How much do you and your dh/dp talk per day? More or less than...

[emkana]

8 minutes a day?
I remember hearing something on the radio when I was much younger that the average couple talks to each other for 8 mins a day. Was horrified at the time, but now not quite so horrified...
Tbh I would talk more if dh wasn't such a caveman who is happiest spending the evening staring into the fire/TV screen...

i see dh for about 20 mins in the morning while i'm getting ds breakfast etc.
maybe a phone call occasionally in the day and a couple of hours at night - during the week.
tell your dh how you feel and what you would like your evenings/freetime to be like, he could be flattered that you want his company!

DH & I text a huge amount during the day. He calls me when on his want into work, while in work and on the way home. We also email each other many times during the day BUT all depends if I have time free when dd is asleep.
Once home we usually have exhaused our conversation !! DH leave home at 5.30am (before dd & I are up) and isn;'t home until 7/8pm.
Well we do sit and talk at night BUT sometimes we are content to watch TV or go on the internet/playstaion together. We are confortable with silences yet I think we do have good conversation. Obviously weekends are completly different....Non stop chat.!!
God we defo speak more than 8 mins aday..Both our phone bills prove that .

We talk constantly. On email, text when not together. Constantly talking about everything under the sun when we are together.

Lots! he calls me from work, we text when not together (Not in a clingy sort of way) we talk over dinner, then after the kids go to bed I boil the kettle, we have a coffee and a chat, then I turn on pc to do some work, he has his laptop, we may be in different rooms, but we msn And I can ping him to make me a cuppa

More than 8 minutes, though he is away a lot at the moment. Not sure that all of it is very interesting. Lots of it's of the "Fancy a cup of tea?" type.

He did ask me to call him in his room in Bucharest last night and we had an unusually long chat about how lonely he was and how nice his taxi driver had been.

Lots

We talk in the morning in grumpy way
Call each other 2 or 3 x in the day
In the evening all the time

We talk lots, though not firsst tihing in the morning as he is always pretty slow then! But we travel to college together so chat then, and we often eat our lunch together and it is great to have the time to chat.
We always talked quite a lot but are really enjoying having more time together now we are at college together - though we dont often sit beside one another in our classes as that would be too much!!

Not much in the morning - too rushed - but quick chat at breakfast.
I always text after I've dropped off dd to tell him how it went.
Then a couple of emails during the day, chat over dinner, talk a lot in the evenings unless we're really knackered in which case we'll maybe just watch a dvd or something.
Adds up to more than 8 mins anyway!

I have been wondering about this too - we have been married 24 years so you could say we must have done something right but most of the conversation tends to be child/arrangements/house orientated. We never talk about us anymore - and I seriously don't know how to start. I wonder how we'll manage when the kids are not around all the time to provide so much to talk about. I feel we're in a big rut but don't really know what to do about it. We get along well enough but he really hasn't got a clue what's going on inside my head and I'm not very good at expressing myself.

we talk a lot but i've only known him a short time

he calls me on his way to work, about 7.30 and we chat for about 15 mins, exchange texts during the day, and speak on the phone as well, then he calls me on his way home from work at 4.30 for about 20 mins
