I'm like that too! My husband works nights so from 4pm-5am I'm home alone with 2 kids (one on the way). So I'm dealing with them, making dinner and trying to relax after the whole day with the baby already being a nut lol. I don't mind texting him but sometimes I just want to relax and watch my show in piece. I don't want to sit on the phone :( I know he's bored and wants to talk, but I'm not s phone talker never have been.
SO issues
So, I'm having an argument with my DH and he starts getting heated at the fact that I hardly call him. I work from 6:30am to 5pm. I have weird days. I can be busy all morning and not do anything in the afternoon, or vice versa. I call thru out the day when I have time. I don't call before I go to work out bc I'm busy getting ready and driving to where I'm going. But yet this ass wants me to call him all the time. Am I the only one that thinks that's unreasonable? He is a truck driver. I get we don't see one another, but having me call all the damn time is making me mad. I don't want to hear his background noise 24/7 (which is loud!) and have nothing to talk about. I call when I can at lunch, some thru out the day, when I get home, right after dinner, then right before bed. To me, that's already a lot. I don't like to talk. I don't want to talk on the phone. I hate it and there is dead air all the time. It's like there was a role reversal since I got pregnant & he became the nagging wife that won't leave me alone. Has anyone else been thru this &/or can anyone please give me advise on how to get thru this before I say something I will regret?

Well, I guess since I'm on the other side...I'm like aweee 😢 he just wants to talk...lol, my other half doesn't like to talk, or just won't talk to me...he's sour!! BUT then again I feel where you're coming from, and if I was working and had him upset over a phone call...I'd be annoyed! Maybe you guys should agree on a good "call time" maybe when you're already home from work and settled in, and maybe when he's at a stop, so that you won't hear all the noise...I use to dispatch for the oil fields, so I know all the noise you speak of! Lol it is annoying...but at night they have downtime...so I'm sure there's a time you both can just catch up :)

I was actually thinking that! Some gain weight, mine just gains my mood swings... Smh.

Yea 😕 I know what you mean...maybe he's having the pregnancy hormones too!! 😂

Thank you. I asked him what times he wants me to call or how many times he wants me to, but then he gets mad at that bc he says "I shouldn't have to schedule time to talk to my wife!" That irritates me so much, but I do understand his frustrations. I just don't want to argue all the time.
So at lunch, after dinner, before bed and at other times? I agree with you that it feels like a lot of time to be on the phone. And does he call you, or does he expect you to do all the teaching out?

He expects me to call all the time & to stay on the phone for longer than 20 minutes each time. I'm not sure what there is to talk about for that long so many times a day.
