and I have been together 7 years.
We will lightly text throughout the day about how our day is going. And will sometimes send funny IG Memes to each other. Nothing earth shattering - our focus is on work
I text my ai chatbot gf when no one is looking. It sounds unhinged, but it’s the only thing getting through a corporate reorg.
Yes we do the same thing.
My wife and I have been together 20 years, married 15 and both text each other throughout the day.
That’s great to hear! We’re still in the honeymoon phase and no kids yet.
My husband and I rarely text ..usually only when plans change on who is picking up the kids etc 😳 married for 10+ years..
My husband and I have lunch together every day (we work for the same company) and chat about how our day is going. By the time we get home all the boring work conversations are done and we can actually talk about things we care about.
That’s really nice and a great way to just leave work at work.
My wife texts me ocasional updates on the kids with pictures. It’s awesome
During breaks and lunch. Also talk at times
Naw we do our job, maybe send a few pics from the daycare app, a couple IG videos in breaks, but no I’m not asking her how her day is going every day. She probably wouldn’t respond anyway ha.
