I want YOUR thoughts on this

[SaraSmith11]

My significant other (“S.O.”) and I occasionally have problems communicating. An issue popped up recently and I was hoping to get your thoughts.
I called my S.O. on Friday afternoon an hour before I got off work. They informed me they were going to go golfing with their sibling and I was welcome to join. I politely declined as I was in the midst of work.
An hour later, I realized my temporary workplace was close to the golf driving range and gave my S.O. a call as I wanted to stop by. No answer, no big deal as I was still wrapping up at work. I called a few more times before taking off about 30 minutes later. I sent a quick text “What driving range did you go to?”

About 15 minutes later my S.O. went to their golfing bag and noticed my missed calls and text message.

What would be the BEST response in this situation, a callback, or a text?

To be clear, this is not a huge issue, but I want to get your opinion on what the best method would be for communication here. Please either write in, a call back or text. Thanks so much!

A text IMO. He didn't know that you was close by and presumably he was busy golfing so could have fired a quick text telling you which range and carried on.

I would have text.

Text

I wouldn't expect either if I declined the offer, would leave them to it, a quick text would of been nice if they noticed but definitely wouldn't expect a call.

Text

I would have texted back the answer t on your question

I would have text too

Definitely only a text. He/she was in the middle of an activity so I wouldn’t expect more than that.

A text? I don't see how this is a big deal.

If your OP is an example of how you communicate, my feedback would be it's too cryptic, lacks definition and you could therefore be misunderstood.

A text to answer the question

Text

Total non issue.

Possibly neither as you’d said you couldn’t come so I’d have thought the reply could wait. Unless I had a few minutes spare, then I’d text.

A text. If there has been multiple missed calls it no message then I probably would have called. But the text message showed that it wasn’t an emergency.

Struggle to see how this is an issue.

It wouldn't matter to me. I am assuming this is part of a bigger picture?

Why is this even a question? It's ridiculous and immature FGS. If these thoughts are relevant to your relationship, it isn't going to work.

Text, in case you were driving home by then. I never phone people if I think they might be driving.

A text to answer your question.

I would have text. I wouldn't care either way how someone communicated with me though.

I would reply to a text/missed call/voice message with a text, especially if it's something like this that has time expired. Especially if about to be on way home at that point, as you can talk at that point.

Text probably? Depends what was convenient for me or if I thought you could be driving.

Please tell me you're not actually having a fight over whether he should have called or texted

Is the OP Del Boy?

I would text, but if there were a lot of missed calls I would panic something was wrong and immediately ring back.

Whatever. It's an absolute non-issue.

I assume you have bigger issues though.

I might call, text or just think, "I'll tell him later".

And they/them OPs are annoying.

I'm going to go against the general opinion and say in this particular instance a quick call would be best.

But that's assuming a couple of things-

1. If you're driving, therefore can't pick up a text.
2. It's more immediate (assuming no.1) so if your SO still wanted you to join them, you could.
