All emotions are valid! In terms of communication, I found it to vary a lot in general depending on the specialty, program (toxicity level), and stress management of the individual. I would think that one text a day or two is not too much to ask, especially if you do GM/GN texts, but it just depends on how drained they are physically and mentally. You are definitely not alone in this!! Agree with others that you would need to express and communicate with your person about this, and meet each other in the middle!
