We only talk on the phone when he's on his way home from work. But we talk off and on all day via IM. I'll leave him messages when I sit for a few in between doing stuff and he does the same. If he has time to respond, he will otherwise, we'll just talk about it on his ride home.

He rarely has enough time to call me while he is at work. If he does, it usually is a quick call just to say he got held over or is doing OT. Plus the phone he usually to call is falling apart so I can barely hear him and he cuts in and out.
We don't text either since phones aren't allowed. Needs to be kept in the car at all times.
ETA- He can't receive personal phone calls so I only when it's an emergency. I think I have called maybe 5 or 6 times in the 10 years he has been there.

Phone is usually once a day. He tends to call me when he's on his way home. Text varies but usually 1-6 times per day depending on what we're discussing.
I used to know a woman that would talk to her dh 2-3 times during a one day crop.

Never at work. We were both teachers and not only were phones a no-no, but I would not have had time to chat. If something was really important, a text might happen. Now we are both retired and talk more in a week than we used to in a month. He seems to be a nice guy.

We text at least once a day. Sometimes, it's just a hi at lunch. Sometimes it's a conversation.
A friend of mine ex used to call her multiple times anytime we got together. He was very controlling. It had gotten to a point where I couldn't do anything with her without him.

We usually speak once a day, and text once or twice as well, although not every day. He has also been emailing me recently - usually emails about DS's football or cricket matches, or if he's found some nice floorboards (we're going to be doing some renovations soon).

Several times during the day, by text, unless it is important, or time sensitive.

Very rarely unless it's an emergency. On the odd occasion I have text if I needed him to pick something up on his way home or there is a change of plan that involves the children's after school activities but that doesn't happen very often.

Rarely. I see him before I leave at 6:45, I'm home by 1:30 unless I have an errand. I have a 7 minute commute. He's retired from a job working for someone else, but he takes care of our farm, cattle and hay crop, so he is busy. He doesn't have (doesn't want) a cell so obviously doesn't text. He will call my cell at work occasionally if he is going somewhere and wants me to come straight home from work to go with him.

Dh telecommutes most of the time. So, we talk frequently when he comes out to get tea or just take a break to stretch. When he's in the actual company office we IM on and off throughout the day. We're those weirdos who really like being together a lot.

We usually don't call or text at all. He works midnights and gets home shortly afte I leave at 8:00am and is just waking up when I get home at 4:15. If nothing is out for dinner and the weekly menu isn't on the fridge he may call in the morning to see if I want him to take something out.

We talk as he drives to work in the morning and as he drives home at the end of the day. We text during the day if something comes up. A phone call during the day is rare and is usually preceded by a text asking, "Can you talk?"
We also stop and talk for a bit as soon as he gets home each day. Ha! We talk a lot, I guess. We must have a LOT to say.

I'm a stay at home mom and he works from home, so there's no need to text or call if we need to speak to one another. That being said, he spends most of the day in his office in the room over our garage, so sometimes I do text him if I need to tell him something and I'm feeling extra lazy.

Gosh it really depends. If he is doing undercover work, drug raids or has like a big call such as a homicide I won't hear from him at all. If it's just him on patrol then we text often...sometimes call.

On the phone...never. I don't even see him 5 days out of the week because we have such opposite Work schedules.
We text 3-4 times a day.

We are I both retired so we talk off and on all day long. I do laugh sometimes when he texts me from his shop with some little question.

Never unless it's an emergency. He doesn't like being disturbed at work. He also doesn't text. At all.

I work and dh is retired. I call when I arrive at work to let him know I'm there and safe...he worries! It's usually less than one minute. I text him once a day maybe when I'm on lunch. If we need to actually communicate about something important he'll call me instead of texting. I call when I leave work and we chat for anywhere from 3-15 minutes while I'm driving (yes, I use Bluetooth).

He works 5 min. from home so he is home for lunch every day. So unless we need to ask the other an important question we just talk at lunch. When he is out of town for work, we speak every day or every other day. This is us exactly. I see him at lunch and otherwise don't bother him unless it's important.

Hubby has a trainee, so we try to touch base once a day. That's the norm...unless I need something and vice versa. I think I would just be home chewing my fingers to the nub every day if my husband was a cop. Once a day would not be enough.

Probably we talk on the phone once a day on average--more if he's traveling. He texted me today--and he's not a texter--to tell me he was sitting in a boring meeting. So the meeting must have been REALLY boring for him to text.

We don't usually talk during the day (or text) unless we have a specific question. Although my husband did call me the other day on his lunch break just to say he loved me. He usually does call me at the end of his work day just to let me know he's coming home, which is a holdover from his last job when he left the office at a different time every day,

Once at his lunch hour
Once at the end of his day to let me know he is on his way home.

I work days, he works splits. I am gone before he is up and he doesn't get home until after I go to bed. We rarely talk or text. I usually try to talk for a minute or two in the middle of the night when I have to pee, LOL.

Sometimes many times a day sometimes none at all. He contacts me more. I'd say 90% is about work though. We own a company together and I do all the bookwork so he's calling to ask about invoices or whatever. If we didn't work together it wouldn't be often.

My husband calls me at least twice a day. He works out of town at least 10-12 hours a day. He is a freight haul driver and can't be on the phone while driving, so he calls me when he is in line to load/unload his trailer.
