My hubby will call several times a day to see how I'm doing and to chat. blahblah1.gif I sit on my rear end all day in front of the computer, what could I possibly have to say that can't wait until I see you??? :huh:

Who's the phone person in your relationship?? How many times a day do you feel the need to talk to your S/O? :happy: This was a radio topic a few mornings ago and one guy called and said he and his wife call each other at least 3 times a hour. :noway:

    I see enough of him in the evening, why would I want to spend more time talking to him? Other than to ask him to pick something up from the shop on his way home from work...

    not at all unless it is important. Say all the "how did your day go" conversation for home so I have something to talk about. but I do get the occasional text.

    i do not have this problem.... in fact... all i can say is enjoy the fact that you get to see your SO. When mine is home he works swing shift so I see him on the weekends. Currently mine is on the other side of the world so my conversations are via email mainly as he works days there so I email him at night before I got to bed, if he's not too busy at work....

    And yes I know this sounds kinda bitter... sorry for that... just dont take for granted your ability to see and chat with your spouse at a moments notice.

    3 times an hour is ridiculous. I might actually speak to my husband once throughout the day while we are working but most of the time we exchange texts one to two times a day mostly to ask if anything is needed on the way home or discuss something one of my kids has called about. Everything else waits until we get home.

    Wow, if my wife tried calling 3x an hour it would still likely be just to tell me what I did wrong....I'd have to change my number. LOL

    I listen to the phone ring almost endlessly at work and spend hours on it.
    I hate telephones. :grumble:

    My boyfriend and I text basically through out the day. It's pretty nice sending eachother random and flirty texts. I smile whenever I see his pic pop up.

    Haha, my husband and I are both pretty busy so talking on the phone isn't generally an option...but we will call eachother if we find it to be an "important " issue.

    We do sometimes text a few times a day. :smile:

    3 times an hour?!?!?!?! That seems almost unhealthy.... I'd say I'm much less the phone person in our relationship. Mainly because, like you said, there just isn't much to say when u live together. I often find myself TRYING to think of things to say so we're not listening to each other breath. He also will usually drop me a text or two during the day. But, its still nice to know that he WANTS to talk to me.

    Ugh, I'd destroy my phone if it were 3 times an hour. THough my wife calls me a lot. I don't like looong phone conversations, so I have thear her go on and on and on...AND ON about everything before I can finally get off the phone.

    same here!! i dont think i use my cell phone to talk ever, but i do have a co worker who calls me about 40 times a day lol but i call her too. we call to ask each other stuff, or to talk about what we ate, or tell eachother what were gonna eat, or to share a good deal we found, even if its for a second :)

    fortunately my s/o and I have an agreement. when either of us feel we're "chatting up a storm here", it is time to hang up. :)

    We only text throughout the day. He was gone for 2 years for basic training +AIT in the military so we were constantly texting throughout the whole day. We've kept this up since he came home. We enjoy it but we hardly ever speak on the phone. Not a big deal for us.

    At most a couple of times a day, and usually to make sure we have the kids covered, or dinner, etc... I'd have to kill him if he called me more than that..

    When I work from home, he has this uncanny ability to call me just about 5 minutes after I decide I need to take a nap, and usually when I have just drifted off to sleep. This is most unpleasant...

    Every one I know, knows I don't like to talk on the phone. If they need something, they call Jan or Holland. The only person that calls me is Holland. And that is only when she is going somewhere. I ask her to call me when she arrives, so I know she got there okay.

    I usually call when I leave work to let her know Im coming home or what we are having for dinner etc. We will text during the day if its something that needs attention.

    On average, I speak to my husband maybe once a day, usually not at all. When one of us does call, it's about dinner/evening plans or because one of us has found an answer to something the other wanted to know or needs to know something that can't wait until the evening. No chit chat. Neither of us really has the time and I don't need my co-workers who sit all around me to hear my chatting it up with him.

    I'm usually the needy one, and can admit to it. ;D, but it's just with texting, not calling. I hate talking on the phone, it gets the screen dirty. :)
