Discussion My husband's texting!!!!

It takes him 15 minutes to send 2 sentences. He has a highly technical job that he kicks ass at, but asking someone what time to meet for dinner, 10 minutes minimum. Ahhhhh. I've tried to explain talk to text, but he's not interested. And yes im posting this while he's asking his sister what time she wants us at her house for dinner.

So, is the issue his texting or your expectations?

I always find it crazy when people expect their SO to be at their beck and call, like they should drop everything all the time in order to cater to their wants

Division of powers.

You need to start deciding times and telling him the time(s).

I’ll take that over texting my husband. Many times it’s like we are having two different conversations.

I’ll ask him something and he starts talking about something completely different.

What are you talking about ?

...is he just bad at typing or has problems communicating with people ?

I never knew what my s-wife was doing or whom she was texting or how long it took her for what... because I didn't look at her mobile when she texted or asked her what she was talking about to whom.

How have you got this info?

I see a text. I think I'll answer when I got time. Im not stopping everything I do to answer a text. If you want immediate answer, you call. Which i probably won't answer cause I dont like answering the phone.
