I call my husband maybe twice a month on his cell phone (only if important and I do it during his lunch break). He's in sales and works out of the home and office all day. He never returns my calls when he's on lunch or at a work function/party (after 5:00). I think this is rude, considering I rarely call him. What do you think?

I think it's very rude, and I even stayed up late baking him a breakfast casserole so he could warm it up in the a.m. before he left. I think I should go on a nice vacation and leave a note! :)

Girl! Somethings up! Please, you call him on his break and he can't even pick up the phone? What the hell is he doing? And whats up with these party's? Why aren't you invited?? Look you've got two choices, start doing what the hell you want! I mean find yourself someone on the side and use that asshole and spend his money!! And the hell with calling him! Don't be home when he gets there and wait about 3 hours after he gets home for you to return home. Be all dressed up from head to toe and come in with a smile on your face. Then when he asks you where you've been tell him out with some girlfriends! And then tell him Oh honey I was thinking of calling you but you never pick up the phone!!! Then stay up late watch TV or something and don't go right to bed. That way he'll lay there thinking what the hell you've been up to. Do that for awhile and he'll be calling you! Also go buy some new underwear, clothes, perfume and get a new haircut nails the whole works! He'll be wondering then. don't hug or kiss him ignore him stop doing things for him!! Now your other choice is follow him and show up to these party's he goes to and see what he's up to, and stop at his job when he's at work on his so call lunch break! Good luck girl!! Ps. If you find him with someone else, come back to yahoo answers and I'll help you out! Take care and good luck!!!

I think it is rude as well....but most importantly very disrespectful to you as his wife. Granted some people will say that you shouldn't be calling your husband on his cell phone during work hours.....but it is unavoidable at times. You seem to be respectful about when and why you call your husband....and it is nothing compared to some wives. He should know by now that the reason you are calling is because it is important.....and return your call. If you have children and one of them, or you, had gotten hurt and he didn't answer that phone call how would he feel then? It is obvious that you are not calling him on a daily basis for a "chat"....he should respect you and call you back.

I'm a buyer by profession and I know sales guys have to put up with a lot of crap. Old school buyers expect perks and feel that the better they are taken care of the better their order will be handled. Work functions after 5:00 are full of those guys. Your husband maybe dealing with people that are big baby's. I've seen buyers give business to people with the higher price just because of their "relationship" with them. I'm a straight shooter, but not all buyers are. Cut him a little slack. You don't know the egos he has to stroke to get his job done.

Well, if you call him during the times that he might be busy (like having lunch with other people) - it's no wonder he doesn't answer the phone right away. I never answer my phone when I'm at a social function, I think it's rude to the people you're with.

I don't know what his job is requiring him to do? Or if they say that he isn't allowed to use his company phone for personal calls.
I would think that it's rude if there is no rule against him using the phone. He should at least call you back when it's convenient when he's seen your call on his phone. It could be an emergency!

It is definitely not right. I suggest u set him straight on this as it's very important to be able to get a hold of him in case of emergency. Even if he's extremely busy, he can always take a couple of minutes to call u.

If he is in a meeting/luncheon/Dinner meeting it would be rude for him to interrupt that with answering his cell. Also you might want to check with him. Many sales people I know, mute/turn off their phones when they go into a meeting to not appear rude when it goes off and then check the messages once the meeting is over. You might want to check if that is what he does.

You are right, that is rude. Least he can do is return your call considering it very well could be an emergency plus would show he has some sort of maturity about him.

Honey, I think he is totally taking you for granted. Maybe its time he saw the light. I would do that with the note and leave for a bit. That would shock him..maybe he can learn to respect your feelings.
I think I agree with Jeevan, do some checking, surpise him a time or two. Show up when he doesnt expect you.

If you don't call him very often, then yes I would say not calling you back is very rude.
However, If you call him all the time or call him when you know he does not want to talk or have time to talk then you are the one being rude.
