I talk to my wife daily. I have talked to her daily since we started dating, and even before. By daily I mean not a single day has gone by where we didn't talk, either in person or on the phone.
As for the rest of the world, it depends on who I am talking about. My grandfather raised me from about 3 to 14, and I haven't talked to him in...7 years? He even lives just a couple of miles away. He was important in my life in that he raised me during that time, but he was a royal asshole. Sometime during college I realized that I didn't actually have to talk to him, so I haven't since. I've even driven by (checking on hurricane damage to the old house) and saw him and he saw me, and I kept driving.
I chat with my in-laws all the time. We're close and they consider me their kid as much as their own kids. In fact Dad was over today helping me paint a bedroom.
I talk to friends pretty rarely. I just saw 2 very good friends that I hadn't seen in 7 years. They came to our halloween party from about an hour and a half away. I have some local friends too, but we chat maybe once a month to once every 2 weeks.
