Actually, its not irrelevant, because its working for her bf, or has evidently worked for him up until now. I never said nor implied that just because I don't communicate daily, that it should be fine for everyone else.
The point of me even responding was to show the OP that there are others like her bf, who don't feel the need for daily communication, yet still care deeply for our loved ones. Others like the 22y.o poster before me, others like my bf, friends and family. It's not as uncommon as people online seem to think it is.
Just because we now have access to instant communication doesn't mean we all suddenly feel the need to constantly communicate. It's optional.
You're definitely right, its about what's agreed upon, and OP clearly didn't agree. So its up to OP and her bf to find a compromise that works for both of them.
I'm just throwing in my 00.02 so OP doesn't write him off based on a misjudgment (game playing) due to his lack of communication.

I agree with you in general. You make sense
I just don't want people to dismiss her feelings because others don't want daily communications either. Her feelings are valid. And based on my life experience most people do communicate daily to their significant others (I am older than you and op so perhaps I judge by my age category but Don't laugh I just texted my 27-year-old married daughter and asked if she and her husband communicated daily when dating, she said "of course! From the day we've met!" I had to tell her why I am asking lol lol So maybe not just age
Op doesn't have to dismiss him but ignoring it will result in eventual resentment . I hope she discusses it with him before it starts truly bothering her
