Too many relationships become exhausting not because there are massive problems, but because things become too serious, too routine, and too predictable. Couples stop playing with each other on an emotional level. They stop teasing each other.
They stop joking around and letting loose. Everything becomes “responsible” and “logical” and the spark between them becomes quieter and quieter.
I have seen couples who genuinely love each other experience small feelings of disconnect simply because their communication lacked a playful energy.

Why Couples Send Annoying Messages
These types of interactions usually occur when a couple feels comfortable, secure, and emotionally safe with each other. They aren’t trying to annoy you out of anger or bitterness. They want to play with you emotionally and see how you react.
As relationships progress, they naturally fall into routines and familiarity. Conversation turns into mundane “how was your day” or “I’m busy” type of replies. But these types of texts turn that routine into something more. They force your partner to be playful and respond with emotion rather than habit.
Not only can this bring back the playfulness in your relationship, but it can also help with your emotional connection. Couples that know how to joke with each other and have that playful banter tend to have longer lasting relationships because they’ve learned how to be serious when they need to be… but they don’t have to be serious all the time.
Once again, the foundation of these types of texts is built on mutual understanding. You both need to know that the other person isn’t sending them out of insecurity, manipulation, or trying to pressure the other person. You send these texts because it’s funny and you enjoy playing emotional pokeboots with each other.
Relationships Don’t Have to Be Serious All of the Time
They can be funny, they can be playful, and they should be allowed to go outside of “normal routine” every once in a while.
If you throw in a random sarcastic comment here and there or send a funny message to your SO every once in a while, it will not hurt your relationship. In fact, it will probably do the opposite and strengthen your connection.
Relationships are healthy when there is stability, but they are also playful.
