This question is for people who regularly see their mate...not people who are always on the road for business, overseas with the military, etc.

I've noticed that my friends who are attached are seemingly always on the phone with their spouses/mates. People who just saw each other a couple hours ago yakking on the cell about what seems to be unimportant (to me anyway) stuff. I'm starting to think I'm the weird one.

Talking with my wife tonight about it, she says the other people in her office are constantly getting calls from their spouses. I asked if she would want me to do that, she said hell no, I'm busy working -- you can call if it's important, but not just to chat. But, I never call just to chat -- we see each other every day, and have plenty of time to chat when we are both free.

But all the people around me cannot seem to go more than a couple hours without voice contact. I just don't understand it -- I'm talking about grown people, not teenagers.

So, is everybody out there nuts, or am I the reject? ( I recognize these 2 answers may not be mutually exclusive).
