I have a Blackberry as my cell phone. It is synced to my e-mail so it seems to use my battery faster than other cell phones I have had. (My DH told me that was the case.) I don't know if I am doing something wrong but when I run my battery down to the very lowest point, it has to be recharged to a certain level to "restore connections" which means I cannot just plug into a charger and use that power to use my phone once it is that low. There may be a solution to this problem but I don't know it.
Here is the senario:
I had to go to Wal-Mart which is 10 minutes from my house. Not enough time to charge my phone where it will be of any use. I left my children (8 & 4) at home with my DH. As I am leaving the house I ask my husband if I may borrow his cell phone to run my errands. Every time he or I go to the store, there is some question about "do we have enough milk to get us through the weekend" or "do we need toilet paper" or "I forgot to tell you, I need deodorant." He knows this and does the same thing when he goes to the store while I am at home. I also do not feel comfortable not having a phone, should I have car trouble or should one of my children get hurt and need medical attention in my absense. So I ask him if I can use his phone. He tells me "no". His reason: he only has a little battery left on his phone. But his phone can be used on that little bit of battery and can be charging and used at the same time. I told him I did not care and that I wanted to use it anyway. My thought is I don't care what the battery level on his phone is........he should allow me to use the phone regardless for as long as I can get it to work. I expressed this to him and he still told me "No." He is not territorial over his things. I can't think of anything else of his that he would have not let me use. Except his laptop which is a work laptop. ( BTW: I also have no access to his e-mail and he pays the phone bill. Therefore, he has access to every number I call and my e-mail account.) We, I THOUGHT, are not secretive people.
Let me clarify: this is not a work phone. He is not on call for his job nor is he awaiting an important call today. He came across as very adament that I not use his phone and the only reason he gave me was his low battery. Can anyone give me a reason why he would respond that way that does not seem shady or devious?

You and I are on the same page.
