Hey everyone!

I am constantly ignoring my fiance'... She calls me numerous times a day, while I'm at work. When I do answer, she usually just gets mad and hangs up on me because I'm focused on work anyway... Am I going to hell, or is this normal? I feel like an ass...

 

How long have you been engaged? Mine was like this for a little while myself. It's quite annoying. Try being on the road constantly, working in a million different time zones and dealing with that at the same time.

 

Just leave her.

 

Since March. She just likes to make sure I'm in the loop.

No

 

In the loop on what? Napkin colors?

Just tell her you have to focus at work (which, you know, is like that place where someone is paying you do something for them, and ideally will result in neither of you having to live in a refrigerator box when you are married, but I digress, and don't say this out loud), and it would be better for you to get the whole download at the end of the day, or at lunch time if she needs your input, which is what I bet it is.

 

I'm sure it's about what we are going to do after work.

 

Get drunk and fuck?

She is probably very excited and wants to share everything with you. My wife did the same bullshit until I called her out on it - told her quite bluntly that I needed to take care of business and we can talk about wedding stuff when we sit down for dinner. Had to reassure her that I still wanted to be with her, that getting married was the best decision I could have made, tell her I love her, etc.....

But a straight forward discussion would probably be in your best interest. It started to ride my nerves whenever she would call and go on and on about little stupid stuff that I honestly had no opinion on. She didn't understand WHY I didn't care if we had a blue ribbon streamer across the tables or not, or if the second to last song should be this one or that one. All I cared about was having my friends and family there. I told her that, and she "understood", then accused me of not wanting to marry her.....God I do not miss that period of time for an instant. It will all work out in the end though.

 

set some ground rules for phone calls at work. Have her call you if it is truely important (someone dying or something like that) otherwise she can text you and you can responed when you have minute or 2. Make sure she doesn't expect a txt back within a minute either. It's all about setting expectations with women.

 

my rule was unless the house was on fire, send me a text

 

I ignored her calls and emailed her, she replied right back, definitely not a fire or death... Ugh, I hate confronting these situations... There is no need to start a fight or hurt feelings, but that's what it always comes down to.

 

No need for fights. Just a simple conversation to let her know that phone calls aren't always easy for you to take while at work and that txt/email would be best if it isn't life or death.

 

Are you going down the the fair tonight?
