How often do you talk to DP through the day?

Light-hearted post, obviously every relationship is different, but: how much do you communicate with your partner throughout the day when you're not together through texts, phone calls etc?

When we're at work we'll often exchange a few messages through the morning then H still wants to call for a chat at lunch. I find this a bit much and am often too busy. It's only 6-7 hours until we'll be sitting eating together! Then we watch tv and don't chat because we already know about each other's days 😆

@etulosba

In one office I worked, there was only one phone between 14 staff. In another, we all had a phone on our desk but outside lines had to be requested through the operator and a valid business related reason for the call had to be given (and was logged).
Quite a few offices we had to dial 9 for an outside line but other than that no problem.

None because I’m in a classroom all day!

Never unless it's a question about something, dinner etc.

Those who talk a lot during the day, do you live together? What on earth do you find to talk about??

About 3 messages: made it to work, how's the day going (at lunch) and on my way home

We don't generally. If DH is going to be late he'll message me or vice versa.

When my husband was alive and we were at home we would talk quite a lot, day and evening, but didn't contact at work unless it was about something important.

We text throughout the day. However? I limit my texts to him when he is at work and he does the same when I am at work.

Very often. Messaging each other all the time.

Yes we live together. Been married 42 years.

We never seem to run out of things to talk about.
