DH is usually in meetings for the entire day so we can't talk on the phone/email/IM etc. We're usually apart for 12 hours. Sometimes I miss talking to him but other days I am busy doing my own thing. How about you?

We usually talk. Either over the phone or email. Nothing big, we just have little questions. He works in computers so he's usually able to check his email often.

My husband is very focused on work when he's at work, so even if we had time to chat, he wouldn't, haha. So we never talk during the day, which is roughly 10 hours that we're apart. We're not really chatty people though - we don't talk on the phone, e-mail, or IM each other much anyway. We like to talk in person and we do plenty of that once we're together again.

We do talk during the day, usually thru gchat or texting. He's in and out of meetings but from my days of being a SAHM he keeps in constant touch with me because I needed that from him when I was home. We also try to meet for lunch at least once a week, and we commute together, so we actually get to spend a fair amount of time together during the weekdays! I'm very very very lucky!!

We'll email just once in the day (either I'm giving him an update on LO or he's emailing me for an update). But we don't talk on the phone - he's so busy or focused that if/when I do call him, he's very short with me and it pisses me off so I just stop calling him. But, he always calls me when he's on his way home.

DH is a teacher so it's impossible to reach him during the day without calling the main office and being patched through. I have done that only 1-2 times in emergencies because he gets really anxious when I do.
That said, we occasionally e-mail a bit if he ever sits down and we talk every day on our ways home.

We usually email once or twice a day while we're at work. Sometimes more. I used to text him a lot, but since switching to Verizon, he doesn't have great service in his building, so he rarely responds.

We text back and forth all day and sometimes email too, and he responds pretty quickly as long as he is not teaching a class. We also get to eat lunch together several times a week as our house is roughly 10 minutes from both our workplaces, which is really nice.

We normally text back and forth throughout the day. I'm in and out of the lab while he's all over the place, so text is more efficient since we can just check it when we have a free second.

We text through out the day.
I can usually time when I'll get a text from him based on his work schedule that day lol

We work at the same company, but do different things, so we talk quite a bit when I'm at work. We talk less since I've been on maternity leave.

DH doesn't have access to email or his cell phone during the day, but he usually tries to call me once a day at work just to check in and say hi.
When he was a grad student, we talked on IM all the time, and I kind of miss that!

We usually don't talk when we are at work, he is super busy at work, and when I am at work, I won't interrupt patient care to talk to my spouse (so unprofessional). We have plenty of time to talk in the mornings before work and the evenings when we are home.

yep. Even when we are both at work, we chat/text. We text throughout the day, and he always calls me on his lunch break and when he is driving home.

He.usually calls me when he's commuting between hospitals or when he leaves the hospital on his way home.... Then he calls me around bedtime if we're not together.....

We text or e-mail, send photos of things we run across during the day. We try to have lunch together once a week if possible.

Usually we'll send a few emails to remind each other of things we need to get done (like chores, errands, etc). Sometimes he'll send me an email to crack me up, which I love getting. But it's not often.

I usually text him throughout the day. He can call but I'm in a cubical so I can't really talk much.

We'll have maybe one phone call. Otherwise we email or text. Recently we sometimes use blip me on the iPhone which is fun too.

We usually text throughout the day. He keeps his phone in his office so if he has a really busy day and is on the floor a lot then I won't here from him. We also play Draw Something too.

DH has his own business so sometimes he works from home. When he goes out we text or sometimes talk on the phone. Before I had the baby I worked with him so we were together pretty much all the time. Luckily we like each other a LOT
