What do you tell to your wife?

jonald
By jonald

What do you tell to your wife when she calls you at work? I kind of irritated sometimes because I don't even have anything to tell her other than...

1. hey how you doing
2. did you eat something before going to work
3. how's work
4. I will be home before 7:00 pm
5. what do you want for dinner

this keeps going and going...Can you please give me any ideas what's the best thing to tell her to make her happy?

uh oh...i hope my man doesnt feel that way deep down inside. heehee.

but were not like u, married and all.

were in a long distance relationship. we call eachother before we go to sleep, when we wake up, and once or twice while at work/during the day (but! since either of us or both of us are busy, we talk for bout 2 mins average just to check up on eachother if everything is okay), skype after work.

for us it dont seem like its on a must to do list or like its something we have to do, but just that we miss and care for each other so dearly that we call each other this much.

QLers, jonald's a man and like most men..hes not very orally expressive or is not very talkative like us women, so bear with him a little if u may.

jonald, u should tell her right away if u miss her. when u feel like she sounds extra sad, tell a white lie and tell her u miss her in some way (eg. "hey, cant wait to see u tonight" or "actually, i want to have lunch with u today" ->say it when u have the perfect excuse not to that u can blame on work load). :)

in general, dont stress on this too much because shes just probably calling u everyday at work to check up on u, like me with my man. :)

so like, the first 20-40secs..wait and listen what she has to say, usually an update of what she did that morning, then briefly say ur status at work (this co worker of urs annoyed u earlier or ure upset coz u have many scheduled meetings this afternoon). once u get bored, u could just say u have to go..u dont have to lie. people dont ask why u have to go on the phone when the other end says, "hey i have to go". ps, put "babe" or ur choice of endearment so shed feel fuzzy and in turn happy even if u had to put the phone earlier than she thought.

tell me what happens ;)

good luck!

be cool with her, tell her that she don't have to call you while you are at work. if she understand, thats lovely but if she don't then just BLASTTTT....

so I am probably repeating something that's already been said but I'll continue anyway ....

jonald, after 11 years of marriage and a few more of actually knowing her, my wife is still my best friend in the world and the person I would most like to talk to during the day.

So if she phones me at work, I would think it's a good day.

We don't discuss world politics, or starving children, or the Iranian nuclear threat; in fact, we pretty much discuss your 5 points above. In other words, we talk 5hite.

But it's our 5hite. And I love it.

This is funny...

now if u are worreid about not knowing what to say to make ur wife happy ur seriously lost man.. just say I love you..

if ur bothered that she called and want her to stop calling.. discuss ur work with her every day.. whine and moan about how much u got to do and how boring it is and how ur boss wont listen to u.. maybe then she'll stop calling ;-) and maybe she will turn out to be interested to listening to you bcz she loves u and wants to share everything and will give u advice.. then u update me and i will tell her to get rid of you as she is too good for you...

Formated Soul.. i'm divorcing you! u havent called me at work andlook at u.. ur on QL ;-( I knew ur cheating on me!!!!! :P

Choose the proper words to make her feel comfortable and to stop her from checking on you like an ICU patient better reassure her with your feelings towards her.

Bring her flowers tonight or some chocolates and sugar coat some heart melting words of love.

That's it!

i forgot to mention she is working, so she is not that bored. while at work she still calls me every 3 hours, i feel like she is checking on me. that thing made me irretated because she tries to listen on the background if there are females talking :( i just want her to be happy, and relax without thinking unimportant things like i am with another co worker or whatever.

i need words to make all her doubts go away. its not healthy for her

oops FS.. I did'nt read the last bit.. To make her happy,,

Well in that case.. Just give her your wallet/credit card..

I am sure she will be happy.. Well it works for me.. Every time the wife comes back after visiting the orthodentist, Hair Saloon, Spa and PS centre I always see her happy.. She has so much to talk to me about her experience..

ask her how she like to spend the day at the mall and spend half of your salary for change. or ask her to give you nice surprises when you get home that will keep her busy.

Pity your wife

By MissX• 8 Apr 2009 12:46
MissX

A few people mentioned it above. If a woman is acting a little needy, then that's a symptom of something else. She is obviously feeling a little ignored in her life. Pay her some extra attention from time to time, and you will find she won't feel the need to call you as often as she does. The more you ignore a woman, and act irritated or uninterested when she calls, the more and more emotionally needy she will become. The neediness is a symptom, of something bigger. Humouring her when she rings, will not fix the problem.

Are u nuts??? I cant imagine answering all those questions when I'm at work or even asking them! When ur at work focus on ur work, calling during lunch time/break to find out how she is or attending a call then is ok. Also try and find something for ur wife to do when ur working. Like join her up for some classes, tell her find a job etc, she sounds bored!

I don’t like to call my other half when he is at work....unless anything urgent.... it wont take more than 5 mints...

If you don’t call during work..Does that mean you don’t care? I doubt...

Btw...do you need a topic to talk to your spouse?? Why some people take conscious effort to make their partner happy? I think it should be something natural..

By Victory_278692• 8 Apr 2009 09:57

fix up the time when she would call you or make a practise that you call her when you get a proper break to discuss your day to day routines.

As you being in the office, can excuse her for some important task in hand and need completion by end of day.....

She is your better half and life partner (your own reflection).....take care!

By shyams• 8 Apr 2009 00:39

I understand you are busy at work when she calls (daily!!)

and hence u get irritated, or you feel embarrassed (strange) not knowing what to talk (unfortunately) to keep the conversation with your wife going.

prior being the case - make her understand you are busy at work and cant do justice to both at same time...and you have life's time to talk to her after work...

later being the case - discuss what she like, this will take ages for you to understand,, :-).

did you ever ask yourself why she always calls you during your work? have you ever felt something that corresponds to what she feels right now? or something like mental telepaty.

1) Just answer what she asks, with enthusiasm please.

2) Be thankful that she's there when you need to talk to someone in a stressful situation in your work

3) And most of all think of what she will feel with your response.

I hope it helps

By Happy Happy• 7 Apr 2009 23:36

First day, tell her “I miss you already" and on the way home, buy her something you know she likes.

Next day, you call her first.

Third day, tell her not to cook tonight and buy her dinner, to spare her the effort

Fourth day, tell her you're a little busy, but the moment she called is a minute of comfort.

Fifth day, when she calls you up, tell her to get dressed for a nice night out together.

If you have kids, that's another episode.

Why do men get irritated when their wives call them and they get all excited and jumpy when friends call? Don't you think something is wrong in that type of relationship?

If my husband calls me and asks me how I am or anything else, I get all happy that he took time off his busy life and called me to ask about me. And if I call him while he is busy - all I ask is how are you and are you feeling ok - need anything - etc .. and he replies so sweet, it makes me a happy person.

Be nice and don't ask people what to talk about with your wife. She should be your friend before anything - someone you are living with ... aaaaaah men .. what to do with you! :P

But seriously, be nice to her and you don't need to repeat the same scenario each time. Change is good. ACT interested. She'll love you for it.

Everyday is a new day, with new answers to the same questions. It should be exciting as when she calls, it gives you to take a break from work, get to know what she is upto..

Above all, like Victor says, be glad she calls.

Else, as Aussie said, get her a job!:)

First of all you are lucky, you get a chance to talk....

Once you ask the above 5 questions, she would take half a day to answer.

Next, ask or discuss about her parents, brothers, friends, hobbies, next vacation plans, cars, check what she passionate about......never ending list..

Once you get, where she is more intrested in then you emphasis more on that topics...hope this assist you
