Personally I would find it off putting if I were calling a friend's cell and their spouse answered. I would prefer to just leave a message if the friend is busy....I don't like making small talk with randos. .twist. on "Do you answer your SO's phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-answer-your-sos-phone#post-1404477 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 16:28:35 +0000 .twist. 1404477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, but only if I know who it is and if I am close with that person. Like, his mother, or best friend, or one specific cousin. I usually answer obnoxiously too. yin on "Do you answer your SO's phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-answer-your-sos-phone#post-1404446 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 16:21:23 +0000 yin 1404446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would rather let it ring and go to voicemail than to answer, especially if my in-law's are calling. DH likes to answer my phone when I don't know the number.

If he's expecting a call, I'll pay attention but either way I'll tell him he missed a call. preggomeggo82 on "Do you answer your SO's phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-answer-your-sos-phone#post-1404337 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:51:26 +0000 preggomeggo82 1404337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ depends on who is calling. If it's his mom or a close friend, yes.

If I hear it vibrating and he's not around, I just let it go to voicemail then tell him someone called.

If it's his work, family or friends, I let it go to voicemail. mrs. tictactoe on "Do you answer your SO's phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-answer-your-sos-phone#post-1404279 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:32:15 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1404279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ If I know who it is and if he wants me to, I will, but it rarely happens. blackbird on "Do you answer your SO's phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-answer-your-sos-phone#post-1404271 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:30:52 +0000 blackbird 1404271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not unless he tells me to. I usually peek over and holler, "it's your mom, want me to answer?!" because sometimes he does. He always asks before answering mine, too JoJoGirl on "Do you answer your SO's phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-answer-your-sos-phone#post-1404139 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:00:05 +0000 JoJoGirl 1404139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LOL we got in an ENORMOUS fight about this the other day, mostly because my answer is "no" and his answer is "yes" and we've never really discussed it ;) Mrs. Lemon-Lime on "Do you answer your SO's phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-answer-your-sos-phone#post-1404112 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:55:45 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1404112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No. We don't answer each other's phone. I wouldn't mind if he picked up my phone if it's family, but he's probably thinking the same as me "ugh ILs...honey your phone is ringing" lol Bao on "Do you answer your SO's phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-answer-your-sos-phone#post-1404110 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:55:03 +0000 Bao 1404110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not usually unless it's his parents. spaniellove on "Do you answer your SO's phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-answer-your-sos-phone#post-1404108 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:54:24 +0000 spaniellove 1404108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No but if someone seems to be calling repeatedly I'll glance over to see who it is in case it's a work emergency. Once or twice I've just answered when I knew there was a work emergency and I knew the caller.

Maybe I would if it was his mom calling. snowjewelz on "Do you answer your SO's phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-answer-your-sos-phone#post-1404074 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:49:01 +0000 snowjewelz 1404074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't like too, it's so awkward! I've done it before tho and he always wants me to answer it! nana87 on "Do you answer your SO's phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-answer-your-sos-phone#post-1404063 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:47:46 +0000 nana87 1404063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have, but only if it's closer to me/he wouldn't get it in time and he says to answer it. Then I usually answer saying something like "Hi <mil's name>, it's <me>. hang on a sec and I'll give the phone to <dh>." Or the other night, my dad called me while we were eating dinner and I didn't answer, and then he called dh--I answered the phone then since he was clearly looking for me Boheme on "Do you answer your SO's phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-answer-your-sos-phone#post-1404060 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:47:23 +0000 Boheme 1404060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, but he always asks me too. I refuse since its usually his (s)mother. :silly: Mae on "Do you answer your SO's phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-answer-your-sos-phone#post-1404049 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:45:47 +0000 Mae 1404049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Mostly not. If it is ringing when he isn't in the room I'll look to see who it is and yell to him whose calling, but generally he says he'll call them back in a few. Probably the only exception would be his mom, because usually when he talks to her we both do, so she's equally likely to call him vs. me and usually if he doesn't answer she calls me next anyways. looch on "Do you answer your SO's phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-answer-your-sos-phone#post-1404047 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:45:34 +0000 looch 1404047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have, yes. Sometimes it's people looking for me! rattles on "Do you answer your SO's phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-answer-your-sos-phone#post-1404036 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:43:55 +0000 rattles 1404036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I answer if it's family, but otherwise I just holler to him. Alivoo01 on "Do you answer your SO's phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-answer-your-sos-phone#post-1404006 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:38:35 +0000 Alivoo01 1404006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope, even if I know who it is. I'll yell and say "hey, so-an-so is calling you". He'll normally tell me to pick it up though, but I don't on my own. If he knows who's calling on my phone, he'll pick it up if I'm not around. lovehoneybee on "Do you answer your SO's phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-answer-your-sos-phone#post-1404000 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:36:49 +0000 lovehoneybee 1404000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Only if I know who it is. pui on "Do you answer your SO's phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-answer-your-sos-phone#post-1403996 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:35:48 +0000 pui 1403996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yep all the time lol, but only if I recognize who is calling. Mamaof2 on "Do you answer your SO's phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-answer-your-sos-phone#post-1403989 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:34:24 +0000 Mamaof2 1403989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I never do - I just let it ring and then tell him when he gets back from wherever he was (bathroom, upstairs, outside, etc) DH will answer my phone if its my mom but other than that he doesn't answer mine either
