Pointless phone conversations with your SO

she wants to talk to you every day so she knows your all hers.

marking her territory. that daily phone call is the relationship equivalent of her pissing on a fire hydrant.

You need to stop being a bitch and lay the law down. Say you are busy and can't talk for 20 minutes everyday. She'll probably find you more attractive this way too. Women like attention, but they like it more when they have to work for it.

i have the same problem. when she calls she tends to do most of the talking and get's mad when i dont have anything to say. i think my girlfriend may be starting to understand that i just don't have enough to say since she knows whats going on with me.

i also try to push that people who need to talk a lot do so cause they are not comfortable with eachother. mostly bs, but it works somewhat and is somewhat true.

Try text messaging her during the day during down time. It will let her know you are thinking of her and hopefully she won't need to talk as much at night.

OP, women bond through conversation, men tend to converse as a way of sharing info. So for her the convo can be pointless from a information point of view, but very valuable fron an emotional one (because she's bonding with you). If you stop or reject the calls, she'll read it as you not wanting to bond, i.e. somethings wrong with the relationship. For most men these types of conversations are maddening and very difficult to put up with, since we're not bonding and are waiting for a point that is never coming. Your best play is to probably tell her that you know the convos are important to her emotionally, but ask if they can be shorter, like 10 minutes or less. Makke up some kind of excuse why they can't be longer. Good Luck. (you'll need it)

I live in the same city as my gf, and we see each other 2-3 times a week. This is overly sufficient for me to discuss with her what is going on in our lives and between us

Probably shouldn't be your gf then.

if shes into computers at all try getting her into IM'ing you for these daily conversations.

Or you cave in and let her talk and talk and talk while your conversations slowly grow longer and longer until one day you realize you've been on the phone for 74 mintues and she isn't even got to the part of her story yet where she's out the door on her way to work yet and the only noise you've made so far is mmmhmm, mmmhmm, mmmhmm.
