Do people really say, "how was your day, honey?" when they come home from work? Do spouses care what eachother did during the day when they are apart? My live-in boyfriend says NO. He says they come home and move on with things. He says he does not care what I have done during the day and that his work is too hard to explain to me. I say he is wrong and couples talk about their days. What does everyone else say?

I ask about my husband's day when he comes home from work after he changes into more relaxed clothes. He asks me about my da too. No I don't understand most of the stuff he works on at work BUT I listen to him.
We do this for each other because we love each other and care about what happens in each others lives when we are apart.

Yes - couples who care about each other do that. I always ask my husband if anything interesting happened while he was at work. We call each other at work during the day and the first thing he always asks me is how my day is going. My husband is my best friend and I can't imagine not having him to discuss things with - the good and the bad. People spend so much time at work - to not discuss it is to leave out an important part of your lives.

I say he is terribly wrong and if I were you, I would find someone who cared about what I did with my days and nites.....If you love someone you want to share everything with them.....my husband (12 years) still says honey how was your day the minute he sees me and greets me with a hug and a kiss.....we spend a few minutes catching up and then do what we have to do...start dinner...get ready to go out..whatever...He also calls me a couple of times during the day to say hi and check in....what do I want to do for dinner etc. or to tell me something good that has just happened to him at work....I think I'd find a partner that was more interested and more interesting than your guy sounds...good luck

I believe that he is wrong. What you did during the day, is important, and what he did is too. Each of you should talk about the things that happened to you. By doing this you are both able to vent about the bad things, and to feel good about the good things. If my wife and I didn't talk about where we were, who we saw, and what we did, it would be very silent when we are together. Besides that if you are planning to do something, about whatever happened, one can be a sounding board for the other, and maybe even offer an opinion or suggestion.

we never did but we worked together. however, we would talk about what we did at work (we hardly ever saw each other we just happened to be there at the same time, but if one of us was having a bad day or something the other would know) with other people. he always asked me how my day was on my day off, though.
my parents always did, at least before THEY started working together. i think it's a normal thing for couples, it shows they care.

i feel sorry for you. me and my husband have been married for over 3 years and every time he comes home from work he says hi honey im home!! gives me a big kiss and ask me how my day was and how our kid is doing and i ask him how his day went. good communication between couples is very important no matter what the topic is.

When my hubby comes home I say "Hey Hottie, how was your day?" But usually I have to nag him to get all the info out of him (He likes the attention). He does the same with me, good communication is key in a relationship.

Yes couples actually do talk to each other about their day. When the other person asks, it shows interest and that they care.

Your b/f is so wrong. My husband and I talk about our days....every day. I like to keep up with what his job is about on a day to day basis. It's called communication....and every couple needs that.

My husband and I lived together for 6 years before we got married and we have always and still do talk about our day.
If you had kids would he not want to talk about them either. It sounds like he is wrapped up in himself and he doesn't want to let you in to me.
