Married Men: Why does my husband do this?

In this economy, be glad he has a job, let alone a company that's still making a profit. Just remind him that you are there for him. Take on some of his stress so that his health stays good.

Here's some books that may help.

He is the boss and he needs to work when he is there. You cannot set rules for your employees and then sit on the phone all day. Not much? Once or twice a day is more than too much. If your husband's employees got that many calls in a day from there wives they would be in trouble. You need to leave him alone and call him for emergencies only. I have called my husband at work two times in 17 years.

He's just not interested in what you have to say. Alot of times the conversation is not as exciting or enthusing as you may feel it is. I feel the same as you husband may. I get tired of my lover calling me up about something that happened at work or home that is just so boring to listen to. And they never call about a problem or trying to set up an agenda. They just call to talk, vent, or share information. Men are problem solvers and adventure seekers. If it's neither nor, I'll see you when I get home.

Gosh! U must have a very happy glowing face on you, because of your hardworking [good provider] husband. Not all wives are fully blessed that way. Some are married to low lifers losers deadbeats that absolutely cannot support them own selves. At least U take extra good care of your husband, because i know some women-wives out there in the real world that absolutely don't know how to take good care of their hardworking husbands.

edit: Buffalo nickel that U are trying to call him just to say "Honey, I love Uuuuu, that's all I wanted to say". My Ultimate favorite is when "Its time for the quickie", then I pretty much drop everything, just for that.

A lot of men gain their personal identity through their career. His career is obviously important to him. Save your calls for life-and-death situations and stop calling him at work! I'm the same way with my fiance. It's not that I don't love him or want to talk to him, but we both work and his job has a much more relaxed pace than mine. Also, be happy you have a husband who holds down a job and isn't a deadbeat...a lot of women aren't so fortunate.

Are you willing to pay his going rate to have him talk to you on company time? If you're at home with the kids, THAT IS YOUR JOB. Marriage is a partnership and all I see is him working away from the house to bring home the money, and you wanting him to do your job at home dealing with the kids. Pick up your end and leave the working man alone.

He is working!!!

Most people I know, don't take personal calls at work. I wouldn't take it personally.

***So what if he is the boss? If my boss was taking personal calls all day long, I would definitely lose respect for him, my husband is a store manager for a large retail chain, he refrains from taking personal calls as an example to those who work below him.

I do not think that he means to do it it is just that when he is at work he is just focused on what ever line of work that he is in and he might feel like what ever you called him for can be discussed at home after work. Not to say that what ever you had to say is not important it is but at the time so is work.

Read your question out loud to yourself. The man is at work, he takes call from clients and spends time talking to them. They are clients, clients mean money. Money pays bills. Stop calling him at work unless it is absolutely necessary, wait until he gets home to discuss things that can wait. Stop calling him at work and bothering him, allow him to do his job.

you can call during the lunch break

he is busy working and doesn't have much time to talk on the phone

clients are the ones that give him busines
