How many times a day

[disneyquestions]

Do you communicate with your spouse while at work? Meaning, phone calls, txts, emails, etc.

 

[kldmom2000]

I put never (unless there's an emergency).... DH is self-employed in the home improvement/construction field and is always busy, busy, busy.... so unless there's an emergency, he wants to get his work done! LOL!

Well, my DH is a fireman, so he is gone 24hrs at a time. When he is at the Fire Dept, we talk about 4 or 5 times. The conversations are not long though.

On his days off, he has his own landcaping business, we talk maybe 2 times. Just depends if he needs me to go run an errand for him.

I didn't answer the poll since it's not never, but not once a day, either. About once a week I'll call--mostly to coordinate after work plans for dinner etc.

I answered 4-6, but sometimes it's more sometimes less. He's got constant access to email and texts, so we'll send each other stuff. If I ever *need* anything, I call, but that's rare. He has had other jobs where we didn't have any contact, but some like the one he has now, we can.

My DH and I really are best friends so we look for each other all the time. First choice is Googletalk, second is phone, third is cell. We connect in the morning when he gets his breakfast and tell each other what our days look like. We connect again around lunchtime just to say "What's up." Sometimes again in the afternoon and sometimes not, but he always lets me know if he's running late. I usually follow his lead and wait for him to initiate the conversations because I don't want to be disruptive at work for him. If he is very busy he lets me know he has no free time.

If something is wrong, like a personal issue or if if have a migraine or one of the kids is sick the number of communications will go up noticeably.

Most people I know talk with their husband's throughout the day like I do so I think it's pretty normal.

Usually a few times a day, always via email, and never anything overly personal--usually just figuring out dinner, etc. If one or the other of us is really busy, though, not at all until the very end of the day when we coordinate which train to meet on.

 

[mommyof2princesses]

We send emails 2 or 3 times a day. He works on a computer most of the day. Some days I dont get any emails and some days he will call to say hi!

 

[golfgal]

Usually once or twice/day, usually a text message or DH will call toward the end of the day to let me know when he will be home or to see if I need him to get the kids or pick something up at the grocery store.

 

[NMAmy]

It's actually between "never" and "1-3 times a day." We send an email occasionally--today, DH forwarded an email from his brother. I call him after I get home from work to see when he's leaving the office so I can coordinate dinner time. We never call unless it's an emergency of some kind.

 

[mtemm]

it depends. dh mostly works from home and I'm a sahm, so quite often on a regular day! but on days that he is out and about, we usually text a couple of times, or maybe one call (texts are easier/quicker), or rarely if he is super busy I don't hear from him at all till he comes home.

 

[lspst8]

Hardly ever --- it's not never, but less than once a week. His job isn't very welcoming to personal calls (cubicle city and his calls while he's on the phone don't go to voice mail, they bounce to someone else in the office) so I've only called him twice in the year he's worked there. I'll occasionally send a text message, but really, the vast majority of thinks I have to tell him can wiat until I get home from work.

 

[Sgt Mickey]

So many I can't count!!!

BUT not everyday just spending on what is going on.

It is usally texts, emails or work IM.

 

[PixieDustandEeyore]

I usually call during my lunch hour to my fiance to see if he needs anything picked up or if we want to go out anywhere special (sometimes ill grab groceries as my work is by the grocery store) soo i dont want to get groceries for a meal special if he wanted to go out.

Its mostly a coordination thing not a clingy thing. Though sometimes when Im having a bad day its nice to hear a familiar voice

 

[nmmom95]

We text or email more than we talk.

About once a month, and then only if it is urgent and can't wait until after work.
We both have jobs where there are times when we just don't have time to talk. Since we both work in the same industry, different companies, we understand the calls can wait.

 

[staley7580]

Never.. Unless its an emergency. He works in a machine shop, so he wouldnt be able to hear the cell phone if it rang. He has to be paged when I call the shop, and he doesnt hear the page half the time. So I only call if there is an emergency because one of the office ladies has to hunt him down.

 

[locolala]

Only if it's an emergency.. he's at work so I don't think he should be interupted unless it's something serious. He's very busy right now with stuff going on in the world (he's military) so I think that homelife shouldn't interupt unless it's something very important. Plus, the only phone he has acess too at work is his workline, which needs to be left open for work calls.

 

[dislaney]

Somewhere between never and 1-3 times a day. Usually it is just when we need to coordinate or change schedules or some emergency. We do text occasionally just to say hi as it's less intrusive. One day it might be 3 times a day and another day never though!

 

[Angelhalo]

I work in an office 4 hours a day and then come home in the afternoons to do cakes. But, while I'm in the office, we speak on yahoo messenger the whole time I am there.

Our bosses is perfectly fine with it
