Me & my hubby "talk" all the time. Its just a conversation not an argument & almost 5 years & we have had only 2 fights & 3 loud arguments. You know why, coz we don't keep things inside. Something bothers, you let your spouse know this is what's happening & I am not liking it. Both try to figure out how to make it right & that's it everyone is happy.
It has nothing to do with being married.
The problem here is that woman FAILS to understand what it means to be at work or at lunch. How would you feel if someone keeps calling you when you are trying to have a bite? Not so pleasant. How does being married teach you that? Do you run for the phone when someone calls you at dinner time? No, most people don't.
You and your husband can talk for hours doesn't mean situation is same for everybody. People have different jobs, those jobs have different rules, etc.
Its a meaningless talk... a waste of time. He is at WORK. Someone is PAYING him to be there, its NOT her time so she shouldn't call him and expect to talk for hours. That time belongs to someone else, not her, not him. If that concept is hard to understand and requires a talk, be my guest but I assure you, it will only cause problems because woman is wrong here and when she finds that out it will turn into something ugly.
I agree with you, but not with the "meaningless talk" part. It also depends on the kind of job it is. I can take personal calls at work, but they have to be VERY limited, because I have to get my work done. He can take calls a lot more easily than I can, because he has busy periods and then not so busy periods.
We have had many meaningful conversations when he was at work. Haha! We have even lounged under the sun and read together, while he was working.

If that someone is my hubby. Heck yes I am gonna take that call.
If woman fails to understand then make her understand & how do you do that again. You have a "talk" with her & vice versa. Get my point?

So, she needs a "talk" to be able to understand that her husband is "WORKING" or is "EATING." Such basic concepts require "talking" then who needs such a dumb wife?
Why not take courses in counseling before getting married to handle such a retard? Who needs to have a "talk" every two minutes to be able to understand what is going on?
I am not referring to the work day. I am referring to unpaid lunches. That is not the companies time.
much networking gets done in off work hours or over lunch, during the day the interactions are on specific topics, projects, issues etc, its when you get a chance to spend general time with colleagues is when you build relationships, sometimes its personal relarionship building, sometimes some work topic and really discussing it in depth..
its not a paid lunch, but it is valuable time, refer to a book called 'never eat alone' by keith ferrazzi to get some more insight into that.
I have had some fantastic meetings with my boss over lunch, its unscheduled time, talk about whatever , sometimes he is picking my brain sometimes I am running ideas by him, him introducing me to his peers and others in the company, valuable time, contacts building, relationship building and career advancing. dont underestimate it

An unpaid lunch break is not company time. It is the time provided to a full time employee to provide himself a meal, and take care of other personal unrelated responsibility.
Also people, im sorry if I created the image that these women are constantly calling their husbands. Today she actually called him around 11pm, after not speaking to him all day. Sometimes they are calling 5-10 times through out the day, because they are both busy with their schedule and end up playing phone tag. I'm not 100% sure though, I need to get more details.
If a wife is calling at lunch, its usually regarding something that needs to be done. Like picking up groceries, picking up kids, and whatever other errands married people run.

So, its everyday, and it takes 10 calls to iron out the details and what needs to be done? Calls like that are usually 60-120 seconds and usually take only one call or text.
So, lets say she needs to call him so he can pick up the kids. What is that call like? I mean, what does it include? Does it require powerpoint presentation, a conference call between her, him and where the kids are? A detail route to be taken when going to pick up the kids? A security detail? Perhaps fax of google directions she printed out?
So, she needs a "talk" to be able to understand that her husband is "WORKING" or is "EATING." Such basic concepts require "talking" then who needs such a dumb wife?

This definitely proves you are not married :) And please don't write anything dumber than you already have because I won't be responding to it anymore.

this hardly seems THAT important that it cannot be texted
jaan leva, of course well don't agree with each other all the time but it's nice to be polite and get your message accross. People may try to see your point of view then. Thanks :)
Text messaging is expensive. Many people cannot afford to add SMS packages to their cell phone plans.
email is free
and yes 10 txts a day every day will add up
but a txt a day or two is not going to break the bank
cheaper than counseling and worth the harmony I say
