Men and the phone!!

Does anyone elses DH or FI hate the phone?  My FI owns his own business but having him call a client is like telling him he's getting his teeth pulled and he still would rather get his teeth pulled.   He even hates just calling for pizza, I don't know what it is.  As loud and goofy as he is with me, he has no clue how to put words together over the phone, he gets so nervous....it's kind of  cute seeing him get nervous but it's annoying too.   I on the other hand have no problem talking on the phone, where he finds it easier to talk in person.....AHHHH!!!  he makes me want to scream b/c it's like he has to rehears what he's gonna say so it comes our right

Re: Men and the phone!!

  • My H hates the phone.  It's like pulling teeth to get him to call momzilla.  Then again getting her off of the phone in less then twenty minutes is a near miracle.
  • My H hates it too, but he's on it all day with clients - so I don't blame him. He usually ignores phone calls, but does the obligatory once/week call with his mom. He always makes me call pizza places, too!
  • I have the opposite.  DH seems to always be on the phone.  He's the one that burns up all of our cell minutes.  I hate the phone.

    Ditto, I have to practically beg him to call his mom. ?I only do this because I feel like she blames me for him not calling enough every time we see her. ?Even though before we met he says he never called her much anyway. ?I feel like she thinks its my job to make sure he calls her. ?So, whatever, I do it. ?He hates it.

    Also if we call for takeout he offers to pick it up if I will please call and order it. ?I don't care because it means I don't have to leave the house.?

    Same here!  DH is always on the phone - I always joke that he's like a 16 yr old girl lol.

    I am not a phone person... I do txt a lot though

  • Neither DH nor I are big phone people, but we call and receive calls when necessary.

    The only circumstance where I'm the obligatory phone-caller is when we order Chinese food. He always says that I'm more patient because of the language barrier.. haha!

  • Neither of us are phone people.  We do rock paper scissors to see who calls for take out.

  • My FI is the exact same way!

     

     

  • It's the opposite in this house! I hate, hate, hate, calling and ordering pizza. 

  • My H hates calling to order things, schedule appointments, or find out information. He always wants me to call for him. I can't seem to understand what's so hard about it.
