One in six Brits are so needy they expect to hear from their partner every hour
They say a healthy couple is one where both partners are independent and happy being separated.
But modern technology has made near- constant contact the norm, and a staggering one in six Brits are so needy they expect to hear from their partner every hour of the waking day, according to a new study.
Mobile phones and social networking means 41 per cent now expect their loved ones to be in touch several times a day.
The research looked at our relationships with loved ones and businesses - and found Brits choose quality over quantity.
The study suggests we would rather have fewer but closer friends, than a load of pals that aren't close to us.
Two thirds said they have no more than five close friends.
And one in eight (13 per cent) say having fewer friends makes them feel healthier.
The study of 2,000 British adults found we value the same traits in personal relationships as we do with businesses.
Six in ten - 60 per cent - believe trust is the most important aspect to business relationships while 71 per cent say it's the most important for personal ones.
Trust, honesty and loyalty are key components to a strong business relationship whereas trust, loyalty and humour make for a strong personal relationship.
