How often do you talk with your H during the day?

EnglishMajor03 · September 2011

I think we're on the low side...as in one 5 minute conversation. H is so not a phone person and trying to get him to talk puts me in a bad mood so we just bypass the whole thing with a quick hello.

How about you? Do you talk a lot to your H or not?

naturelle25 · September 2011

Most days not at all. If he is later than usual, I will call but besides that we dont talk during the day. I am SO not a phone person.

spiritenergy · September 2011

0-2 times a day. He is really busy at work and does not have a lot of free time.

Usually none. If I'm really bored or the kids are driving me to drink, I'll give him a quick call, but otherwise, we use email if we need to touch base.

mabma80 · September 2011

This has been asked before on here. Not that long ago either. But I said we talk near the end of his work day. Usually around 4:30pm on his cell. Sometimes, he/I will send an email if we need to know something. And then, of course, emergencies.

jnksmom · September 2011

We don't talk on the phone often at all until he is on his way home...he always calls to say he is leaving work. Occasionally he will call me to tell me something but not often. He is busy at work and has a lot of meetings so not much time for phone conversations. We do text or email during the day more often though. Like today, I texted him around 9am to tell him something. We sent maybe 4 texts each and I have not heard from him since.

We text and email all day. We usually talk on the phone 1-2 times (2-5 minutes, just about scheduling or dinner or something). We often have lunch with him - today at a lake by his work. We communicate more during the day than we do after DD goes to bed and we separate to our own TVs/internet/books. It works for us.

JaysonandKristin · September 2011

We talk quite a bit throughout the day. We miss each other, and if he's got time, he'll chat with me for a few.

JAM2000 · September 2011

he'll call me when he's eating lunch and when he's leaving to come home. Thats it, unless something is 'happening' like today when the A/C repairman came out and I called him to let him know that it was fixed and what was wrong with it and how much is cost, etc.

lucylea · September 2011

We IM off and on throughout the day. Just a line or two a half dozen times a day. On the phone we maybe talk twice a week while he is at work. That is usually a quick phone call if one or the other of us hasn't responded to an IM in a while and its something that is important or that we might forget to discuss later.

laney75 · September 2011

My husband works at home so I see him on/off throughout the day. However before May, he worked at an office an hour away. Most days we wouldn't talk on the phone until his commute home. Besides that we'd just email/text/IM. It worked for me. We also had a "no call" policy unless there was an urgent/emergency situation. He'd be in meetings all day and it was hard for him to talk on the phone.

Sharon21 · September 2011

We don't call each other during the day on a regular basis. If I have a question for him or just want his opinion on something (like if I am at the store and see something I think he might want but am not sure) I will call. He calls me occasionally but again only when he wants something. We never talk during the day just to chat or say hello.

DarcyLongfellow · September 2011

Do you mean during the day while he's at work? Do people do that -- call just to chat??

I try not to bother him. We usually email several times a day -- just to check in and say hi, touch base on plans for that night or later in the week, that sort of thing.

But if I call him during the day it's just to ask a quick question -- he's busy while he's there, and I can chat with him after he gets home. I try not to call him, but probably do 2-3 times a week or so.

muddin_lil_sis · September 2011

I typically call DH in the mornings when DS and I get up for the day. DH is aleways gone before we get up. We talk a minute or two; he asks what we have planned for the day, I ask how busy of a day he has. He drives a truck so on long drives, if he is bored, he'll call so I can keep him entertained. I text him pix of DS He'll call on his lunch break and usually once in the afternoon to check on us. And he always calls on his way home. We also play Words with Friends with each other on our andriod phone.

LDQAM516 · September 2011

Not really...if I have a question I just text. If I need an immediate response I will call...which is rare.

rebus82 · September 2011

Normally not at all except a quick call when he leaves work to let me know he's on his way home.

ENI36 · September 2011

Once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Usually for about 10 minutes each time.

axr8111 · September 2011

Maybe once or twice a week but only if we have something to say not just to chat. We do text probably about 3-4/week during working hours. Usually it's me sending him some cute pic of the boys.

kaydee77 · September 2011

We almost never talk on the phone unless one of us has a quick question, but we're more likely to text. DH is busy at work and doesn't really have the time. He usually calls me on his way home though, so I know when to start dinner.

brightning · September 2011

Sometimes I'll call if I'm out and want to know if he needs something, or he'll call for a quick check-in if he's bored or has a suggestion (like to bring in the trash cans because he can see we'll be getting bad weather).

DD always calls him to say goodnight before she goes to sleep. He answers when he can and calls back as soon as possible if he's busy.

I'd say we spend less than 5 minutes a day on the phone together.

Daisy77 · September 2011

Fairly often. He'll call to tell me something funny, something I need to do for a customer, or just chat about an idea he has or maybe he needs a sounding board. I typically call if I have a question I need answer right away but that's about it.

mbritto4 · September 2011

Often just texts, especially if he's OOT stuck in meetings. He tries to call & talk to DD1 nightly so I might get 2 minutes. If I need to vent I often get a call, but usually late.

Temp174496125006552 · September 2011

Sean calls me every day @ 2:00pm to 'check-in'. We usually talk for about 5 minutes. He also calls me when he's leaving work to let me know he's on his way home. Otherwise, I usually don't talk to him unless one of us calls the other to tell them something. We usually email once or twice a day too...usually to relay a quick piece of info or to remind the other about something/to do something.

smitt2619 · September 2011

It varies. Usually at least when he's on his way home. If stuff comes up, we talk.

juliane2004 · September 2011

1-3 times a day, usually 1-2 minutes each. So like 1-6 minutes per day while he's at work.

kcisthebombdotcom · September 2011

You got me beat. We never talk. However, my DH works 9-5 and doesnt take a lunch so he can have the most time with the kids as possible, so it's not like he even takes a break during the day to call.

Once in a blue moon, I'll email DH's work email if I really need to talk to him about something important that cant wait until 5, but otherwise we don't talk at all.

Liz342 · September 2011

Very little. Usually for 5 mins at the end of his lunch. He doesn't have much free time at all though. Occasionally we text but not a lot. I will text him a pic of the kids sometimes. He will text me when he's on his way home. That's about all, lol.
