How much do you & SO contact each other during the day ?

[Lollypop4]

Just that really, a random Q!

I'm a SAHM, my DP works 6-7 days a week (depending how busy he is ) he is often Out 8am, home by 7pm, sometimes much later.(Hospitality Manager).

We message through out the day and he usually calls on way home or if longer hrs, will call once in the day too.

I never really understood why some people call and text their SO so much throughout the day! My stepdad is always calling my mum whenever she comes and visits!! My husband's brothers (they work together) is constantly getting calls and texts from his wife. Why can't people go a day without being in contact.

I completely understand those who work all day and everyday. But those who work 9-5 5 days a week I don't get.

Only if there is something important that needs to be communicated. I'm busy at work, and it would drive me mad if DH kept texting me all day for no good reason!

[Bluntness100]

Only when on the way home to say what time back at, past that not at all unless something relevant to discuss that could not wait.

We have a slightly annoying our family joke where he messages me every god damn day asking what's for tea and I reply with the most random thing I can think of. Sawdust and nails.

Other than that nothing, unless a problem.

DH and I text throughout our days. Always letting the other know if we've reached a destination, and then just if stuff comes up through the day we think the other would be interested in. Usually about the dog! We work different shifts though (he leaves 5.30am, gets home 5.30pm; I leave 1pm and get home 11pm) so it's our main tool of communication!

Unless one of us is away for work, we don't. And then it will be a text or two

[divafever99]

Hardly ever, unless there is some sort of emergency.

[Concestor]

Not at all unless something truly urgent happens and needs a decision from both of us. We wait till we are home to talk. It would drive me mad to get messages while I'm working. Seems quite needy to me.

@Teacaketotty

We are the opposite so I usually work 7-5 and he is at home, I would usually message once in the morning, afternoon and call during lunch and on the way home if I can. So sounds pretty similar, why do you ask?

For reference my mum and stepdad are always texting and calling like all day long and it drives me nuts! They can’t go 30mins without talking..

Just a random Q,
My Ex Dp would very rarely contact ( I was working ft then) when he would go away over night (3x a month) he wouldnt contact then either I think I wouldve liked to know he was atleast safe in getting to gis destination.

My relationship now is different in that we do contact in the day maybe 3/ 4 times via text. its usually a quick " Are you all ok?", Photo of kids or " do we need any shopping " Type messages .

In my last long term relationship we never messaged during working hours unless we needed something specific or it was time sensitive.

When I'm at work I'm in my flow and I don't think to think about home. At lunch I chat and catch up with my colleagues (we eat together). It I have to text I will, but I find it a chore if I'm honest.

[insancerre]

We don’t really, unless it’s really important
I might send him an email on my lunch if I have something to share with him

[Notfeelinggreattoday]

Rarely as my husband would loose his job if he made personal calls or texts other than on lunch

[Sparklyring]

We chat literally all day via text, rarely an hour goes by with some form of contact. Happily married!

Never unless something urgent has happened.. we don't feel the need to constantly text or phone one another whilst out.. I would find it extremely annoying.. happily married 20 years
