To talk to a good friend on the phone for 55 minutes.

[RattusRattus]

I am not a phone fiend. I don't do it often. In fact I very rarely do it. DH thinks I'm out of order. He was there throughout the conversation and at no point intimated that I should stop the call.

AIMBU?

whats the point in having a phone if you can't make a phone call?

I dont understand, what it is it to him ?

I don't know. It's not as if we were in the middle of a meal or anything. We were just chatting whilst I was reading the paper and he was on the computer when she rang.

I'd start whipping his cutlery from him halfway through dinner. He's the whole day for eating surely? And drain the bath while he's in it. And hoick him out of bed at 3am. If we're playing that game.

Another 'twat' concluder here

Was he more pissed off at what you were doing or what you weren't? Had you got anything else urgent that needed attention? (I don't mean his undivided attention!!)
Plus if he wanted you he could have said/done something during the call, not moan after!
My dh thinks it's weird how long I can talk to my friends/family but is ok as I don't let it interrupt anything really drastic.

Sounds like he is being unreasonable. He could reasonably be annoyed if you were talking loudly in the same room as him, or if you were both about to do something together and he was left waiting for you for an hour, but neither is the case here.

Maybe he feels that you two are not spending enough time together or communicating well, and that angry came out as jealousy towards your friend?

Or is he a controlling person in general?

*that anger

What did he think you should have been doing instead? Not that it's any of his business! Unless of course you were in the middle of something regarding him...but even then..
