If my husband ever treated me with that much disrespect that would cause a lot of problems. We don't HAVE to check in with one another but we choose to because it is respectful so that there is no worries or confusion. \n\nGrow up!

I think that you should probably talk to your husband about this.  \n\nIf you are simply talking to other men - your boss, your minister, your banker - that's probably okay.  \n\nIf you have male friends, defining your relationship with those male friends may be someting to talk to your husband about.  By that, I mean that your husband may not appreciate your male friends calling at 2 a.m. to ask if you can pick them up from the bar because they are too drunk to drive home.  Your husband may also not appreciate you being ALONE with another male.\n\nYou definitely shouldn't be intimate with other men - that should go without saying.

I'd get ticked off. I would not answer the phone when they called back. Make them deal with it for a bit. I also wouldn't be the first to call after I was over it.  If your spouse did hang up on you she needs to do a lot more Looking at the question you answered about being someones playful playmate, and providing your contact info. You are sleazy if you are married.

Well do you work in an office?  Are you supposed to be on the phone at work?\n  I work in an office and just about all of my conversations the other people can hear.  I rarely make personal calls from work so it's not a big deal very often.  \n  If you have an office first thing to do is close the door.  If not and you are on more of an open area what you should do is to just tell them that it is just work stuff and really isn't important.\n  If it is personal stuff then that's another issue. When I got personal calls, I always kept them very short and to the point.  I never bring my cell phone to work, and alot of companys frown on people  who do.\n  Being on the other side of this, nothing annoyed me more than when I saw people at work chatting on their cell phones for 20 minutes at time to their wives, girlfriends, ect.  It's just not the time for that.  I have had employees wives call work 5-10 times a night on a constant basis because they had issues at home.  I have even taken it to a point where when they would call I had a conversation with the wife saying . "look James can't talk to you right now, and your constant calling is gonna get him in trouble very soon. Please stop calling here on a nightly basis."

well, I see this from two perspectives-- I am a military man, and I have ALWAYS been faithful to my wife.  But I know that this is quite the exception....From my fellow Marines I know that quite the opposite is the norm. I was a military policeman, and I saw all the hanky-panky "my husband's on deployment"- and my uh, "cousin" is coming over- nonsense as I patrolled the housing areas.  Sadly, I must agree that MOST (Not all!) military men --And an equal number of Delta Whiskeys (dependent wives) are down with OPP- as we said "back in the day"

Well, you'll be better off bringing it up sooner than later. Waiting til the last minute will just result in a big explosive fight that won't help you with your decision at all. Bring it up gently, don't just start in on why you shouldn't have to move closer to him. If a man's ego is threatened by a woman trying to take charge they get all deffensive and closed up. Just mention it really casually at first, so that he's thinking about it, then gently hint around how much more hard it would be for you to leave while still letting him think he's the one who's doing most of the thinking. The main thing is not to make him feel like you're trying to boss him around. I know they're no more superior than us, but just play along and let 'em feel like they are. In the long run it'll help you get your way. :)

No it is not just women.  I think about my wife 24/7.  I even dream about her.  She is on my mind no matter what I do.  She is a stay at home mom.  She does work part time, but for the most part she doesn't work.  Well not true, she works very hard at home taking care of our 3 children and the house.  We are so blessed that she doesn't have to work.  I think about everything she does, day in and day out.  She is my world and I tell every day.  I will even send her text messages during a meeting.  That is how much she stays on my mind.

well when I was engaged to my fiance I went out every saturday and usually did not come back home till like maybe 5 or 6 in the morning.  I went out with my cousin and some of her friends and we went out to the same spot every weekend.  My Fiance did not mind.  I mean its jut like him going to hang with the boys.  They might not go to a club but they are hanging out and sometimes might go to a bar for a drink or something so I dont see anything wrong with it at all.  And no I would not be upset

Sorry:-))) But i am kind of amused...You know, the first thing that men have to learn about women is to give them their space. Hey...if your parting words weren't bitter, there is no cause for alarm. I am sure she'll call..giv her some time. You said she had a boyfriend..well, maybe she is busy..there could be a thousand things you dont know...So dont miss her too much. Try and concentrate on ur GF. I am sure she be in touch shortly.

not really, other than my brother. i lived with my father, and he was too busy playing in his band and chasing women to have time for me and the rest of us that lived with him, much less any friends i had. oh, adult, in that case, he was too busy playing in his band and getting women pregnant and being a part of whatever family he was raising at the time to have time for me, much less my friends.

I am a housewife or whatever you want to call it. I don't really like the term 'stay at home mom' b/c I am a wife, too. I really like that I am a mom don't get me wrong, but I really feel like that term takes away from my identity- I am still a 20's something female who really wants to do things as one, too- not just a mom. I mean I LOVE my daughter (who is 7 and a 1/2) and I raise my 5 year old step son and I have since right when he turned 2, but he wasn't even bottle broke and only said dada and ba ba. His dad was raising him alone and totally babied (is that a word?) him. He still does, but when his dad isn't home, I have taken him light years... I also have a 13 yr old step daughter who comes over every tues. and Every weekend.\n       I agree that we don't get enough credit and when I have to say that to ppl I stay at home, I always feel like I should explain myself even though I don't really feel that way. My husband really figures that since I am home then the house should stay spotless, and always look clean, even though no one in the house closes the shower curtain when they are finished- if they use any products (which they do, all day and night) they stay right on the counter. My husband starts a pile of trash on the kitchen counter instead of putting it in the can --even if it isn't full- then he wonders why the house looks the way it does by the end of his day off and never remembers that when he came in the night before he said 'Wow, the house looks great honey'. The clothes just get thrown on the floor wherever and hangers get thrown on the bed... so no matter how hard I try, the house always looks cluttered, you know , like I never bothered, when it what I do everyday and then also at LEAST one night a week, when noone is home (wed. or every other FRI & SAT) I deep clean for hours with my ipod, and you really can't tell so much of the time. If the dishwasher is empty, ppl will still not put there dishes in it, and I didn't even mention the actual doing of the laundry or that my husband changes 10 times both of his days off AND where a 2x in everything, and always wears an undershirt. We have Big towels and then somehow we accumulated quite a feww smaller towels too, well, my husband will give his son a bath and use a beach towel for the floor instead of one of the small towels, which isn't a great big deal until you multiply 4 x 7 to make at least 28 big towels a week already, so washing more big towels instead of little towels makes no sense. They take up at least 3 times more room each.\n     My step son is enrolled in daycare (he goes from 9- 4:30 and pre school is from 1-4 on wen. and fri.) a cpl days a week and that and that started back in Feb. b/c I was at a breaking point, b/c I was raising him myself, while his mom did nothing for him, never came and got him and I was being fought against in trying to help 2 other ppls' son grow and do things that were appropiate for his age. I love him like he is my own, and have taught him everything, yet he the fact that he wasn't mine was being thrown in my face when I would try and do anything towards helping him become more independent. I left for a couple days and when I came back home, I let my husband keep him there 2 days a week so I could get some piece mind and that way his mom had to pick him up 2 times a week and keep him for a cpl hours til his dad got off work, and I was hoping that the school would tell my husband what was appropriate for his age instead of me. If those things weren't going on he would be home all the time.\n\nSorry, this is soo long, but that was a great Q! b/c I thought I was going crazy!!!!

Because men do not see stay at home moms as working..And feel that if they get up go to work ect then they have the right to not work when they get home...\nYou can do what i did..hehehehe\nWhen my ex did that to me i sent him a bill.\nI put down in order all i did and a charge for that service next to it..ie:\nDishes...$10.00\nlaundry....$30.00\nCook.......&40.00\nect...ect..\nTell him look if you had to have someone to come in and do what i do you would have to pay them..Due to the fact that you cant help me( even it is to take the kids for a bit ) \nthen you will need to pay me for my services..\nIt worked!!!!!

I have Virgin Mobile and no house phone so I talk very little.  About ten minutes every few days to my adult son who is also my best friend.  Everyone else I email except for work.  I'm an on-call employee so I call in once a day, five days a week to see if I'm going out on a job.  That takes about 2 minutes.

If they don't have any kids together, then there is no reason for her to be calling him at all times of the night.  The next time she calls him, you need to let her know that it's unacceptable for her to call him at night and that she needs to call her man, not yours.  You need to let your man know how you feel about that, too.

Your husband took personal time right?  If he did then the XO really can't say anything.  As long as all the paperwork for his request for personal time was put in and he still had some personal time left to take then he should be fine.  Sounds to me like the XO just like trying to throw his weight around.  No, just because you took it up there is not going to get your husband in trouble, because honestly you shouldn't have had to take anything up there.

Call him, instead of waiting for him to call you.\n\nYou women.
