Its just nice to check in and see what's going on with his day, and make sure there's nothing I forget (so many last minute "Hon, can you bring me ____" texts). totheislands on "Do you IM with your SO during the work day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-im-with-your-so-during-the-work-day/page/2#post-17907 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 14:49:18 +0000 totheislands 17907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ we IM everyday - usually after lunch through the end of the day - its not constant chatter but it makes the day so much better to be able to talk to him.

All throughout the day we're both available.

But, he calls/texts frequently unless he's swamped with customers.

Sometimes, we chat for a few minutes on the phone because there is something urgent or even just to say hi. :) meaganceleste on "Do you IM with your SO during the work day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-im-with-your-so-during-the-work-day#post-17797 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 13:21:05 +0000 meaganceleste 17797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We actually became friends through IMs at work when I was an intern at an accounting firm in college, then most of the time we were dating, we'd IM when I was in class and he was at work. Now, we mostly text message and email each other with the occasional tweet thrown in. I love staying connected to him during the day.

Unfortunately, he can't talk because his job is hands on and doesn't have time. He will text me here and there on lunch breaks though. When I'm working nights, I'll text him and he'll text me until he goes to bed. It's easier for me to find some down time to answer. heffalump on "Do you IM with your SO during the work day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-im-with-your-so-during-the-work-day#post-17413 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 15:27:07 +0000 heffalump 17413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Usually no. I only get a few breaks during my LO's naps. We used to before she was around though. If we need each other, we call.

We only call when something is urgent. elouise on "Do you IM with your SO during the work day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-im-with-your-so-during-the-work-day#post-17365 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 14:28:16 +0000 elouise 17365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We text throughout the day and sometimes call.. depending on how busy each others work days are.

DH isn't really into the IM thing. We will call and/or text occasionally if one of us has a question or needs something. He just doesn't see the point if we are going to see each other and be able to talk in person at home *eye roll* plantains on "Do you IM with your SO during the work day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-im-with-your-so-during-the-work-day#post-17333 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 13:41:58 +0000 plantains 17333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ we bbm and gchat quite a bit, whenever he has free periods. It is usually just quick little snippets though because he rarely has much time. It would feel really weird if I didn't hear from him all day. tequiero21 on "Do you IM with your SO during the work day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-im-with-your-so-during-the-work-day#post-17316 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 13:21:07 +0000 tequiero21 17316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ no he's too busy. we email or talk on the phone.

He is AD Military and I am a DoD Contractor working for the Military. Sometimes I dont see him all day or talk to him at all. But it is nice when I DO need something or need to talk to him I can track him down and talk to him in person. eeh on "Do you IM with your SO during the work day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-im-with-your-so-during-the-work-day#post-17183 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 09:54:11 +0000 eeh 17183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Depends on the day. If he's working he has to have his phone off (or face a $20,000 fine) unless they are stopped somewhere for some reason. If he's not working we'll text back and forth and I call when I get a break (lunch, specials, and recess usually). It's a bit of a necessity for us to communicate because otherwise I would have no idea when he goes to work, where's he going (for work), when he'll be home (3 hours, 12 hours, 3 days, etc). A lot of time's he is working or sleeping by the time I get home so we don't get the typical evening, after work chats like most couple.

I don't talk to my husband at all between 7:30 (when I leave for work) and 5:30 (when I get home from work). I am on gchat all day and I talk to my girlfriends that way, but not my husband! He's not really a "phone" person or a "chat" person. But in the evening when we finally get back together, we talk a lot in person. :) yin on "Do you IM with your SO during the work day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-im-with-your-so-during-the-work-day#post-17133 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 03:50:11 +0000 yin 17133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We gchat and text throughout the day. Occasionally we even have webcam sessions so that he can see the LO during his lunch time. looch on "Do you IM with your SO during the work day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-im-with-your-so-during-the-work-day#post-17124 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 02:21:04 +0000 looch 17124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not any more, as it is blocked at his work. But when I was working, we used a proprietary chat system. leelee on "Do you IM with your SO during the work day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-im-with-your-so-during-the-work-day#post-17114 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 01:57:27 +0000 leelee 17114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We usually text throughout the day just to see how the others day is going.

It is super weird if a day goes by and I realize I haven't heard from him :). Recently he's been really busy at work though so we haven't been chatting as much.

Usually just to tell him something but we do keep a window open!
