How often do you talk to your spouse when he/she's away from you?

My man is stationed in Japan while Im here in Pi. We used to talk 4 to 5 hrs a day and he drop me msgs during his lunch break or when he's about to go to work. I love it but lately when he started his online class, we rarely talk cus the class is too demanding. Just curious on how often do you talk to your spouse? Do I need to msg him everyday or do you think he will get sick of me?How often do you talk to your spouse when he/she's away from you?
When my husband went to Japan for his first time before we got married I would talk to him usually everyday.It was horrible though because the time difference between V.A. and Japan.So I usually stayed up all night talking to him. I kept myself busy by working. I would visit him every 4 months and I would stay in Japan for a month. When we finally got married he ended up extending for 3 years and brought me to Japan.He has been taking Online Classes for awhile now and honestly they give you TONS of homework and on top of that he works from 7-6 so he is usually drained out by the end of the day.But during the weekends we usually have ';HIM AND I'; time and that's when we go out and not worry about homework and work related stuff. If you feel the need to message him everyday then do so. Just remind him how you feel. Maybe you guys can have a ';HIM AND I' day.Just a day that you two can just sit and talk and not worry about work and school. Hows the Philippines? I'm trying to get my husband to go with me and visit there.It has been awhile since I have been there. I've been craving for some kare-kare and Halo Halo.How often do you talk to your spouse when he/she's away from you?
Dont worry if he cant talk a lot for periods of time...things change and he has different duties so his free time will change. Im sure things will change again soon and he will have a little more time so you will talk to him more often again. Theres nothing wrong with sending him a short message everyday to let him kno ur thinking of him. I personally wouldnt be nagging him and messaging him if i know he is busy but a message here and there wont make him sick of you! it will reassure him that youre home thinking of him and supporting him! Give him the time he needs to do what he is there to do but dont shut him out because he doesnt have time to call you all the time..and good luck!
I live in Korea with my husband, but hes an officer and has to stay on base during the week while i reside in my apartment off post. I see him on the weekends. But that time makes more special for us when we do see each other. Its not really how often you talk to him its what you say that matters the most. Our men need encourage words and our prayers. Its the little things that matters.
Ask him how much contact is enough and how much is too much. Then work out some compromise so that you're getting the communication level you need too. Or at least close to it. There is no one right answer to this. On DH's submarine we had wives who emailed multiple times every day and wives who emailed once a week. We had sailors who did the same. As long as both people in the relationship felt that they were getting what they needed from the communication it was right...for that couple.
i wish u was my girlfriend maybe hes busy or something... and maybe hes trying to make a better life 4 the 2 of u.... butim happy 2 c that theres some and i meen some decent girls out there im proud of u sending hm support and im sure hes missing u just like ure missing him.....
we normally talk every day but . . .sometimes the conversation is only 5 minutes and other times much longer.





Give him a little room while he's taking the class.
When my husband was in school we talked at the end of every day to discuss the days events. More than that and U just kind of run out of stuff to talk about.
Well i agree with USMC Wife, duties change so who is to say from day to day %26amp; week to week what the schedule will be like.. He has lots of things to do %26amp; lots on his mind so sometimes you (unfortunately) won't get as much time as you want... As for me i send him a message or two every day just to let him know he is on my mind %26amp; that i miss him.. Sometimes we talk for hours daily, and then others we don't get to talk at all.. I learned that it is very important to just let them know you are there for them.. And if u feel like you are nagging (i know the feeling) just ask him if he gets annoyed when u send the messages. I personally think its kind of a breath of fresh air when in the midst of all that chaos to see a sweet message from the one you care about...





Lol, sometimes i even find myself getting freaked out %26amp; wondering why i haven't heard from him, and if he is ignoring me but obviously its not true.. Seeing as he has lots to do.. Don't think you are the only one.. Trust me you aren't..
If he's preoccupied with online classes, chances are he is not going to have much time or energy to talk to you. He will try though, but you have to understand that you may not get as much attention as you used to in the past.


My husband and I have been away from each other for long extensive periods of time. Most of the time the time difference always caused problems... but we pulled through.


It's helped me to sit back and make a video or two when I got home.. talking to him while I'm cooking or just watching tv.. I'd send him about 3-4 videos a week. When I'd miss him on IM I'd just leave him a message about what went on or a question I may have and I receive an answer right after. The key is to not let the communication fade out. Sometimes sacrifices need to be made.. and this is one of them. Perhaps you should take the same online course so you can be each others' study buddy. It's worked for us.. and he's in Iraq now, due back next week :)
