Is it normal that we sit in silence?

So, all the time I will call my boyfriend, or he will call me and we will sit in silence for minutes on end. We are both doing other things, but it still seems pretty weird. We're not mad at each other or anything. We'll just be having a conversation and then stop (not say bye) and just sit there. I used to do this with my ex boyfriend as well, but we fought A LOT so that was usually why. Actually, as I type this, my current boyfriend is on the phone and we haven't spoken for 10 minutes. IS IT NORMAL?

    It's normal for some couples, so I voted normal. I have no problem with sitting in silence on the phone. My boyfriend isn't a phone person so we don't do it. But I've sat in silence on the phone with friends. I even used to call my friend up back in high school and we'd chat for a bit, then get quiet and do our homework. If we wanted to joke or laugh about something, or ask a homework question, the other person was right there on speakerphone, ready. :-) I mean, when you hang out with someone in person, you're not talking 100% of the time, right?

    yeah, in person, a silent moment is nothing but on the phone, it's usually awkward.

    Is not normal, please quit that relationship. You don't need to waste your time plus get neck pain by staying on the phone with no reason.

    not really. i do it, but for a shorter period of time, because i simply know hes on the other line. i hear him just breathe for a minute and really its all i need.but just for like a minute, you should appreciate every moment because it culd be your last.

    No! It is not normal. You need to think about how to avoid such situations.

    I've done that a lot with my now-husband and it still happens with him on Skype sometimes. I'm always signed onto skype but we just do our own thing online but keep Skype vid up.
