How to Comfort Your Girlfriend Over Text
First, it’s important to remember that everyone deals with grief, stress, and problems differently.

How Often Should You Text Your Girlfriend If She’s Sad?
There’s no set rule, but a good general guideline is to check in with her as often as you think she needs it as you’ll know her better than anyone.
You can also react to how she’s responding to your text messages, if she’s responding at all.
If she’s dealing with something big, you might want to check in more frequently – maybe even several times a day.
But if she’s just going through a tough patch, checking in once a day or every other day should be fine if that’s the vibe you’re getting from her messages.
The most important thing is that you’re there for her and you’re making yourself available, and making it known that you’ll do anything she needs.
As long as you’re clear about that and you give her the time she needs, I’m sure she’ll thank you for being the wonderful, supportive boyfriend you are!
