As for the relationship thing, I can relate. My boyfriend and I started dating back in... August, and that was when I hadn't started school yet. Needless to say we were on the phone constantly, and talking however we could whether it was online or through texts. Now that I've started school and he's moved to Texas (for a good paying job), we don't have nearly as much time to talk during the week. Plus our schedules clash because of times. He works overnight hours, so he's sleeping when I'm home from school/work. I realize that we're not going to be able to spend every waking hour talking, and I just cherish the times we do even more because of that. I think relationships need a small lull every once in a while; wouldn't wanna get sick of the person.
When my boyfriend and I started dating we spent hours on aim and on the phone. Then winter quarter started we still spent a long time talking. Now that has kind of dwindled because I was starting to lose a lot of sleep lol. There is definitely a balance.

I noticed your Writers Bloc stint; glad there's someone still wanting to post there.
You know, some of the best relationships can pick up after a long period of nothingness where there has been little to no contact. My Oma went to visit her family and friends in the Netherlands and saw people she had not seen in years, and barely talked to otherwise, and had the time of her life doing so... yet that is friends and family, not the significant other you were talking about. With significant others, I think it would be best to both spend time with them, but also have have space. Smothering and distancing are two extremes to kind of stay away from.
...and this is from the girl who doesn't date. =3=
