    Not really, my dh usually can't be reached during the day and doesn't usually even take lunch. He does call me if he is going to be late or if he needs something. He calls me back right away if I have left a message because he knows that I don't just call for anything. He knows that I have work to do and I know that he is busy so we talk when he gets home.

    We used to at my dh's old job. He would call me to tell me he loved me or missed me, or to vent about his crappy day. I would call him for the same reasons.

    Like someone else said, though, I used to HATE it when he would call me at work! LOL.

    Now at his new job, I'm not sure if he's going to have time :( Hoping once he gets into the swing of things that I'll at least hear from him on lunch breaks.

    We do talk at least once during the day. He usually calls to make sure the kids are getting their work done and to see if I am doing okay. I will e-mail if I need something from the store. His company pays for his cell phone so we don't text often since they can track it if they want. The only days we don't talk much is when he is in meetings all day long. If I need to talk to him then, I text a 911 text and he knows to leave the meeting and call me as soon as he can.

    We don't have cell phones so I can't call or text that way. Dh's work doesn't accept calls from home unless its an emergency. He usually calls me once during his shift to see if we need anything from the store or to tell me if he'll be working over. Dh works 3 to 11 so I have all morning to talk to him. (supposedly! haha):D

    We call each other several times a day. Occasionally I'll text him if it's not important and I think he might be busy, then I'll tell him to call me when he gets a chance.

    yep we email quite a bit but mostly because he's out to sea so it's how we 'see' each other. currently we just do one email or two during the day just to say when he's comming home or if something has come up and he'll be home later. I will let him know what I plan for supper so he knows.

    Number of seconds in a minute: 60
    Number of minutes in an hour: 60
    Hence, number of seconds in an hour: 3,600
    Number of waking hours: 16?
    Number of seconds per waking day: 57,600
    Number of text messages you guys send each day: 4,897
    Therefore, frequency of messages: 12 seconds

    Of course, this calculation assumes you keep texting while eating, driving, talking, and the various other things we must do throughout the day.

    Mind you, my youngest son regularly sends 10,000 text messages a month (quoted on the phone bill), and another usually sends over 5,000 - so I shouldn't be ribbing you about this. :)

    I will text or call dh and he calls or texts me too. Usually it's to find out where he is in his schedule for the day, will he be home for dinner, did you pick up any more jobs, can you get X for me... once in a while we'll send something flirty and occasionally he'll vent over a customer.

    We IM when he sees I am on the computer, and sometimes he will text me to tell me something. I only text if I know he is in a meeting and I need to let him know something, otherwise I call.

    We text, email, and facebook throughout the day at random times. It depends. He is on a computer most of the day so it's easy to get a hold of him unless he's in a meeting. Considering he works a full time 9-5 job M-F, goes to school 2 nights a week, AND works part time out of the fire station at night 2-3 nights a week...the only time we sometimes have to chat is through texting, email, etc. It's how we stay connected until he gets a night off, so we don't become 'roommates'. :)

    Mostly, no. Usually only if we have something important to talk about that can't wait until the evening. If we do, it's usually an IM or text.

    Yeah, only if it's something important. My dh is a workaholic and doesn't like to be bothered. We hardly talk at home, either. :(

    My husband usually calls me sometime during the day just to see how things are going. Then he'll call in the evening to see if I need him to bring something home.

    He's not much of an emailer. I'll write him this long message and he'll reply with "OK". Ugh! :)

    My hubs usually calls on his lunch break, which is late since he works overnight. Other than that, we dont text or email, or IM at all. We dont talk much at home either. :(

    Yep, DH will text me occasionally... or IM me from his class if he's giving an exam or something. We talk if he calls but I try not to bug him.

    My Husband calls on his break and at lunch and on his way home from work...... I only call him at work if its super important to get ahold of him. (company policy)....... we do equal amounts of complaining.

    My dh works on his computer most of the day, and my computer is in my kitchen (I always thought having a computer in the kitchen was really weird until we bought this house - now I LOVE it!!), so we IM all day long. Mostly just short sentences here or there, not long conversations. It is very nice to be able to keep in contact with him like that. :)

    It depends on the day. He works a ton but he is always busy...he hardly has a bit of slow time. However, he normally calls when he does. If I need him, I text or call. For the most part I wait until I see him. I hate to admit it but talking on the phone gets on my nerves. lol. Yes, even to him. My day is filled and stopping for a phone call ends up ruining my day. Now, I KNOW I should make exception for his call...and that is why if he does call I talk as long as he wants.
