Phone prisoner NEW
by: Anonymous

I spend 95% of my day on the phone with mine. We mostly just hold the phone or argue bc there's only so much to talk about in a day. I get frustrated bc I feel like a hostage to this phone. He gets mad when I suggest get off the phone. When he's home we don't argue but soon as he leaves he gets started over the phone.

Silence is not always golden NEW
by: Anonymous

I keep 2 bluetooth headsets charged and ready as he calls me and we can be on the phone for hours while he drives. I do most of the talking and his input is mostly complaining about someone driving too slow or cutting him off. We have long periods of silence as I simply run out of things to talk about but I have found if I suggest we just get off the phone a while he sounds irritated, says "ok bye" and hangs up. I just let him decide when to end the call. As for the headset while I'm home on the phone, I find it easier to be hands free so I can still do things around the house, otherwise I get nothing accomplished. I wish he were more talkative but he is silent at home too.
