DH is annoying me

DH never answers the phone. out of lets say 100 calls he answers about 10. he either forgets his phone, battery is dead, doesnt hear it, or just doesnt feel like answering cause he is 'busy'
soooooo annoying!
the worst is when I either really need to talk to him because I'm upset or need to tell him something important and he just doesnt pick up. if I dont answer my phone once he freaks out and starts grilling me why I didnt answer it. w t f????
I am so annoyed that I am about to kill him figuratively and literally

I feel your pain! when DH is out and I decide to stay home, if I call him or text him (when I say out I mean at his parents house or sisters house, not a bar) he doesn't pick up. BUT if I'm out, or even home and dont' answer, he FREAKS! I just text him now which doesn't always get a response.

I totally hear you - DH is HORRIBLE with his phone.

And it's always when I really need something. Example: Stuck in Penn when the LIRR is down and I need a ride home from a different station. That's when he is M*I*A and doesn't answer.

DH is terrible with answering his phone to the point that his family has started calling me instead of him. Usually if I need him immediately I'll either text him or email him that it's an emergency and he needs to call me asap.

does Mike answer the emails or txts? DH usually doesnt. so it becomes total one way communication which drives me insane!

DH used to do that to me ... it'd be extra-annoying because he'd pick up on the first ring when his friends would call ... but he'd ignore my calls.

i told him that he needs to pick up if i'm calling - no excuses. then i made him feel guilty by saying that if i got into a bad accident or something and only had energy to make one call, i would call him ... and what would happen if he didn't pick up? i might die! i know it's overly dramatic, but it's a possible scenario (hopefully not!)

so yeah, he picks up now

UGH! DH is bad, too. I hate that! What if it was an ACTUAL emergency?

Now, the ILs call my phone constantly to get in touch with DH. I'm sorry, but I'm not his secretary and I will not be answering and taking messages. I get enough of that at work. Trust me, he's well aware that you called 4 times in the past half an hour.

Only when I actually say 'it's an emergency, call me asap.' Otherwise, nope.

My MIL used to do this ALL THE TIME! I stopped picking up when she calls. Then when I would get a VM, I go sit next to DH and tell him 'You're mother called. To speak to you. I am not your sectretary and will not take your messages. Tell your mom or I will.'

He spoke to her, she did it again. I told my MIL 'call Franky'. When she said 'I did'. I told her 'then call again or leave a message or text him. He'll call you back when he's ready.'

Yeah, she doesn't really call me for him anymore, she just calls me to shot the sh*t now but with premission from DH, I don't have to pick up, because he doesn't pick up when she calls.

Oh yeah, I've said it a thousand times. Now everytime I see them they make a comment about how I'm just as bad with my cell phone as Dan is. I quietly reply 'No, I'm well aware of your call, I'm also well aware that you are calling for Dan and I just won't answer.' Same thing goes when my SIL or BIL calls. I am NOT Dan's mom, secretary, keeper, etc. If he doesn't answer his phone, it's not MY fault. I'm a receptionist/admin. assistant- that's what I do all day everyday at work... I'm certainly not about to do it at home! The comments about my cell phone etiquette really grind my gears though!

ETIQUETTE?!?!?! Last time I checked it wasn't etiquette to call the wife because the husband didn't pick up! I feel your pain and hear you loud and clean JILL! HERE HERE to not picking up when in-laws call! They can leave a message.
