Do you speak to your other half throughout the day?

Yes all the time we are on Instant Messenger and work and allows outside contact so always have a window open.

it was lovely at the beginning of the relationship when we were still cooey

but now its normally chit chat/whats for dinner/shopping whats happening etc

we should stop as we get home and most of the stuff i would have told him I've already done it ?

Not at all unless it's for a reason like you. I wouldn't dream of calling him 'for a chat' and vice versa.

He has called today - if you've seen my fb he's in the dog house so he's offered to take me for a pub tea tonight.

A couple of texts a day. Normally asking what were doing that night/what's fr dinner etc. I'm not at a computer and am on my feet all say do only really get 15mins for lunch to text him so sometimes we won't text until I'm on the bus home. If its quiet at work I can normally sneak on my phone and check texts/hitched!!

I don't think we text that much even at the start. If you chit chat all day you've not as much to talk about whereas if you're at home you can have a conversation with each other.

I sometimes ring or txt but not everyday.

H and I will text a few times a day if we need to. Sometimes we don't during the day but if I'm on a late shift he'll text to say he's home and will text goodnight if he's going to be in bed when I finish.

We only occasionally call each other though, if we need to. Don't see the need to call often though, what would we talk about at night?

I get the odd lunchtime phone call asking how my day is going, and we'll email one another if we have a question or info for one another etc.

Other than that, we don't really talk during the day.

No not really. Possibly an email at the end of the day to say what train we'll be on, but that's it really.

When we used to work together it was an email to say "See you in the stationery cupboard in 5 mins...." (No, not for that!!)

Not really, he doesnt have a desk job so doesnt really have access to his phone, and our lunch breaks dont match. He usually rings me when he finishes (he starts and finishes before me) to ask me if I need collecting, what if anything were doing that evening st? I would obviously already have told him this but he would have forgotten since waking up!!

When he's on a late, I'll ring him on my lunch break but that's it.

Not very often though. We didn't even speak on the phone until about 3 months into our relationship.

We sometimes speak at lunch time, and the odd text every now and then, but I like to go home and tell him about my day over dinner.

I couldn't stand it if he rung me every day. My ex would ring me every morning, every lunch, after work and then before bed. It drove me insane!!

We text a bit throughout the day, just general chitchat and 'how's your day going' type stuff. Wouldn't call unless there was something important I needed to tell him.

We sent a few texts every day as we both stay in the office over lunch but its just chit chat really.

We email a few times a day, just little 'housekeeping' bits e.g. have you done x, I've done y etc. Occasionally if I'm trying to sort something out I'll ring him quickly.

He pops in for lunch every so often, maybe 2 or 3 times a week. I eat my lunch ridiculously early so I'm always done, but he'll come and perch on my desk to eat his sandwiches.

Normal then!! todays lunchtime convo went like so

H: Hey 'Kins, any chores today?

Me: No

H: None at all?

Me: Nope not that i can think of

H: does that mean my lunchtime is my own?

Me: yep go crazy

H: ok, bye love you *hangs up in a hurry*

We work together so we talk quite a lot, mostly about work stuff, just like we'd talk to any other colleagues, but he will shout over to me every so often e.g. if he's had a text or email from a friend asking him to do something, he'll shout over and ask me what we're doing this weekend.

Today, he's away at our branch office, so I've emailed him to ask him to pick up some bits for dinner on his way home.

Maybe five emails/texts a day if just boring "us" stuff - What time are you leaving? Shall we buy this ladder? etc. More if we have work stuff to discuss though. Never call unless it's home time and I think he might be walking to train.

We talk quite a lot and if he's passing nearby he'll pop in for a bit.

We dont speak on the phone during the day but text each other.

Not usually at all, unless there is a specific reason. Never for just 'a chat'. If one of is working a long day or a weekend or something and the other isn't at work, we might exhange a couple of texts but not much! x

I never speak to him unless one of us has something that's urgent to discuss. He'll text around midday to see how E and I are getting on/what we are up to and then he'll text around 5pm to let me know when he is heading home (if he isn't working away). I'd never call him at work for a chat, he doesn't really have a lunch break either- it's usually a sandwich at his desk or he'll be out eating with clients.

Not really unless we need to, but really I have nothing to say to him during work hours other than can I pack in work yet!!??!! ha ha

We normally text/email each other, but will only call in an emergency/if its something urgent

Not really, I'll normally call him at around 530 to ask when he will be home for dinner and maybe send him an email to remind him about something but never chit chat.

guy that used to sit opposite me at work had phone calls almost hourly from his girlfriend and if he didn't answer his mobile she would ring the desk phone and if someone else picked up hang up without saying anything! So weird,we mocked him about it constantly

Nope. Most of the time that's because i'm in a mood with him though ?

It depends whether I'm at school or not. If I'm working I'll normally text him at lunchtime to let him know how it's going. If I'm home he sometimes rings if he has a free period. We always text/ring to let each other know what time we'll be home.

We sometimes talk on my lunch break if OH is free, as he is a police officer he is sometimes sleeping or too busy at work etc otherwise he rings me when he is free to talk and we talk then briefly.

Usually just texting, and thats usually what I fancy for tea as he usually goes shopping before he collects me from the station. Would only call if it needed some complicated communication that was too much for a text.

I work in an open plan office so wouldnt feel comfortable having loads of phone calls all day.

If I have time at lunch I will text or email if I have something specific but non urgent to ask. If either of us need to ask something quickly then we just call each other but my lunch times switches from week to week so he never knows when he can get hold of me. My lunchtime is for a break and chatting with colleagues, I can talk to OH the whole night once we're home if I want so I don't see the point of lunchtime catch ups! I sometimes call on the way home to find out what he fancies for tea but that's about it.

We text a couple of times each day, normally just asking how the day is going etc. He usually calls me as he's leaving the office so I know when he'll be home roughly.

Barely.

OH is so busy at his job (and not glued to a desk like me) and I'll text or email him stuff that he needs to know, but I never expect to be able to have a convo with him.

Nope. We text if there's anything we need to ask each other, but would only call in an emergency. I can't really ditch my patient to chat to my husband!

We will pretty much never call each other during the day unless there's something urgent to discuss. But it's pretty unlikely that I would be able to answer my phone anyway and if he's only allowed to keep his phone on him if he's in trainging and not on site. Sometimes we'll send each other an email or text if there's something particular to say, for example if he's had an assessment I might text him asking how it went. But most of the time I'm lucky if I have time to eat lunch never mind pick up my phone. Probably the most common text message I'll send will be something along the lines of "I know it's 8pm and I should have been home an hour ago but I've still got a load of stuff to do, I hope you're not waiting for me to eat dinner!" I can't understand calling to chat during the day when you will see each other at home in the evening.

We don't phone each other unless there is a real emergency, but we occasionally text/email each other about what time he's finishing, if there's something he wants me to pick up in Town or do when I get home as I don't work in the afternoon.

When H worked in his last job about 6yrs ago, he absolutely hated it and every lunchtime he would phone me up just so he had someone nice to talk to for 1hr as his colleagues were b!tches.
