My husband is strapped to his cell phone day and night devouring his unlimited minutes while I can handle a prepaid phone rarely ever getting on it all.  Trust he is a professional and relies on his cellular.  But how many of us see the cellular as an excuse to avoid personal relations?

I have a cell phone but rarely use it......I don't see anything "cool" about it. It is convenient for emergencies : that's all.

Not mine I'm afraid, but a friend emailed and told me about this guy that bought an electronic stun-gun for his wife's personal safety. He didn't want to give it to her without being sure it would work when needed so decided to test it on himself.\n\nWhen he finally came to, it was because the spasms of his muscles had eventually jerked the device out of his hand, but he still felt groggy for quite a while\n\nThere was also the person who dropped their cellphone in the toilet. For the 2nd time. Still having trouble keeping a straight face about that one.

Since i've never been unfaithful, i can't speak from experience. But, saying that, my ex-wife was unfaithful to me, alot. I big give away is lack of intimacy. If he doesn't want to touch you, there's something wrong. Strange phone calls that are secretive and at odd times. Does he have a good female "friend" or "mates" he often hangs out with, without you? Can you contact him at ALL times while he's away? Alot of mistrusting females i know check their man's mobile phone for odd calls and texts. Credit card statements for purchases is also a common one. I'm assuming you've talked to him about your concerns and he's denied all. You're still suspicious and don't quite trust him. A private detective could help if you're that concerned. I hope i've helped a little. :)

My best friend also lives about 2 1/2 hours away. We've been best friends since we were 6 years old and we are 26 now. We are on the same cell-phone plan, so we can talk mobil to mobil all the time. I also found that moving away from home changed me. I made new friends, but noone KNEW me the way my best friend does.It will just naturally survive the distance if the friendship is true.

LOL!  Too funny!  Thanks for sharing this, I've emailed it to my brother!\n\nLadies Room Etiquette for the most part it's the same except that talking not only allowed, it's expected - and there's no need to rush as it's a good time to re-do our hair and touch up our make-up, talk on our cell-phones and freshen up a bit.

There's a difference between filling a need and creating a need. When cell phones were first invented, no one really knew what they had been missing without them so there was no need. Now they are everywhere, they are needed because we know what it's like not to have them. A good marketing agent capitalizes on the known market and also tries to make new ones that didn't exist. Neither aspect is lying, it's being proactive and inventive.

Some people just can't talk on the phone.  My husband and I love each other very much and have a wonderful relationship but when he was in Iraq, our phone conversations last about ten minutes on average.  We just aren't phone people.  When he came home, we had alot to catch up on that we just never brought up over the phone.  Don't worry about it so much.

Cell phones and pagers, part of the technological revolution that was supposed to liberate everyone, is tethering people to their jobs to an unprecedented degree, to the point where family life is suffering.\nThe research, by University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee sociologist Noelle Chesley, appears in the December issue of the Journal of Marriage and Family.\n\n\n"The use of cell phones and pagers was linked to increased distress and a decrease in family satisfaction over time," said Chesley, an assistant professor of sociology. "There is clearly a link between using the technology and experiencing increased access."\n\n\nFor the study, Chesley interviewed working couples over two time periods -- from 1998 to 1999 and again from 2000 to 2001. She found that between the interview periods, the use of cell phones and pagers decreased family satisfaction and increased distress and negative work-to-family and family-to-work spillover.\n\n\n"These technologies are linked to negative experiences and feelings from the workplace spilling over into the home," Chesley said. "We are becoming more accessible, which is letting in more of the bad than the good."\n\n\n"Women get kind of a double whammy," she added. "For women, in addition to having a lot of this stuff from work spill over into home life, they get the opposite. There is also a lot of negative stuff from home spilling over into the workplace."\n\n\nChesley thinks that better management of cell phone use is needed to reduce the stress effect she uncovered. Perhaps employers and employees should set limits on reaching each other to allow time for more positive family interaction, she suggested.\n\n\n"The question is, are these technologies helping us or hurting us in our daily life," Chesley asked. "The results of this study indicate that technology may not be so great."\n\n\nOne expert thinks the findings support the idea that cell phones are changing culture -- and not necessarily for the better.\n\n\n"These findings seem to support my intuitions about how cell phones affect our daily lives -- blurring boundaries between work and family life because of increased accessibility," said Tate Kubose, a cognitive scientist at the University of Illinois Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology.\n\n\n"They also support the notion that we should really appreciate our women more, as they seem to shoulder a lot of the burden, even in marriages where both spouses work," he added.

A friend of my secretary did something VERY funny:\n\nHe was on a train with a man who insisted on speaking very loudly on his cellphone. While on the phone, he spoke with his wife, his daughter, and his internet service provider. So, her friend began writing...first, he wrote down the man's wife's name. Then when he called his daughter, he wrote her name down. Then he called his Internet service provider, and in the course of the conversation, the man (loudly) divulged his name, home address, and screen name.\n\nSo a few days later, the man would have received a post card in the mail that said..."Your name is (blank), your wife's name is (blank), your daughter is (blank), and your AOL screen name is (blank). Next time be considerate of others while talking on your cell phone on the train. Have a nice day.

Yes, but they have to be on board aswell.    In college i had a great friend with benifits and we would call each other for booty calls all the time.We were good friends that tried to date, but knew that it could not work, we did however enjoy the physical with each other.   The funny thing is that i would call him over, then make him leave right after and he was totally cool with that.  After i started seeing someone seriously we ended the sexual part but remained friends.  I am now married with a child and he is friends with my husband and i.  My husband knows about the relationship also.  I kept things very open.

Cell phones are a wonderful tool, however, people definitely need to learn cell phone etiquette.\nI wouldn't say it gets me mad, but probably more like mildly irritated.

Spend a week on a deserted island with my husband...no cell phones...no pagers...no children (I love my kids), but we never have alone time and we absolutely adore each other. We have been married 10 years and we have never had a honeymoon. He is a railroader and gone alot, I think he is one of the most sexy men alive and I would love to spend that time with only him!

People these days tend to rely too much on their cell phone and they let it interfere in daily life wayyyy too much.  For instance, I am a nurse, and when I go into a patient's room to discuss something with them or give them discharge instructions - I can't even guess how often the stupid cell phone goes off and suddenly it's the most important thing in the world.  It also tends to mess up social situations (like going off in a restaurant - it's really rude to pick up right there at the table).  It can also be a huge distraction when you're driving - how you ever gone down the road and looked at other drivers as you pass by?  It's amazing how many have a cell phone glued to their ear.

People don't see the use of things.  It was never thought that people would want computers in their house, because the applications hadn't been invented.  And plus computers were as big as a house back then, no one realized they would get smaller.  My mom still doesn't think she needs wireless.  A friend doesn't think she needs a cell phone, even though it is getting really hard to find pay phones to stop at.  People can't see the use of things that haven't happened yet.  You never know what will catch on.

depends....i give clients my cell # but its for business purposes only...if he has another cell for personal use then id say its okay...but if you feel uncomfortable you should say so and if anything happens you should stop seeing him seek counsel elsewhere and report him...and he should NEVER under any circumstances give you his personal address or home phone
