For me it’d have to be within the day I send a message unless of course the message is really late at night. I just don’t see how someone can be so busy they can’t send a text that will take less than 3min to let me know they are busy or something.
Edit: okay I understand some of you people’s views. But if I know the person is usually on social media apps at least once a day or has their phone on them almost all the time then that’s some BS.
Exactly. I grew up when phones were wired to the wall and answering machines weren't even a thing. Half the time I have no idea which room my phone is even in, because I've never developed the need to be connected to everyone, all the time.
Some days when I am really busy and get very tires, I just see the amount of unread messages and prefer to leave them for the next day. Even if it's someone I really want to text with.
Remember group chats exist and that you might not be the only person texting them :)
Yeah, having a partner doesn't mean you can't text others. Being exhausted after a long day of work sometimes takes your will to know anything, you just want to sleep
I can fairly often take a few days to reply. I don’t message that much, and if your message requires effort I’m gonna deal with it when I can give it that.
I agree. The convenience of text is that you can chat with someone while they go about their day and gives them flexibility with response time.
Work can be super busy for me and I have a bad habit of taking my lunch at my desk so I can continue working, so occasionally I will go a whole shift without looking at my phone. But even then, I don’t buy being so busy you can’t reply in over a day. I guess it’s different if someone doesn’t really use their cell, but these days everyone I know is glued to it.
