Clocking In

Everytime I’m out with my friend or we meet up for coffee or meals, his phone will ring.
“Hello?” he’d answer softly, so I’d know right away that his girlfriend was checking up on him.
If coffee is extended because we have a lot of things to talk about, his phone would ring again. The girlfriend calls again.
One day, I decided to be straightforward and asked, “Do you have to speak to XXXX (his girlfriend’s name) every hour of the day? Is it compulsory?”
You’d think I was a jealous b*tch trying to steal him away, but noooooo, it’s just that if he’s helping out with something, let’s say my computer or my car, and it takes time, so when his gilfriend keeps calling, isn’t it annoying for him? He’s trying to get some stuff done but the girlfriend keeps checking on him!
He said that it’s not what he wants, but it’s what his girlfriend wants to do, that is, to have lengthy conversations with him when they don’t meet.
I suppose it’s understandable, but if he is busy and he doesn’t call you back an hour later, will you bug him every hour until he finally cuts his outings with friends short, so he can call you back and chat til bedtime?
I’d feel suffocated if my partner did that to me, calling or sending me text messages every hour when I’m busy!
However, love is a funny thing, I guess. When in a long distance relationship, every small bit of effort is compulsory to keep the relationship going strong!
But it’s still annoying – super possesive!
How frequent do you check on your partner – every hour, every 3 hours, every 6 hours, once a day or less?

  1. wahahahhahaa~~ i am the first this time!!!
    i dont like the word CHECK, i usually call when i think of him and wondering what he is doing…

  2. I absolutely detest it. All this checking up and updating where you are business. Hmm perhaps they would make good Special Branch officers? heh πŸ˜‰

  3. YUMMIE: not every hour lah ya? πŸ˜‰
    David: it depends lah, perhaps the partner is a pretty blur person and needs to be reined at times? i think i’ll go crazy if i receive this sort of treatment

  4. erm… of coz… i dont miss him that much though… i have many other things to do *or people to miss*… hahahahaha…

  5. I text my bf instead of calling him. If he’s free, he’d return a call. One, it’s cheaper :p. Two, you will never be labelled as ‘possessive’, ‘understanding’ instead.
    About your case, probably you’re too hot that the girlfriend felt intimidated of your presence around the boyfriend.

  7. Adriana: ahahaha no, i’m not the hot one. maybe it’s tiring for her sometimes when she calls her bf 3 days in a row and so happen that he’s out with me and some friends. probably thinks i’m after him!
