Mariposa: Checking, Testing 123..Hello?

Any of your spouses or boyfriends frequent travellers? Or perhaps, you have a long-distance relationship?

My question is..do u call, sms, email each other frequently? Hubs & I used to have a pretty long-distance relationship, we were at least 12 months apart. Back then, Hubs was completing his E&E degree in Queensland, Australia. Me? huh...still residing in Malaysia, hanging out at mamaks;p
Anyhow, we managed to keep our long-distance relationship alive! We practically called each other several times a week, emailed daily & would send each other sms whenever we felt like it. Hence, we made it..! 14 years!

Now, Hubs is a pretty busy one-man show. Does any of your hubs call or sms u that he will be late? Or he is lunching with his buddies? Or..he is in a serious discussion?
Yes, my hubs will definitely find time to do so even when he is out of the country. If he does not call or sms, I will continue with my household chores, cook or spend quality time with my kids. Otherwise, I will sms him to check if he is superbly busy? Are u or not coming back for dinner, so I could warm up d dinner. Of course, like everybody else, we women tend to get a lil furious if he doesn't ring or sms..haha!
Let me highlight this - Some may face problems, due to lack of communication & arguments. This applies to long-distance relationships too. Some may be too tired to even show love & respect for their spouses & loved ones, hence they feel neglected. Some may even sms each other every 15 minutes.. Do what you feel is best for your relationship.
At times, sms or email could be d best way to keep in touch* with all d latest gadgets, technologies such as Video conferencing, Iphone etc...Facebook or Tweeter which are reachable.

Just key in something short & sweet -

Love, What are u doing?
Missing u...
Will u be back for dinner? Cooking your fav'!
Busy? Meeting? Who are u with?
Shall we go for a date?
Can't wait to see u!
I Love U..

Sometimes your spouse may even anticipate that he will be back shortly, u waited yet no sign & get all frustrated. He could be caught in a terrible jam or an urgent meeting. Its ok, cool it .. just pick up your Handphone, Call or Sms!
