Should I be upset?

[Jenisi]

So like my boyfriend left for a Buisness trip Sunday morning at 6:30 and he STILL hasn't called even though he said he would.. Am I over-reacting or what?

[Tsa`ah]

This is Tuesday? So we're talking 54 hours.

I spend half of each month on the road or at air ports. The first call I make when I arrive is home. Second is to who I'm visiting and third to whom ever sent me.

I'm also married, so I have the fear factor going on.

My vote... he's a guy semi-attached. What can you do?

Just hope he's ok and go from there.

[CrystalTears]

Personally I'd be worried because I'm a worry wart.

If you live together, I'd definitely be worried. If you're just seeing each other and live separately, I don't think he'll find the need to call even though he may want to. He may just be busy. Who can understand the mind of the male? ;)

Chin up hon, he'll show up. :)

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

Unless something has happened to him, he is either uncaring, or in the process of deciding to break up with you.

That is my truly male perspective.

[Artha]

Be upset, but only alittle...make him buy you dinner or something.

Heck, a few years ago my husband left for a fun trip and I didn't hear from him for two days. (I could have gone too) I've never been one to stress really. I figure there's nothing they can do out of town that they can't do in town.

If he said he was going to call or was going someplace dangerous, then I would probably worry from that aspect. Of course some people mean 'going to call' as in 'going to call sometime during the time I'm away' type phone call.

That is a kind of gloom and doom type view. LOL

Depends on how much you like him I guess.

I know I'm going to get chewed on this but it has to be said. Women are sometimes WAY too needy, SOME women. I always hate women that get all worked up if you don't call them to second you get somewhere, or expect you to talk to them all the time. If I'm on vacation, you need to wait if I'm busy. I'm not on vacation to talk to my girlfriend when I have other things I can do.... This is a little different, I would expect him to say "I got here safe, but I got some work I need to get done."

Either way, it had to be said. Sometimes women are way to needy.

I'm with Tsa'ah on t his one. I'm the type of guy who always calls home/mother/whoever first when I arrive somewhere that I went to alone. Even if they didn't worry about me, they at least know I got their safely and everything is fine, so in the future if they didn't hear from me they have no need to worry.

I'm not one to judge anyone else, each person is unique in his or her own way..Maybe the guy is just super busy, maybe he's not. Maybe he forgot to call, or maybe he feels he doesn't need to as it's not important to him so much.

I wouldn't stress over it a whole bunch, as I've told you numerous times, you've known this guy for almost your entire life so it's easiest to just sit back a moment and ask yourself is this normal for him..Then you might feel a bit better about it...Even if you are sick right now and sound like a 13 year old boy! Plus you still have me to keep you occupied till he calls!

I'll be your boyfriend so you don't have that problem.

[Betheny]

Men are just silly, he probably didn't call because he forgot or he's busy or something.

You should do his best friend and teach him a lesson.

I'm kidding, btw.

[Caels]

Bob, you being anyone's boyfriend would be the problem.

Anyhow, I'm the kinda person that never calls anyone. I don't have much to say on the phone and most often I'd rather say something to someone's face.

But, if I told you that I'd call, I would. I like to stick to my words if I can.

[Gokkem]

Tough call, but I think I would be a tad suspicious. When on business trips, you usually find quiet, alone time back at the hotel you are staying at after work. This provides the perfect time to call loved ones, if not able to call from the office, etc you are working out of. When I was on business trips I missed home so bad I'd call home 1-2 times a day to check it out.

I voted for "he's a guy, what do you expect" just because you can't ever figure out what a guy is doing. Just like you can't ever figure out what a woman wants. LOL

[Bobmuhthol]

You're a disgrace to us men, Gokkem. Hang your head in shame and relieve yourself of your duties.

Angela, right now as you're reading this he is snorting coke off of hooker's tits.

Can that be claimed as a business expense?

Dang I thought my man-bashing disclaimer would save me from woman's wrath. Wrong again; see what I mean guys?

[StrayRogue]

I know. You can do no right with women. Its the whole, "Do I look fat in this" syndrome all over again. Crazies.

[AnticorRifling]

Don't sweat it. If my wife, then girlfriend, decided to break up with me every time I went a few days without calling I'd be very much single right now. Guys, if they think like me, think that no news is good news. I rarely call someone just to chit chat or see how they are doing. I call to pass information and a phone call should be under three minutes unless someone died.

[Bobmuhthol]

<<I call to pass information and a phone call should be under three minutes unless someone died.>>

No, then the rule should be uber-enforced. That or you don't pick up the phone/don't call the person.

Words of wisdom from Al Bundy. It's not the dress the makes you look fat, it's the fat that makes you look fat.

Wohoo! Now you can get the attacks from all the pysco women ::cough:: crystaltears ::cough::

[longshot]

What's the norm for him in this type of situation?

Is this the first time he's been away on a trip like this and not called?

I would wait and see what he has to say. If he does call, and begins with a "you wouldn't believe the shit that happened" story, then I wouldn't bring it up at all.

He could very well be at a strip bar too...

either is plausible.

:o Hey!

Pick your battles, buddy. Just you wait.

[SpunGirl]

Yeah..... he said he would call... unless he said he would call at a specific day and time, that means he'll call eventually. You have to make guys be specific or you get nowhere.

What's with the whole calling all the time anyway? I'm a chick, and I like to talk on the phone, but I don't feel the need to be ON the phone if I have nothing to say. If I've got something to talk about with a friend or whoever, fine, if not, see ya later.

On trips, I'd prefer to call and say "I got here safe," call again and say, "I'm on my way home, expect me around xyz time," and that'd be it.

-K

[CrystalTears]

It all depends on the relationship.

I'm on the phone all day at work so I don't even pick it up at home, I let the voicemail answer it. I hate talking on the phone at this point. I'll speak with my fiance if he calls because I love him and I like to hear his voice, but I don't need it nor request it.

When one of us travels, we call the other to let them know we got there safely and any other calls that are received are icing and not necessary. Then again we're really, really, really close and rather protective of each other so we like to know that the other is safe. If he's running late I'd like a call, and vice versa. It's not about keeping tabs on each other, it's just about a reassurance/safetly thing. We're funny that way.

[Edaarin]

I still call my ex girlfriend 3 times a week just to talk. Sad, isn't it. Let the flaming begin.

[Bobmuhthol]

Your ex girlfriend is ugly and she calls me 5 times a day. Sad. Let the praise begin.

[Edaarin]

WARN BOBMUHTHOL INTERACTION

It's like 2:30 pm. Shouldn't you be in school by now?

[Edited on 8-27-2003 by Edaarin]

[Artha]

School doesn't start for another week in some places...

[Bobmuhthol]

Uhh.. no. School doesn't start until next Wednesday, you douche.

[Drew2]

School started monday for me... and last wednesday for my HS friends back home. So, Edaarin was right in his assumption.

[Bobmuhthol]

No he wasn't. He assumed school started and it didn't. You're stoopid.

[Drew2]

For much of the country, it did. You don't/never count. Get over it. Move on.

[Artha]

I don't go back until the day after labor day.

[Drew2]

Artha < Bobmuhthol.

How's that for school?

[Artha]

Do you have any more factoring questions for me? :)

[Bobmuhthol]

What's 5 + 2 x 100?!?!?!

[Gokkem]

School started for my kids today. WOOOHOOO.

It is a great day indeed. Should be a national holiday; no wait then no school.

[Artha]

What's 5 + 2 x 100?!?!?!

That's not factoring.

205.

[Drew2]

2x^2 + 21x +10

Get to work.

[Bobmuhthol]

(2x + 1) (x + 10)

Amateur.

[Jenisi]

Sorry I havne't posted we sorta had a tornado or something here two days ago and the power has been out. He called my cell Tuesday night.. I didn't let myself sound upset or anything. But I let him know that I was worried about knowing weather he got there ok and that he should give me a call next time when he arrives just so I know. Anyways! I'm not a needy girl, just a caring one ;p
