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?

My husband calls me every evening on his way home from work just to say he'll be home shortly, and to ask if there's anything I need him to pick up at the shop. I think it's very sweet of him.

We text a bit throughout the day and one of us calls the other at the end of the day and we have a natter. We like chatting

Rarely call during the day whilst at work or at lunch breaks what’s a lunch break?

I'm in touch with my other half throughout the day when we both get a chance to speak. It's never serious talk just little bits of our day and having a laugh. I like it, he's my favourite person to speak to so I enjoy being in contact with him.

Yes we phone/text multiple time a day. But we have a business together. He works at the place of business and i from home. If he is out with friends i dont call or text unless i really have to and vice versa. But on the odd day we dont have a reason to call or text we still do because we like each other.... and why not? Dont see why it needs to be a problem. Some people like each other enough to contact outside of the home..

I have an ex-colleague whose husband calls her at lunch and around 4pm every day without fail. I think she calls him when she gets off work too. I think it's really sweet.

Some people just enjoy speaking to their partners regularly
Dh usually phones or text me when he has finished work .We love talking to each other

Nope.
My mum is always calling her husband and he calls her when she's with me (v. rare).
How can they think of things to say?

XH - no contact all day and none during evenings if one of us was out.

DH - he rings me on his tea break and on his lunch break and we will text each other if apart in the evening for more than a couple of hours. This is 12 years in. Might seem too much for some - it's how we are and we love it that way.

No but my best friends husband does.

He calls her every break and every lunchtime. He even calls her to keep her upto date and what time the bus will be at his stop.

When she is at work, she has to turn her phone off. He waits until he sees she is active and then calls her.

Hee marriage is a generally good one and he isnt controlling, but it winds her up no end. She loves him but hates the very many pointless calls during the day.

I occasionally call dp from work If i am bored and he is home. I only every phone or text when i am leaving if I need to tell him something like, I am going to be much later tha usual.

Nope. Only person I know who does this has been with her husband since they were about 12 and he periodically leaves her for other women. Then she takes him back and they are loves young dream again 🙂

A women I used to work with did this. She would have to have the same lunch break everyday regardless. She always made phone calls to husband as she left work. We noticed too that she would always called in sick for few weeks in the 6 weeks holidays. Sadly we soon found out why, she was in a abusive relationship. 6 weeks were always the worse as he was home and drinking. Unfortunately after one particularly bad assault she ended up in our workplace and was offered help and support. She left him but sadly returned back to him but never returned to work. Still haunts me to this day.

I always call on the way home. Usually only for a few minutes to say "on my way. When will you be back?" and check plans for the evening/if one of us needs to pick up stuff en route etc. I just thought of it as practical but I guess I do like touching base too.

We love talking to each other

I am sure people who dont do this also love talking to eachother. They just dont do this.

Its each to their own, imo.

My best friend and her husband do this, sometimes it’s if she’s walking to her car etc but most of the time just for a chat. I love my partner but I can’t do constant chit chat!

DH never reads texts or emails so I do call him in the day if I want him to pay attention. Sometimes works....sometimes not!

No! We may only talk for 30 seconds day if he is away.

Hi love, still alive
Great talk to you tomorrow

Colleague speaks to his wife every single lunch time, usually in response to her texting and asking what he wants for his dinner :o

I'm in the "only in an emergency" or if something particularly funny or interesting has happened and either of us might text. DH sometimes texts when he's finished work if he's running late or planning to do some exercise or something and will sort out his own dinner.

I have a colleague who speaks to her DH at least once a day on the phone sometimes two or three times. I don't think it's a case of abuse it's just what they do.
I do think it's rather weird but maybe she really likes her DH

We always text/call saying heading home, then that's me home. We both commute, me 1 hour him a bit more depending where he is. its not keeping tags as such just making sure we are ok and safe and we make sure we have dc etc

we also text throughout the day

There’s the family WhatsApp group. It gets used a few times a day so in a way we’re constantly connected and don’t feel the need for calls.
If one of us is away, they phone home at 9pm.
Married for nearly 25 years and adult/teenage DC.

No.. That's very odd IMO. I never call my DH at work. I see him every day when he gets back! So I talk to him then!

It's like a woman I know who calls her mother EVERY DAY... Talks for half an hour. I don't know what she finds to talk about.

Yes. We usually have a few texts throughout the day and I call when I'm leaving work to let him know I'm leaving and when to expect me, and he does the same if out (in case anything happens on the way - though this isn't odd as my family have always done this. If visiting each other we call to let them know we are leaving. Whenever I was out I'd let my mum know when I was on my way home. DP's family does this too) and to see what we'll have for dinner and if anything needs picking up (I pass a few supermarkets).

I usually call DH if he's on a day off when I finish to tell him to stick the kettle on. I sometimes call him in the morning too but that's usually to remind him about something to do with the kids.

No, and he's away Monday - Friday every week with work. We do WhatsApp a few times a day though.

Dh does this so I know when to expect him. We do call and text though several times during the day. Phone calls are generally under 3 minutes. We like to check in.
