I refuse to be one of those wives who...

calls my husband 43949329402 times a day!

I dont get it...why do some woman call their husbands so many times a day (ie someone that works here). Its especially annoying when he is out at a meeting and I see the number come up over and over again. Maybe because she is stay at home and likes to check in or mayb it is about the kids - I dunno but its insane!

Also my hub usually works from home or travels and we rarely talk during the day...maybe email or a blackberry message but nothing crazy.

Ok VENT OVER

eta - this is not to offend anyone or offend stay at home people

I have the opposite. My DH calls me all day long up until he goes to work at 3.

It can be annoying but a call here and there is nice! Especially since we don't see each other much Mon-Fri

we usually only talk 1x a day, if that.

My old bosses wife used to call the office 25x a day, no joke.

I have a woman here who has a husband that calls constantly! I think he is a teacher, and he calls her on his breaks. But, it can be a bit annoying.

It would be nice if DH called me once a day or something, but I like it when he texts me in the morning randomly and just says 'i love you' or he will email me sometimes during the day and say 'I miss you' blah blah...stuff like that.

I prefer little things like that , but I don't think I could talk to him everyday on the phone. I just don't have much to talk about, and I hate talking on the phone!!!!!

ughh that would annoy me- dh and I talk maybe once during the day- but sometimes I call him and he's like 'whatdaya want?' and sometimes I do the same thing to him- I mean god, we'll see each other in a couple hours in most cases- and most times it can wait.

Dh and I usually talk 1-2 times a day, but there are also days we dont talk at all until we got home from work. So each day is different

Re: I refuse to be one of those wives who...

we talk a lot at work - not long conversations but like every hour or two one of us gets bored and calls the other......sometimes its to tell the other to read an article, and there is always one converstaion to try and figure out what is for dinner, and sometimes just to vent - usually stupid stuff and conversations lasts less than 5 minutes.....

yesterday i called DH a bunch of times b/c i was home sick and i was bored - he said, 'wow, what are you going to do if you stay home in florida? call me all day?' but it was weird b/c i think we talked less yesterday - he didn't call me at all and i called him maybe 4 or 5 times (he was at work from 9-7) - so it was def less times than we talk when we are both at work - i guess it just seemed different to him since i was home hahahaha.....

other than that if he is out with a friend i don't call - same thing - if i am out he doesn't call me - if we are both out then we call eachother to see what time the other is coming home, or if i am out and he is working (a wedding) he calls to give me updates on what time he thinks he will be done breaking down and getting out of there so i can meet him home (which is usually like 1am)....

my boss teases me all the time i guess he thinks that we talk a lot form work......he goes i miss you, i love you, and makes fun of me but its funny b/c those aren't our conversations at all.....but we do call eachother a lot from work

DH likes to know that i got to work okay so i always call in the morning and i always call to tell him when i am leaving so that is 2 times right there - once around lunch time - and then here or there we call - so that adds up to our 4 or 5 times a day hahaha

I never talk to DH during the day! Lately he comes home for lunch, but before he started that, there was really no way to get in touch with him. He works at an auto body shop, so he's not at a desk - and he has a cell but hates it and only puts it on when I ask him to, when he goes out at night If it's an emergency, I'll call him at work -- which I think I have done 2x in the 3 years he's worked at the place he's at now. He hates the phone!

Re: I refuse to be one of those wives who...

yeah we only talk once a day and usually it is him calling me about something...i just get preoccupied at work and forget he is home

sometimes we go without talking on the phone/email/texts until I get home from work.

but i am used to not hearing from him for a week or weeks so it's really no biggie.

I never call DH during the day unless I have a question. Once in a while I'll call to say hi, but not often.

DH, however, calls me a lot just to say hi. LOL. It's cute, it lets me know he's thinking about me, which i appreciate, but sometimes he'll be like, 'hi, whats up' and i'm like, 'the same thing that was up an hour ago -- i'm working'

My friend does that to her FH and she's at work too!

Although when the random times DH calls me when I'm at work, he always asks what I'm doing. I'm like, between the hours of 9-5, I'm working!

We actually talk quite a bit throughout the day and we both call each other. If I have to say how often we talk it's probably about 6 times a day...it just happens he will call to say hi on his breaks and I will call him too..it's always been that way with us. Now if we go out at night that's a different story we don't call each other all night.

DH says i am the worst on the phone which can be true. He gets annoyed that im not the most cheerful person on the phone, i guess he expects this big OMG HELLO!!! but i am never like that and when is he going to realize that lol.

We dont talk all day, but here and there.

I call when I get home from work, and he calls when he is on his way home, I use to be annoying a few yrs ago when dating and he was having a bad day and screamed would you QUIT calling me. and I quit.

lol. I find it strange if DH DOES call me during the day. While at work, maybe a few texts will be passed, but never a phone call (unless something urgent comes up). We see enough of each other AFTER work

Some days we call more than others depending on how busy we are...all DH's calls are recorded so we barely say anything but yet we have to check in....

I know someone like this as well, they call their DH a million times a day while they are trying to work.

Me on the other hand, unless my house is burning down or I am gushing blood i never call DH.


Its just so much better when he calls me!
I feel like he wants to talk to me during his busy work day.
