I was wondering how often does your man write you? He writes every other week, is that normal? or am I the only one out there. I try not to get mad at him but it's hard. It wouldn't bother me so much if they were longer then 1 to 2 pages. I send out like 2 to 3 letters a week at least 10 pages long.. Should I stop writing him to show him how it feels or is that just to mean?

Mind does write often. He has the mentality of letter for a letter (kind of like an eye for an eye.) Ugh! That was a bad analogy. Anyway, if he gets 3 letters from me in one day, he will write me 3 separate letters, instead of one long one.

You might try telling him that you need more communication. Some men don't write very often because prison life is so repetitive and they feel like there really is nothing to write about. Also, he could be depressed. I know some ladies do stop writing in order to prove a point.

hi i know how you feel .. my man writes me once a week if im lucky .. but normaly every other week i get a letter.but i see him every week so he dont have much to say in his letters.dont stop writing him though it dont work lol .. .. just be glad we get letters hehe.. ..

That has got to be tough, I guess maybe I am spoiled because my guy writes everyday! I get letters at least every other day if not everyday! I try to write every night but I usually only send him 2 or 3 letters a week. He understands that with working and our son that I don't have as much time to sit and write that he does, we also talk on the phone every night! I'd be lost if he only wrote once a week or less, it would be tough for me to keep the relationship alive if we didn't communicate often, and he knows that too!

My baby writes me atleast twice a week - sometimes they get out late so one week it might be only one letter but the next week there are 3. Depending on what's up he might write more. I spoil him - I get a letter out everyday but Sunday - I send a really long one on Tuesday because he would get it Friday - to get him through the weekend.

Not Nearly As Often As He Should!

Michaelsgirl, I get a letter once a week.. It takes 3 days to get here.. He is in Ohio and me in Oregon.. Usually his letters are 2 pages long front and back and I think that's plenty.. I send him around the same length of letters and if there is something major going on, I'll write again .. We usually don't send letters out of order.. lol we had a system, he waits for mine and I wait for him, but lately I have been getting carried away and writing more often.. Now I need to send him envelopes because he is running out.. I asked him about writing me more often, but it does have alot to do with the paper and envelopes, so now I'm sending him some, because I want more letters.. lol
don't get discouraged, sometimes it may take awhile for Mel to write me back because he is down in the dumps and same as for me.. Maybe your guy is just not big on writing.. that could be.. some guys hate to write, even in prison, I know my brother hates to.. so I write him on special occasions.. lol

~TeRe~

Tommy and I write to each other every day. He just only mails them 2 or 3 times a week due to the fact that he never knows when he will be able to make commissary. (sometimes it's only once a month) I usually mail 1 or 2 letters a day and I try to send at least 1 card a week. Although his birthday is tuesday so I have sent like 10 or 12 cards this week.

Chele

my baby usually gets me 3-4 letters a week but if i do not write he does not write but it is usually a couple every week

I guess I am spoiled too. My guy writed every day. Sometimes 15 pages front and back of the small legal paper. It takes so much time to read them I hardly find time to write back. Bruce doesn't watch much tv, I guess he'd rather just write and dream about life when he gets home. Maybe you could send him letters he can respond to..you know leave hime room to write about what you wrote about then he could just send your letters back with his comments...some guys just can't initiate the letter. ya know, try to make it easier for him.

Jeff varies. Sometimes he can write as many as 3-4 times a week! But then other times it seems like he disappears. I haven't heard from him since december 20th. :(

I get 2-3 letters a week, generally every other day. I send him a letter every day plus cards, magazines, books. We talk on the phone daily, one or two times. Communicating is our number one priority but you have to understand I do not have children at home and can also write from work, etc. There are many reasons why some do not get as much mail. I say you need to make him aware that you would like more mail and ask if there is a particular reason why he does not write as often as you would like him to. His answer may be very plausible and even if it does not result in more frequent letters you may feel better about it. Can't hurt to ask, right?

I was wondering how often does your man write you? He writes every other week, is that normal? or am I the only one out there. I try not to get mad at him but it's hard. It wouldn't bother me so much if they were longer then 1 to 2 pages. I send out like 2 to 3 letters a week at least 10 pages long.. Should I stop writing him to show him how it feels or is that just to mean?no don't stop i write 8-10 pages everyday, i get back 1-2 pages every day. every once in a while i get more. today on my first visit i was surprised at the end he gve me a 4 page. all of his letters say the same thing just about i guess he doesn't know what to say. he also alls 3 times a day so we do alot of communicating. maybe yours is like mine and doesnt know what to say. but at least he tries. he needs to noe your there but tell him how you feel that your putting out and not getting much in return and mabe he will try harder. good luck. i know the feeling of waiting for a ice long letter and it be more like a note. but it will get better

Matthew writes atleast once a week..if i'm lucky i get 2 a week! But if he misses commisary and doesnt have any envelopes then i'm screwed for that week but i keep up with the money so he's always got envelopes. It might be a lil while till i get another letter from him right now though cuz they transferred him to another jail. I write him everyday but send letters out atleasy 3-6 times a week..and they have to be atleast 6 pages long or it's just not an 'Angel letter'...so i write alot..and i don't think it would be 'mean' so to say if you quit writing soo much..but i'm the writer and he's the talker..maybe your boo is like that too..

~*Angel*~

Geez...I guess I was lucky. When Wayne was in prison, he wrote every day (almost). It was very, very rare for my mailbox to be empty. Now that he's home, I only get bills in the mail! :(

I'm gonna make Brian write me a letter at least once a week when he's out. If he doesn't like it... tough!!! If we were to get married I'm putting it in the pre-nuptial agreement!!! ;)

he used to write more before..usually a letter for a letter..it would be like a letter or 2 a week..now if im lucky..i get one every two weeks..or a letter once a month..he just says there's not much to write about..it's ok i let it go..i'll just make him pay when he comes home lol..plenty of laundry to do =)

MY sweetie said he was going to try and atleast write once a week, hopefully more. Well its been 2 weeks now. But I understand he was transferred last Tuesday, so really his letters are few and far between. Its hard knowing I write anywhere from 10-20 or more letters. I poor my heart and soul into each one. Well his letters are quite full of that content. He is withdrawling, andis still adjusting. He is not quite sure if I will remain by his side for the entire time he is in, and doesn't know how this will affect us, or him for that matter......so being patient is the hardest thing. He says he loves me, Which should be enough....but I want more!!!!! I want the mushy love letters..and all that good stuff....but I know right now it just isn't in him.. I think he is more scared if anything..Scare of losing me and Scared of what this exprerience will be like

stop worrying so much, at least yours writes at all, i still don't even know where mine is, or why they picked him up, altho there were rumors of a gun in his vehicle......be glad, and know he probably is thinking of you, every minute of every day, but he's probably trying to find things to do to keep his mind off being away from you............smile

I get 3 or 4 letters a week from my sweetie...7 to 10 pages long. He doesn't want me to go "Tonyless."

Thanks to you all for your input... I have talked to him about writing me more and he says he will but I'm still waiting for that day. as for giving him things to talk about, Oh I do... We had this thing going where we asked each other 20 questions in each letter and well i'm still waiting for my 20 questions to be asked.... :) I am very happy that I do get what i get, cause his letters always cheer me up. I guess i'm just so use to talking and seeing him daily that it's hard to adjust.
I'm just glad i'm not the only one out there with the same problem it's makes me feel alittle better... :)

he only writes like 1 time a week now, for a while there it was way more but now that we talk on the phone it died down alot.

Really, it varies. Sometimes I'll get 3 or 4 then I won't hear from him for a couple of weeks. I have getting to go see him every couple of weeks which is wonderful.

Actually, I should consider myself lucky because he says he hasn't written this much since he was in high school and I am the only girl he has actually written, ever.

He doesn't trust writing either. He has to see my face and hear the tone of my voice to trust and believe what I say.

But mail is everything to them in there. He feels bad for the guys that don't get mail. I write and send cards and magazines and the local paper, and he wanted a calendar. He only gets his mail three times a week, and his mail only goes out three times a week, so I just have a happy face when I get a letter. I don't sweat it because I know HE's not going anywhere anytime soon. He worries more about the men hitting on me out here.

hey,, i usually get one a week, sometimes 2. he has said he'd like to hear from me everyday, but i don't think the favor would be returned, as i have sent a letter a day for 4 days in a row several times to get 1 letter saying...'i got all your letters!' a suggestion for you is maybe instead of sending a 10 page letter every time, maybe break down the 10 to 2-3 pages everyday. i dunno, maybe he would like receiving them everyday, and would write more. maybe not. i know i hold myself back from writing a really long letter so i can send more, but i think the only way i would get more letters from him to talk to him about it! like i am here!!

my fiancee writes everyday. I get mail everyday except on Mondays. It usually only takes our letters overnight to get to one another. He only calls once or twice a month but I see him every weekend. We always find something to write or talk about.

I'm another one of the spoiled ones. I get letters 4-5 times a week.

Some of ya'll might want to do what I so, send self-addressed, stamped envelopes to the guys. Lazy spoiled things LOL I make it so easy for him to answer he has no excuses. I also try to bring up topics he can respond to. That way there's something for him to write about. Sometimes the letters slack off when he goes through a stage. I think when it becomes too hard on them missing us they focus on other things and don't write as much. But on average I get 3-4 letters a week. He just went in confinement a week ago and Phil in Paris swears I'll get a ton of mail I hope so!

This should make y'all count your blessings: I have gotten like 4 letters in 18 months. Most of that time he was in county so we talked for like an hour every day. Now, we still have pretty frequent visits; I write 2-3 times a week, but somehopw it just doesn't bother me. But I did tell him last time that my online pals bragged on all the sweet mush they got in the mail and he said, yeah weel, I was thinking of trying writing some mush...it's in my heart...I said Oh hon just be who you are, but I'd sure love it! pray for me folks he may yet be trainable:)

Well, you are all lucky for the letters you get. My man writes about once or twice a month and I don't get them. The prison he's in, is holding them for some reason. They tell him they've mailed them out, but they are lying b/c I haven't gotten them. It really ticks me off. I guess we're not the only couple they are doing that to right now in there. I guess the FEDS were just in there not too long ago and I guess some stuff is supposed to be coming down about people not getting their mail. I'm one of them. He gets a letter from me Mon-Fri and he'd get one Sat and Sun if he could get them then too. Always letters and cards. He gets a wide assortment. Most of my letters are 8-10 pages each. He can't complain. I don't mind so much about the letters b/c we talk on the phone at least once everyday if not more, and I see him once a week. I still want my mail. We've got a civil lawsuit started now. We'll see what happens.

I was getting at least 3 letters a week. But the last couple of weeks I have been gettin one. I went a whole week without one!! But I understand, he is on restriction so he don't get to leave his cell, and much don't go on. I told him I don't care I better at least get one to know tht your ok! I don't get to see him much. Once a month unless I get lucky. I write him everyday, so he gets mail everyday.

I'm another spoiled one! My husband writes me every day and I do the same. We live for one anothers mail. We don't talk on the phone at all. I do visit him twice a month but he still waits for mail call every day.

06127088 is his number his birth date is 7-11-1953, and i have his social if that will help

yeah--he drives me nuts:)..cuz he always says..'write me!'..but what the hell am i supposed to write about when i talk to him and see him..and he never writes me! MEN ARE WEIRD! :haha:

Well my man doesn't enjoy writing period! But he would at least once a week to make me happy! Well I spoil my honey and send a letter everyday...well there was a point in time where the mail room at the prison was lagging for some reason and he didn't receive a letter from me for more than a week...he called me and told me now he knew how I felt and ever since then I get at least 3 a week! I explained to him that his letters mean a lot to me and now he understands. I think you should just explain to him the importance of your letters...maybe he doesn't know how much you cherish them.

We both write each other everyday. Although, he can't send mail out on Saturdays and Sundays so I usually get a really long letter on Tuesdays. I send one out everyday besides Sunday so he gets a long one on Tuesdays as well. Lately we have been writing 5-7 pages a day. We see each other four times a month. But we aren't so lucky with phone calls... he only gets a call once a week at this time so I guess that's why we write so often and so lengthy. But I do love those letters :)

Ericsprincess81~ He doesn't like to write either. In fact, he hates it. I've told him many times how much I cherish his letters, but I don't think he fully understands. He lives for my letters, so why can't he understand that I live for his too. Even if they don't say much, it's the thought. Believe me, I've told him more times than I can count. Right now though, since the prison is messing w/ his mail going out to me, I've told him not to write to me. It's pointless. I figure it's a waste of time since I'm not going to be getting them. I made a joke once, that I'll probably get them after he's already been home for a few months. He didn't think that was too funny, considering we have a little over 3yrs to go. I thought it was comical anyways.

I am lucky as we are a distance away he makes certain that i get at least three letters a week and sends cards as well, communication levels depend on each person tho as some guys just are not writers, it does not mean they do not care just that they are not writers arri

My hubby writes a lot but we live at the moment in different countries and we cant use the phone so this is the only communication we have, I'm sure we would both write less if we had other ways of talking or seeing each other

I usually get a letter a week, he mails out a letter on Sunday nite - I get it on Wednesday, sometimes I get a surprise letter in Saturday's mail. We talk to each other on the phone almost every day - and usually 4 or 5 times (BAD phone bill!!) So there's not much for him to write about that he didn't already tell me! I still write to him every day though.

My babe use to write 2 letters a week. And now its been about like a month since i've gotten a letter from him. :( I hope a get one this week if not someones gonna get it.

Maybe once a week, if I'm lucky. I write him every day although I only mail them out Mon-Fri and they don't get delivery on Sats anymore (budget cuts - yeah....right...) But I know he runs out of stamps and doesn't always get to go to commissary so I cut him some slack - sometimes..

Even though I think it is important for our guys to be writing when they can, we should understand something...they don't have much to talk about like we do!

We write each other almost everyday. In fact I got a letter from him just 3 or 4 days after arriving to reception. This is gonna be his last time going or i'm exiting leftand he knows this.
bye!

James varies all the time. He can do real good for a while maybe 2-3 a week. then nothing. I finally had enough and at this last visit I spoke my mind about it and told him why I need to hear from him and that i'm not asking for a book or anything. He promised to do better so we'll see.
Spikeswife

Well when we used to live in the same state he wrote me everyday(I did too)....now that i live in Georgia i hear from him once a week. I MISS HIM!!!

Maybe someon might have the same thing happening as me. Grrrrrrr I haven't gotten a letter since right after Christmas!!!! I know he has wrote but with the US and Canadian mail I don't know when I will get somewthing. I had a box sent to me on Dec 16 from texas($75 bucks shipping and it was to be here in 6 day's) got it last week. I talked to his mom last night and she saw him last sun and is going to see him today!! Wish it was me... She says he is very happy he is getting my letters and talks alot about me.. Mind you I'm in canada and he is in Texas. Feels like the Moon from here. Well looks like I will wait to get something.. Nothing else I can do.. Anyone recieveing things from Colfield Unit Tennesse Colony that has been recieveing mail find there has been a difference( he told his mom that mail has been change to 5 days a week?)??? Let me know... :argh

all the best to you all
Witty

I dont really like to write to my mijo-cause it gets me all sad, and I start missing him soooo much more. So if Im lucky he'll send me a letter once a month-I hate that but I cant blame him-I hardly ever write to him. :(

Wilson writes me once a week if I’m lucky.. But normally I'll get a letter every other week. I write to him every other day. I think he doesn't write as often because prison life is so repetitive and he feels like there really is nothing to write about.

My husband writes me everyday!

Mine Use To Write Alot, Now I Just Get My Drawings And Cards In The Mail, I Have Not Gotten A Letter In A Few Months, He Calls Everyday And I See Him Every Weekend So Theres Not Much To Say In A Letter. I Write Maybe 2-3 Times A Week. I Just Love To Hear His Voice And See His Face So Im Happy With That.

im a lucky one too, joseph writes almost everyday! but then again he loves writting~i write every night, even if it is short,he always needs to hear "i love you"

I GET ANYWHERE FROM 2-4 LETTERS A WEEK, AND ANYONE WHO KNOWS ME KNOWS THAT I AM PISSED WHEN I DON'T!!! WELL I LOVE MY BABY!!!!! :blah:

I get two letters a week, I use to get one everyday, but he is slacking now, I hate it!

I WRITE HIM EVERYDAY ATLEAST 2 PAGES FRONT AND BACK,SOMETIMES I EVEN WRITE TWICE IN THE SAMEDAY. HE WRITES ME TWICE A WEEK 3 LONG PAGES BOTH SIDES. IT TAKES FOREVER FOR HIM TO RECIEVE MY LETTERS. HE'S REPLYING TO MY LETTERS DATED MARCH 31 APRIL 2 & 3 THIS WEEK AND I'M ON MY WAY TO OUR SECOND VISIT SATURDAY:D . iTS SO NICE TO HAVE A CONVO IN REAL TIME

I love my man. So far this week I have gotten three letters , that's normally his avg.
It make me feels like I have made the right choice by waiting for him everytime I read his love letters.

Mike writes me about 3 times a week is our average sometimes 4 it's according on when he gets my letters(he doesn't get mail on Saturday)

I receive letters from Mario atleast 3 times a week.

My husband writes me about 3 -4 times a week His letters are normally 5-6 pages long. back to front. As soon as i get one i write him back and he does the same..

when rick & i started writing in 2000 he wrote 3-5 times a week. then, it was 3-4, then 2-3....eventually we stopped writing and relied on the phone. then the phone bill got too high and he started writing 1-2 x a week until he got out in 2002. he's now in county lock-up has been for a little over 2 months and no mail (mind u i have written him)....he calls me once per week but that's about to change as i'm going to tell him the next time he calls that a 15 min. phone call once per week is not enough to sustain our relationship!!

Twice a week or more...but there has been times when a week or two went past without something. Everyone, including myself, get in those moods where picking up a pen doesn't seem possible.....or is that just my thougths? :p

my fiance writes usually once a week but he's written me 2 or 3 times a week. his letters can be really long too.i love letters and all that stuff.

Dee writes me everyday- the only days I don't get mail are Monday, because IDOC mail doesn't go out on Saturday's and then Sunday of course. It's been like this for years- we write everyday. It's extremely rare if one or the other doesn't get something out in the mail everyday.

Some men write more than others. My son and I only write 1-2 times a month. mostly because there isn't much going on, or new to say. My husband was never much of a writer when he was gone, either.

I know that our letters mean a lot to the guys, though. It's pretty lonely in prison, so a friendly letter means a lot. I have been trying to get my son some penpals, but haven't had much luck. I figure a 19-year-old guy would like to hear from someone other than his mother, y'know? (He has been in since he was 14).

Try not to despair if you don't get much mail. He probably just doesn't know what to write.

Take care! noescape

I know that I am completely spoiled, but I get 12 pages every day and I also send him the same. yes, I do work, and I have a very full life. But I journal to him every single day and it has helped us tremendously. It makes it almost as if he's home.

Me and my baby write to eachother once a week. He told me he would write more but not too much happens where he's at and he dosen't want me to get tired of him telling me how much he loves me... Now how could I get tired of that!!!??? :D

My husband writes every day.

Almost never. Usually just cards on special occasions. However, he did send quite a few when he was in another state and I couldn't go visit. Now, he's at the edge of town so I see him at least twice a week for long contact visits and phone calls are only a dollar so I get a lot of those. I do wish he would send a letter once in a while, though, because then I would have them around to re-read when I felt like being close to him. However, I never write either so who am I to complain? Gee- maybe I'll send one out and see what happens!!

i get a letter every day

My husband use to write me everyday, once he got to fire camp, I'm lucky if I get a letter once a month. He says its because by the time he talks to me on the phone, he has nothing to write about.

He writes everyday, but sends them twice a week. So in one envelope I get letters that he wrote from Thursday to Sunday (he mails it on Monday), and in another envelope I get one that he writes from Monday to Wednesday (mails it on Wednesday). That way I know exactly when I will get mail from him, and it saves stamps and envelopes.

i get 2-3 letters a week- he writes about 4 pages a letter!

my baby writes at least once a week. He says that he gets so many letters he never knows where to start so he tries to wait till the end of the week and write one really big letter at the end of the week. But he knows that I freak out if I don't hear from him so he tries to write more

Well he used to write one a week or one every two weeks. Now it's one page letter every month or so. I used to write 3 to 4 letters every week but, since stop doing it because, it was becoming to hard on me for his lack of letter writing. He has since called me last week and brought up the fact that I haven't been writing as much (I already told him why I stoped along time ago) and asked if I missed him :hmm: I told him when he starts writing more then I'll will too.. but since the recent death of his brother I've been droping him a line much more again :broken:

Well when he was writing it would get about 2-3 letters a week...but I haven't heard from him in 2 weeks. I am very upset!!

You know what....writting is NOT for EVERYONE! If thats your only means of communication then I might be upset but, if you have visits and/or calls....then I wouldn't worry to much...he's just not a writter! There are alot of men that don't like writting, it doesen't mean that he doesen't love you 100%!

On the other hand....my man LOVES to write and I get 10-12 pages every couple days. Once I got a 27 pager!!!!!!! hahaha

Awwww babygirl...whats up with that? Did you guys have a fight? Could he be in the hole? Are you ok....we're here for ya!

one week i got about 15 letters. i was happy. but mad, cause damn, thats alot of writin i have to do!! lol, but i love his letters. i sometimes get anywhere from 4-8.

He usually writes about two a week, but who knows - he's just at the start of his time so that might change. Last week I went five days without a letter - that was too long! He says he never knows what to write about except me - it's been like pulling teeth to get him to write about other things - but I think if you tell him it's important to you he will try. I write about four times a week, it's like being able to talk to him, and I don't expect to get a reply to each one but if he doesn't keep up his end he will find out what it's like to go without! :)

I've had four letters since he left in January...I do see him every other week, but have tried to make him realize that the letters are important also...that concept just 747's right over his head - what a man! HA!
Thought it would have registered when he was talking about being able to pull my letters out and re-read them all the time and I told him I didn't have that luxury. The blank look made me tell him point-blank - Honey, I don't have any to re-read - Hello!!! Honestly, he is just one of those guys that doesn't like to write - gotta love him, though, ya know! I've stopped worrying about it now....we talk several times a week and have the visits every other weekend so I can live with that until he's home.
His lack of writing doesn't stop me from sending at least one card a week and 2-3 letters also, though...and he loves getting them and does appreciate them...besides, I thought it was awful sweet that he takes them out and re-reads them too.

Ron hates writing because of his spelling problems, but lately I have gotten one letter per week for a while. I am content with that. I will send a package of letters once every two weeks to him. It keeps him busy and he can read it all at his own pace and respond at his own pace. I know we love one another and communication is important to us, but I don't feel the need to have a letter everyday because I can't send a letter everyday either. He is busy with school and that is what I want him concentrating on, not on whether or not I am mad at him for not writing. He used to write once a month, but as his spelling has improved he has done bette.

Well in the beginning he would write to me everyday pages so damn long I would have to take break.. but I loved every one of them. I keep them in a box so I can re read them. Now I get a letter every two or three days. The longest he goes without writing is about a week. According to him is because I spoil him with the phone. we talk all the time. We talk about anything and everything.. Makes our relationship stronger..

I get upset when I dont get mail but I do talk to him.. I love his letters makes me feel closer to him.


Damn I love that man.

Well I was getting a letter each day but now its not even that last week I only got 3 letters & so far this week I haven't got any...but I get to talk to Brennan everyday so he feels like if he talks to me its better than I receiving a letter....:no: I love getting his letters and reading his words it actually makes me sane sometimes!!!

We Use To Write To Each Other Every Day Then He Started Slacking Off And Now I Do So We Write Like Onece Or Twice A Week Depends If We Talk That Week Then We'll Remind Each Other To Write More But He Only Writes Like 2 Pages He Send Lots Of Drawing He Loves To Draw And Lots Of Panos

My husband writes me every single day. I try to write him a letter every day, but sometimes I just write a little, and then when the next day comes I write that date, and write on the same letter. Once he got 5 days worth of writing on one letter. The letter was 6 pages long, but it just took me a long, long time to finishe it. I try to make sure and send one every day so hopefully he will get one every day, but it never works out that way. Sometimes he doesn't get one for a week, and then 5-6 at once! Same thing with the hometown newspaper I send him. And I know the newspaper office sends one out every day. I think they hold the mail sometimes just for meaness. If they ever had a big uprising over no mail they would think twice about doing that again!

Hey! My letters vary. sometimes he writes once a week but sometimes i'll get 2! :D i love it when that happens. but yea...it definitely varies.

ick. i havent gotten my letter yet because of the holiday weekend. i HATE it when i dont get a letter.
ill be hunting down the mailman tomorrow though!
i usually get 2 or even sometimes 3 a day...i make sure i put lots of $$ in his account each visit for stamps, cards or paper.

I get a letter a week if I'm lucky. I send him three letters a week and he gets cards and postcards, too. I told him I was gonna go on strike cause I feel like I'm talking to myself. So far, he's been writing four page letters:)

He writes at least once a week unless he gets into his feelings because I haven't written then I don't hear from him. At times though when I say "I NEED YOU TO WRITE MORE OFTEN NOW..I AM HAVING A TOUGH TIME" he does just that and everything he doesn't say in our 15min conversation he says in his letters and they keep me going...... reminding me why I love him so much!!!

He writes quite a bit more than I do and he hates it!
I do write him everyday though. In Tx there is no mail on Saturdays so he gets a letter or two everday Monday through Friday. I get a letter everyday Tuesday-Saturday. Since we both receive mail everyday we are fine but he gripes because his are alomost always much longer than mine. The longets I have ever written was 8 pages back and front and that was only once. He has on several occasion written 10 or 9 pages back and front and he writes much smaller than I do.......
But it's the thought that counts right?!?!?

I'm lucky if I get one a week--it's usually one every two weeks, but writing is hard for him and he just doesn't like to do it. Also, after he works all day and works out and goes to classes, he doesn't have a lot of free time except on the weekends when I don't visit. We do talk at least 2 times a day, so I can handle not getting a lot of letters. I try to write him once or twice a week and send cards, copies of different emails I get, etc. He also gets letters from his daughters and a couple of other friends, but still likes to get mine. One time I got really busy and didn't write for over a week and he asked me if I had hurt my hand! I really felt bad and have tried to be better about writing since then. Since we talk so often, I don't have a lot to say and since I know my letters are read by someone else first, there are a lot of things I won't say except in person!

I was wondering how often does your man write you? He writes every other week, is that normal? or am I the only one out there. I try not to get mad at him but it's hard. It wouldn't bother me so much if they were longer then 1 to 2 pages. I send out like 2 to 3 letters a week at least 10 pages long.. Should I stop writing him to show him how it feels or is that just to mean?
well he was writing like twice a week now he ran out of stamps and any money i try to get to him they take it so girls if he does not write dont worry there is always a reason. oh by the way i am new just reading makes me feel better thanks guys!!:o

Patrick normally writes once a week, occassionally 2-3 times a week, but I haven't received anything in a month. It's not his fault, so I'm not mad.

He just surrendered about a week ago. I have written him like 7 times and have gotten one letter from him. I have always written to him even before he left. He wouldn't write me then. He is not the writing type. But he did say in that letter that he is trying. I know he is. I hope to get at a minimum a letter a week. Playing 20 questions will help him put his thoughts on paper.

it depends, but i atleast get 2 letters a week.

My baby writes me at least three times a week and boy do I need those letters!!

He writes me 2 to 3 times a week, sometimes more. There have been a few occassions when I didn't get mail for several weeks and I was P*ssed and told him he'd receive the same if that didn't change. Basically he had spent his money on other things and didn't have write outs. When I said sweetly, well that's ok, I could quit writing you so often, you wouldn't want to feel pressured...... ( lol ) he said NOOOOOOO.

My boyfriend and I write to each other every single day. Even if it is just a note to let the other one know that we are thinking of each other. Mail is pretty much the highlight of their day so I make sure that he gets PLENTY of it. Even though we're out, getting mail is the highlight of my day too. Although they really don't have too much to talk about in there and sometimes getting paper, envelopes and stamps isn't so easy. Of course I got lucky though, he's definitely a writer, he wrote me even before he left. Try not to get too discouraged and let him know how good it makes you feel to hear from him, even if it's just a note to say I Love You.

I'm with KittyDay, I everyday and sometimes more since October 12th, 2003. I have boxes of letters, I have to started storing in sheet protectors in binders. I think they tell a story and it's nice to look back on how much we've grown and how far we've come. He saves his from me too and sends home a box every once in awhile so we can put the same day letters together. When he comes home, we'll go back through and see what we were both feeling on the same days during milestones etc. Just for interesting read and memories. Good luck!

My husband only writes me when we can't talk on the phone. When there is no phone then I get atleast 1 letter a week and atleast 2-3 cards a month.

I get about one letter about a page and half long every other week. I write to him every Sunday and whenever I can get a chance besides that. I go to school full time, work and take care of our son, so it is hard. I can't get phone calls so besides visits that's our only communication. He says he doesn't know what to write because it's the same thing everyday, he goes to school and work in there.

i was getting on average 2 a week but since doc is taking all his money for some bogus medical charge I only get about 1 letter a month. It is killing both of us.
