How much do you communicate during the day? When we were dating, my husband and I texted off and on throughout the day. Now we leave either Facebook chat or Yahoo chat up all day at our offices, and chat thoughout the day. It's weird today for me because he's golfing, so I can't just chat with him. I could text him, but we tend not to text when he's golfing unless something is urgent.
However, unless there is something that comes up that is fairly urgent or too complicated for chat, we almost never talk on the phone during the day. I have no idea why chat is the preferred medium.
Do you talk to your SO a lot during the day? I know I'm the only one in my office that does and they think it's a bit odd...but we both miss it when we don't.
We talked about 3 times a day. Once around 8:30ish, at lunch and then around 4ish. BUt we also shoot each other quick little emails too if we're not too busy.
We use google chat, it's the only thing not blocked at work. Before that I would use MSN on my phone. I usually call him when something comes up thats "urgent".
While we are at work, usually just one quick phone call a day to say hi - more lately, since there are lots of wedding details to discuss. I don't see it really changing much after we are married...
All chat programs are blocked at my office. We live together so I see him morning and night. And I usually call him, or he calls me at least once during the day. Then some back and forth e-mails/texts.
Before FI got a new job we'd text throughout the day. But now we'll text each other good morning and a few(2 or 3 times) throughout the day. If he's not busy he'll call me during lunch just to see how my day is going. And then whoever gets off work first calls the other.
EDIT: We were long distance for a long time so we're use to talking ALL the time lol
We text ALL the time. It's really unusual for us to not share around 7-8 texts throughout the day. And one of us usually phones around lunch just to make sure we're both ok (especially when we were both working really stressful jobs - I'm not working at the moment so it's become less of the norm but we still try to do it). And as a matter of habit I always phone if I go out to run errands/meet friends whilst he's working so he knows that nobody is home.
My fiance actually leaves for work before I even get up. I try not to call him during the day because he works in traffic. I miss him all day but it's fun to catch up in the afternoon
my fiance and i work 9-10 hour days, and we talk to each other maybe once, if it's important and/or time sensitive (i.e. have you booked the honeymoon yet?! lol). we'll talk on the phone maybe 2-3 times throughout the whole week (while we're at work, of course. we talk a whole lot once we get home and in the morning before going to work, lol.). if i have a question (that isn't so urgent) or would like to share an interesting article or something, i'll email him (and vice versa). that happens about once every day or two as well. maybe if we could chat via instant messages we would, but those IM services aren't allowed on my work computer, boo.
We'll send a facebook message or call if there is something that needs to be discussed specifically. Otherwise we don't usually talk at all during the day.
We live together and drive to work together for about half of the week, so we spend plenty or time together/talking when we aren't working.
Umm.... FI and I never talk/text during the day. We live together, so we see eachother in the morning and evening. Also, we will usually call eachother on our way home (don't know why!). However, I think our lack of daily communication is because we are too busy actually working and not sitting at our computers... we are both teachers, so it is rare to have time to text or talk online.
We don't communicate much. If we have a question about something we might send a message. But he doesn't usually have his cell on him @ work so it's usually just when we wake up in the morning we see each other andthen we see or talk to each other after work. We live together so we get enough of one another... lol we're not really smoochy smoochy types...
We talk on the phone several times during the day. I work from home and he's his own boss too, so it's not that hard to do. He's always driving from one courthouse to another and chatting helps kill the boredom of the drive.
He'll also send me facebook messages sometimes of things he comes across during the day that are funny or cute that he thinks I'd like to look at.
@Neva: Like you guys, we don't really talk/text when he's golfing. That's man time! He'll usually call me at the turn to tell me he's halfway done and what time he thinks he'll be home :)
The nature of FI's work doesn't allow him to take calls and texts for hours at a time. He'll usually text me during his lunch break (which is anywhere from 11am to 2pm, usually) and ask how I'm doing. After that, I don't hear from him until he's leaving work (another text), and then when he's off the train and driving back to the house (call - handsfree, no worries!)
He leaves early in the morning and gets home rather late in the evening, so we really don't do much conversing except on weekends. lol Sad, but true. Neither of us really realized that until one of our counseling sessiosn, where we took a quiz... and one of the questions was, "How much time will you spend together in an average week, excluding weekends and sleeping?" After doing some quick mental math, we realized we only spend about 6-10 hours a week together!
For us its usually one or two quick phone calls or texts during the day.
It depends on the day. Some days we'll email back and forth quite a bit (usually a line or two at a time), and some days we'll go the entire day without talking. It just depends how busy we both are at work.
We usually talk on the phone about twice a day during work, usually he calls when he is having lunch and then we talk before 5 about when we each plan on leaving work/what to do for dinner/etc. We email back and forth too, but stupid little things, or links that we think the other would appreciate. We used to work together (that's how we met) and really spent an obscene amount of time together because of that. Now it's nice to come home and be able to tell each other about our days without already knowing everything.
We text and skype pretty much all day long... We always have really. Even when I was unemployed and I was just downstairs and he was upstairs in his home office we would skype all day. But we rarely talk on the phone, unless FI is out of town on business or something.
We email back and forth a few times during work, and I'll text him if I want to tell him something that's not work-appropriate. I only call if I need an immediate answer.
We talk one or two times depending on our schedule, and sometimes we text.
We were LDR our first year, so we still text/talk as much as possible during the day...even after 2 years of living together. I don't know, it would be weird not to :)
When we were both teaching we'd send SUPER long emails to each other during our differing planning times. Now that he works at the church and is in his office more, I leave my google chat up and talk to him during my planning if I have time. If something important comes up I'll call him during planning, but other than that we don't really talk too much at work.
We use google chat and talk most of the day, but we also work together so if we need/want to see each other it is just an elevator ride down.
I work from home and he's not in school right now so....constantly.
FI and I live together. He leaves at 5:15 in the morning though (yuck) so he comes and wakes me up to say goodbye. I always call him for just a couple minutes on my lunch break and we catch up over dinner. We text a couple times in between. Usually "Can you grab milk?" "Zack (our dog) Ate the TP again!" "Miss you!"
Cute cute cute.
Not as much as I'd like :) I work from home and I'm on my computer allll day. So I'm on gchat with my MOH all day and I'd love it if my FI was on too so we could chat more. But alas, he works in a cube in a very big office and that would be frowned upon. Plus he's actually really busy all day so he wouldn't really have time anyways. Most days I send him little emails throughout the day and he responds if he has time. We do live together so I see him every morning, night, and all weekends.... but chatting is fun :)
@CorgiTales: same--I work from home almost all the time, and sit in front of 3 computers all day long (hence why I'm always on WB). I gchat a lot but FI's office frowns on chatting, plus he is legitimately busy all the time (unlike me). I find myself bombarding him with conversation when he gets home though because I'm usually alone all day, whereas he's had a busy day at the office and just wants a little bit of quiet when he gets home. I do like working from home but sometimes it makes me feel like such a hermit.
Hahaha.. we pretty much constantly talk and see each other thoughout the day. We ride in to work together, sit a few offices away, then go home together.
We have google chat up during the day and usually chat off and on throughout the day. We also live together so we have breakfast every morning and dinner every night!
almost every day we send a few (or more) texts back and forth. sometimes we chat for a few minutes if one of us has something to say or if one of us is unusually stressed out. we don't have a set pattern, but that is the norm.
We'll talk a couple of times and text or email a bit depending on the day. Texting and emailing is definitely easier and more discreet than talking on the phone. We've got cubicles at work so I don't have a ton of privacy.
The hubs and I leave Google Chat on all day at work. We're often bored and send each other silly messages, or just talk about stuff we need to do that day.
I'm so glad I'm not alone in this. I find that he often is much more open and tells me a lot more about his thoughts and feelings in an online chat than he does in person...so I love that we chat throughout the day.
I actually talk to my husband more during the day than I do in the evenings at home. We work for the same company although he works from home 4 days a week. We use the internal instant messenger constantly during the day. Like you, if he ever takes a day off and we can't get chat I don't know what to do all day, I get so bored.
We share a car, so he wakes me up in the morning to ride with him to work, come home, get ready for work, text him at lunch to let him know I'm on my way to swap the car, he brings me back to work, and then he picks me up after he gets out. It's a screwy schedule, but it works for us!
Anyway, we typically text throughout the day while we're both at work. Little things like, "I love you!" and "What should we have for dinner?" are sent back and forth a few times a day.
We text a few times throughout the day -- usually we talk about the stock market or what we want to have for supper. We'll call each other maybe once or for emergencies.
My hubby and I email throughout the day. If it's important we'll call, but rarely.
I'm on Google chat with him this very minute. We both typically keep Gmail open throughout the workday, and will send chats to each other whenever we're taking a break. It isn't unusual to go a whole day without chatting, though, if one of us is too busy.
We usually talk once a day, usually towards the end of the day and I let him know if I am going to the gym or if I need him to pick something up from the shops. We send silly emails a few times a week and text as well.
It is silly... I live with him but we cant go the whole time without some contact!
