 244  |  Subject: How many times a day do you call/talk to SO when at work?Just wondering. I feel like I'm bugging DH if I call more than once a day. I never call to just talk though, usually its to talk about the kids (whos picking up who from what etc). |

Extreme Veteran 861  Northbridge, Massachusetts | Subject: RE: How many times a day do you call/talk to SO when at work? Maybe once a month. If it is about my son, I will usually text/e-mail. DH has had to get used to the fact that I am not a phone person and I am more often in meetings that make texting and e-mail a better alternative. |

Pro 6767 the Alabama part of Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: How many times a day do you call/talk to SO when at work? Very rarely. Even when the kids were young, unless there was an urgent change in plans (e.g. kid got sick at school), we pretty much never communicate during the day. When we do, it is usually by text, since it is more succinct and efficient overall, without interupting either of our work flow. |

Elite 4372 Connecticut | Subject: RE: How many times a day do you call/talk to SO when at work? None. In the last 11 years, I have called Bry twice while he was at work. Once was when our son was hit by a car and the other was another emergency involving being locked out of my car in the winter with the kids. But, my husband is in the Navy and calling to chat isn't something that is looked highly upon. If I need something, I'll text. That way if he's busy, he can ignore it until he has a minute to reply. |

Pro 4089 Without house | Subject: RE: How many times a day do you call/talk to SO when at work? Rarely...normally I'll just email him. I only call him if he or I need an immediate answer on something (well, I've also been known to call him if I find out some exciting news.) |

Expert 2189 Dodge County, MN (out in the corn) | Subject: RE: How many times a day do you call/talk to SO when at work? Once a day to coordinate when I'm picking him up from work; we carpool. Each conversation is probably less than 30 seconds long. |

Pro 4277 Parker, CO | Subject: RE: How many times a day do you call/talk to SO when at work? it really is all over the place. most of the time not at all...sometimes 3 or 4 times if we are trying to plan something. Usually those 3 or 4 times come in a period of about 30-minutes.  |

Master 1862 San Mateo, CA | Subject: RE: How many times a day do you call/talk to SO when at work? Rarely. Occasionally, we'll e-mail each other, though. We're not really into the whole text messaging situation, either. On any given month, I receive ~500 voice messages at work. Therefore, I'm pretty burned out on using phones, and keep my personal phone use to a minimum. |

Expert 944 Waller County, TX | Subject: RE: How many times a day do you call/talk to SO when at work? Unless it's burning or bleeding, my wife does not call me at work. If she does, her first question is, "can you talk?" Now that the kids are grown and gone, we exchange a text or email to coordinate things. |

Elite 3972 Reno | Subject: RE: How many times a day do you call/talk to SO when at work? Probably twice a day. short calls, usually at lunchtime or near end of day. Usually just confirming who is sexier (he), or when he is coming home. He is usually out of town. We don't text. |

Champion 5868 Urbandale, IA | Subject: RE: How many times a day do you call/talk to SO when at work? Almost exclusively text/email. We both spend a lot of time in meetings. Just easier to answer as able. |

 Bronze member | Subject: RE: How many times a day do you call/talk to SO when at work? My DH's cell service is awful so it's easier to just send an email. I hate to call his office and bother the secretary and his cell service is terrible. I probably email him about every other day about something though. |

Champion 5495 Whizzzzzlandia Silver member | Subject: RE: How many times a day do you call/talk to SO when at work? More text or email than calling. Calling once in awhile, but not that much. He's in meetings and I'm on the phone all day... so eMail is a better alternative. If something needs an immediate answer, I'll usually send a text. Sometimes I'll call him just to chat on the ride home from work... But I'm not a big "chatter" really. |

Pro 4824 Houston | Subject: RE: How many times a day do you call/talk to SO when at work? Usually once at work and once when he is on his way home (long commute) but not always at work. It is very rare not to talk to him during his commute but it does happen when he gets work calls. |

Extreme Veteran 622 Fulton | Subject: RE: How many times a day do you call/talk to SO when at work? Quite a few times, but his office is right down the hall. If it's not really important we just IM each other because we don't want to be spending too much time in each other's offices, legit or not, because it could look bad. We get to eat lunch together almost every day. |

Pro 4909 Hailey, ID | Subject: RE: How many times a day do you call/talk to SO when at work? I love my wife to death, but she calls me ALL the time. It's something I just deal with even though it bugs the heck out of me. Doesn't matter if she knows I'm with a client, she'll call to ask me about something that could easily wait until later. She gets it from her family though. We've been married almost eight years and her parents still call her 2-5+ times a day! Sigh. |

| On your right | Subject: RE: How many times a day do you call/talk to SO when at work? I usually call Mrs C once or twice per day while she's at work. Usually once in the AM to determine what she might want for dinner, and then once in the late afternoon to see when she will be leaving work so I know when to start making dinner. When I'm at work and she's home, I try to call her once before she goes to bed. |

| Elite 4583 | Subject: RE: How many times a day do you call/talk to SO when at work? In the car on the way to work, dozens of times before 8:30am, every 80 minutes after that, every lunch break and during prep/PLC time. Our classrooms are right across the hall from each other and we're team teachers...pretty much together 24/7--unless I'm swimming, biking or running! Wouldn't have it any other way. |

| Pro 4189 Pittsburgh, my heart is in Glasgow | Subject: RE: How many times a day do you call/talk to SO when at work? We'll call maybe once or twice a day, depending on what's going on. He usually likes me to call before I head out for my run and after I get back just to make sure I'm not in a diabetic heap somewhere, or I'll send a text. We do text or e-mail a lot through the day when I'm at job a, at job b I can't have my phone on me so that waits till breaks when I'll send a text. But this is how our relationship has always been. We both have the same expectation of communication. We like to hear from each other, even if it is mundane things. I think where it becomes a "problem" is if partners have different levels of comfort with these things. |

| Veteran 458 , Wisconsin | Subject: RE: How many times a day do you call/talk to SO when at work? Probably 1-6 times per working day. However, we work in the same profession and at the same practice (at opposite times), so we both call one another frequently to consult on cases. |

She gets it from her family though. We've been married almost eight years and her parents still call her 2-5+ times a day! Sigh. Sounds like my life. We even moved out of the country and her parents still call via Skype all the time. It is obnoxious. I swear, they think she is still only 16 or something, not 27, married, with 2 kids. I am ok with a close knit family, but that is nuts. Cut the umbilical FFS! As it is, she used to call me constantly at work. I finally told her I have a job to do and not to call unless it is important. Now I almost never hear from her via phone, but she does email me now and then which is fine. |
