Husbands who do not return phone calls

I think this is complete BS. I called him 2x today and he hasn't called me back. Every time he does this he says " I was busy at work". Too busy to say "I'm a little busy can I call you back?" I think it is rude and disrespectful. And what if it was an emergency?!!!

Re: Husbands who do not return phone calls

My DH often is too busy to call me back. It used to annoy me, but I understand it. If it's really an emergency, I will let him know that on his voicemail or via text message and he will definitely make time to return my call.

Re: Husbands who do not return phone calls

I stopped calling DH at work about 2 months after we started dating and now he complains that I never called him. I told him I was sick of the brush off.

Sorry Jen

This bugs me too! I guess men just can't multitask as well as we can.

Re: Husbands who do not return phone calls

I am having the same issue today!!!

Today is MILs birthday. We're taking his parents out to dinner, but as of right now, I still don't know where we're going, because Rich "forgot" to ask her.

So I asked her if he got her something, and he said nope, not even a card. I'm carless today (it's in the shop), so now I'm walking up to Eckerd to get a card from him. (Yes, I already bought a gift, because I knew he wouldn't plan ahead.)

Oh, and no one is making her a b-day cake. I was informed THIS MORNING. Again, I don't have a car, so I'm hoping Eckerd has cake mix!!! He won't call me back - I don't know what kind of cake to make!!!!

Re: Husbands who do not return phone calls

My DH wonders why I never call him anymore. First we are together now -how much can we talk---he calls me about 4 times a day, and if I call him he usually is not at the phone, so why bother...he calls me in the a.m. to make sure i got to work safe, then before lunch then in late afternoon and then maybe later....I ususally do the later call-when he is already home.

Re: Husbands who do not return phone calls

girls....I wish this was my issue....DH calls me all the time...mostly because he is driving and it board....he seems to forget that I usually sleep at 3am.

Re: Husbands who do not return phone calls

What upsets me about my DH is that he is not easily accesible by phone. He flys for the airlines and I have to be lucky and hope is on the ground.

So, my pet peeve is that he doesn't ever check his messages. So I would guess that is the same thing as your DH not returning phone calls except with you....you can leave a vm or text message letting him know that there is an emergency. But, with me.....MY DH doesn't bother to check his messages. He pissses me off!

I don't think this is being rude or disrespectful at all. Its called being busy at work.

Re: Husbands who do not return phone calls

Do you call often?

I hardly every call DH at work, so if I do he usually calls back as soon as he can because he realizes it must somewhat important if I am calling during the day.
