I don’t think someone should be considered a red flag person just because they don’t drive

Maybe it’s an American thing. I am from Europe and it is much more difficult here to get a driving license.

I think it is an American thing.

I havent owned a car for 15 years (since I lived in the states actually)

 

And yes, getting a licensed most places is tough, and not something everyone does. In the states I rocked up and drove around what was essentially a car park.I thought it was a joke initially (though I guess it varies by state too)

 

In this case, the ops gf has made choices where needing a car is a must. So I would class it as a bit of a red flag.

I'm in trouble if my marriage ends. I don't want to get involved in texting good morning & goodnight. It actually annoys me when people send me those.

 

I'll see you when I see you. I do make time for people in my life. I don't make time for my phone.

 

It's just a text. It takes a few seconds out of your life. If it makes your partner happy, then why not do it? I don't think it's worth making a fuss over either way (i.e. whether you're the one who likes to get a text but doesn't, or the one who doesn't like sending texts but does).

 

Personally I'd be more bothered by the fact that someone was getting upset over this issue, than the issue itself. If someone can't handle something so small, what is it going to be like with the big things?

 

Uhg. I hate when relationships have these rules that you have to follow as if it’s a job.

 

Why do you think of it as a rule?

 

I'll put it another way. If someone expects you to send a goodnight text and gets clingy and upset when you don't, then that's a hassle, I'll agree. But if they don't do that and you know that they would secretly feel nice about you sending them a text and you don't do it, then why wouldn't you? It's not a "rule", it's just part of (presumably) dozens of little things partners do for each other that they know they like.
