What is your communication threshold?

People can be very different, especially when it comes to how they communicate. When you are in a long distance relationship, it becomes important to understand how you and your partner communicate and what problems can arise as a result of the differences.

I think people fall into two categories – type A and type B. Type A (aka myself) people are generally happy with a certain level of time spent on communication. Beyond that, the level of happiness decreases. Talking becomes bothersome and intrusive beyond that. Type B people (my partner) are quite different, the more they talk and communicate, the happier they are.

There are of course consequences to being mismatched in your communication profiles. We’ll examine that in the near future.
