To ask if you call your DH everyday when you get off work?

[Justcurious1]

A colleague of mine phones her DH everyday as soon as she gets off work, literally as soon as she gets out of the door. We get off at the same time everyday, and she phones him aswell in her lunch break. I know it's none of my business, but I'm just curious how many of you do this? And if it's a done thing and I'm the odd one out? I sometimes wonder why she doesn't just go home without calling?

No we don't phone each other, unless it's important or too lengthy to explain in a text.

We do text each other several times in a day. And if I don't get a text back within 3-5 hours I do text again to see if all is ok, I do worry as he works long hours and commutes etc

DH and I talk briefly daily, sometimes more than once a day. We both work full time in jobs that aren't fixed 9 to 5 type roles where we're always in one place, we have two primary school dc and various other things going on in our lives so it's actually pretty handy to be able to communicate through the day.

Our conversations can are a mix of work (different roles in the same industry) and the usual family life stuff. Not exactly fascinating to others I'm sure but it's just part and parcel of juggling work, family, social life etc.

Quite a few posters seem to really need to frame this as something negative and odd. I think it's odd to be proud of not giving a toss whether you hear from your partner from one day to the next ! Maybe for some of us this type of regular contact helps us to keep all the plates spinning, is a way of supporting each other and generally helps oil the wheels of our relationships.

@ImNotHappyaboutitPauline I totally agree with you. I really do not understand the level of negativity being shown about being in contact with your partner during the day?

My DH is my closest friend and my confidant. I tell him everything and if I want to quickly speak to him at lunchtime then so what?

I can't imagine being in the sort of relationship where I have to think before I call or text him or wonder if it's too much!

No, but it wouldn't be any point as he we ould be stood next to be in an area with lousy signal.

I met my dh in the office. We work in different rooms, but meet for lunch some days. I also go to his room to make tea each afternoon. I don't use enough milk to buy my own, so Skype to tell him I am coming round to get a cuppa in the afternoon.
