Finding comfort in virtual presence

yes for sure

My boyfriend and I do this nightly. We'll fall asleep together over FaceTime, and if we skip a night, I can't sleep.

Me and my partner used to spend all of our time video chatting. Since we're both disabled and have been at least semi bed ridden our whole relationship and long distance for a chunk of it. It worked as a nice adjustment for going from separate households to two bedridden people sharing a bed almost all day and having him there at night even if it wasn't physically helped a lot with my nightmares and anxiety.

Yes I do but that's all I got with my wife because her sister won't allow me to see her so I treasure the video calls and the falling asleep together it makes me feel special and wanted

My fiance and I met about 4 years ago. We lived about a half hour from each other, so that wasn't a terrible issue, but we worked different shifts. He worked mornings I worked 2nd. When I got home at 10pm he would let me FaceTime him. We would talk for a little bit, then we would fall asleep on the call and wake up to each other's voice. (Or alarm. Lol) we did that everyday we were apart until he joined the army about 8 months in to our relationship. When he was at basic, he didn't have his phone, so we couldn't FaceTime. But once he graduated basic and went to his advanced training, we went back to facetiming every night. We now live with each other, and he is my entire heart. We are going to get married this year. Facetiming all night is 100% a comfort thing. For both of you. I believe it helped me get to know my fiance in ways I probably wouldn't have otherwise. Hope this helps.

100% it feels less alone. I think I'll always favor it over physically going to bed and sleeping next to someone just because its company without the touch, lol.
