Sometimes you don't need to fill the silence with sounds. I'd rather be in a relationship with someone that we can sit down and be quiet together
Or you can use literal sounds instead of words. My spouse and I have this thing going on where we make this kind of squeak/baloon sound with our mouth which has the same effect as "hi, nice to see you".
Oh thank god my partner and I aren't the only ones. Don't get me wrong, we know and like that we're weird, but it's nice to have company.
A few steps away from becoming furries.

Hahahaha I love hearing about other people’s microcultures
My wife and I do things in threes: three taps, three nudges, three blinks, three noises, whatever. It means “I love you”. It’s a nice way to say it when you’re too tired to say it. I think it originated when we’d say it as we were falling asleep.
Me and my gf usually say Ahoozles (shortened from Anyhoozles) and just a way of saying “I want to talk to you, I just don’t know what I want to talk about
We just say "you know..." and then the other person will either say "yep/same" or "no I don't know" depending on the mood. And if the cat makes noise we'll also just say "I know buddy me too"
Or fuck.
For most couples that takes up like 15 minutes once every 3-5 days or possibly much longer.
Longer than 15 minutes?
Longer than 3-5 days I think
I don't know if I have the stamina to go for 3 to 5 days, let alone longer!
They did say "sometimes", but it seems like you took that to mean "all the times"?
Everything is a balance and people are different anyways. I don't know many people who like any of the extremes. But it's a different amount for everyone. And the "partner" thing is strange anyways. As long as you're madly in love, you probably enjoy hearing about every pea in their canteen meal. That might fade after 20 years of marriage. Or a stressful day at work. Or with kids. Or it doesn't. Both is fine. As long as it's consenting partners. 😆
