My husband typically does call me from work every single day. Usually he doesn't have anything to say when he calls, he'll just call to ask how my day is going, what the kids are doing, did anything interesting come in the mail, things like that. When he doesn't call I do start to wonder why. I know sometimes he gets busy, but it's not like him to go a whole day without trying to call at least once.

My husband does call me everyday from work, at least once. And, then he calls me on his way home and we usually chat during his whole drive home. If I don't hear from him I know that something is going on that he can't get to a phone, like a VP is in town or they are preparing for the arrival of someone high up in the company. Even then he usually calls me from the bathroom to say I love you and tells me what's going on.

My husband doesn't call me every day, but he usually calls me atleast once or twice a week. I think it depends if someone else is using the phone or not. He only gets a chance to call on his lunch break. So if someone else is on the phone then he doesn't get to call me. We have started having lunch together once a week. I pack up the kids and we go in and get him and then go for lunch.

We do the go out to lunch thing sometimes too, but not once a week. We can't afford it that often. Just me, him, and the 2 little boys can cost $30 at McDonalds!

I think it's sweet that he calls just to see how you are. It's so nice to feel like he's thinking about you when you're not around isn't it?
Mine almost always calls at least once during the day and while I sometimes find it a little annoying I do wonder what's up when I don't get one of those frivolous calls. I imagine he's just busy or there's someone else in the truck with him. Plus sometimes he's out of cell service for most of the day but he still usually calls to say he's leaving the shop, which is a little silly since the shop is only like 5 minutes away but I think it's kinda cute.

Yeah, usually I just find it annoying that he calls all the time. He knows I'm very busy during the day when he's not here. If I'm not wrapped up in my online stuff, then I'm usually cleaning or dealing with a kid crisis. He always asks why I sound like I don't want to talk to him, it's because I'm waiting for him to get to the point because I'd rather he just call for a reason.
Of course today he didn't call until 3pm and I spent the whole day wondering what was wrong because he normally calls before lunch!

Mine also calls at the end of the day to ask if I need anything on his way home. He does that almost everyday, but I don't worry if he doesn't call that time. The only time it matters is when I actually do want him to get something, but normally I call him at work to tell him if it's something important. If it's just a snack or something to munch on, I'll wait and see if he calls me.

I use to call my ex every day at work like on my lunch and I regret it so much. I am not saying don't call your partner but I think you should only call if you have something to say and it can't wait until you get home. I lived with my ex so I would call him so much from work that by the time I got home he already knew how my day was and there wasn't really anything to talk about. We didn't have kids or anything so we really didn't have much communication about anything.

No. We don't talk on the phone much. Whenever we talk we usually talk to each other online. We spend a lot of our time during the day talking and then spending a lot of our time at night talking to each other as well. We do talk to each other occasionally on the phone though.

That is so sweet. My husband and I both work at home so we are together most of the time. He has his office downstairs while I work in a spare bedroom upstairs. If we want to talk, we just holler at each other. LOL

My fiance and I usually talk several times a day, either online or over the phone, but it's a little different than him just being at work. At the present time, I am in Virginia and he is finishing up firefighter training in Wisconsin. So we will be apart for about another month or two. Then we'll be back in Texas. However, if we don't talk to each other during the day, we will be leaving each other messages. It's important to both of us, he is a structural firefighter, I'm a wildland firefighter, so it relieves a bit of the stress that comes from knowing the other is on a fire call, we check in with the other after every incident. That is just our protocol. We also know how important it is to talk to one another every chance we have, and to express our love to each other as well as our families, we both know the dangers and risks associated with our jobs.

I don't get to talk to that special someone everyday, but we assure that we will never cut the cord no matter what happens.. This is quite hard, but since both of us are busy with our work and since we also live at different countries it seems not working.. However, we would always like to think on the positive side rather thinking of the negative ones.. We believe in destiny and we trust each other, and these are just few of things that keeps us stick to each other..

communication is very important to make a relationship successful. my husband is now living on the other part of the globe but we talk to each other on a daily basis. before he used to call on the telephone but now, we've learned to take advantage of the modern technology and the internet to keep the communication open. we go online for an average of 3 hours a day aside from sending more than 10 text messages a day.

Do you need to be call everyday and become a ritual?
I've been calling my wife for 14 years everyday at the end we feel as a ritual, no warm.
If i didn't call because busy with work she will make noise and not happy.
As long as you have something new to talk or feel missing him/her thats OK, but not because a ritual I must call.

No, my husband doesn't call me every day. His hours vary and if they are longer than usual, like they were yesterday, he may not call me. I'd rather not disturb him while he's at work, though if it gets too late I'd definitely call him to make sure he is alright.

Absolutely. Every single day my husband calls me and never forget to do that even if in the middle of the day sometimes he was so busy but he never forgot to call. Even before i could still remember because at that time we were miles and oceans apart. I live in another country and he was working in a very far country. But he did have a 3- weeks vacation at that time every 3 months, and that's ok for me because atleast our situation was far better than the other couples whos wife or husband are working far from them and they are only allowed to have vacation once or twice a year.Everyone knows that it's not an easy situation for a husband and wife to live far from each other especially if the worked assign is a little bit dangerous than normal job. But we did managed to survive in such kind of situation for quite a while because not a single that he never called me in the phone. We don't use computer yet at that time while he was so far, so he paid a lot for the bills every month. Sometimes , i told him that's it's ok for me if he can't call me everyday just to minimize the cost because sometimes he just called me for nothing but for him it's nothing. He always told me that he just wanted to hear the voice of his wife and he is so sweet all the time. Though at the back of my mind i'm worried about the bills that he have to pay at the end of the month but im so happy inside that my husband is like that, very loving , honest , and devoted to his wife.

My boyfriend calls me every day and we will talk for hours and hours sometimes. We've been together for years and I don't think we've ever went a day without talking. :)

You are probably lucky. there are many who say that their partners never bother to call back from their office. Keeping in touch is a good habit and helps a relation to grow. It is a good way to say that 'I care you and I am deeply concerned about you'.
