Ever experience trying to reach your wife on phone, either to check on her or for an urgent need and its takes forever for her to pick the phone.

it can be so annoying, have had to get her colleagues and other neighbours number just to help reach her and inform her i need to talk to her.


Is the situation same on your side?

Ladies, any reason for these?

just because someone said somebody did not pick her calls, does not give rise to a need for threads such as these?

Your wife's issue is not a married women trait...
Reasons I can think of...
1) Some people are just not attached to their phones
2) Some just don't want to be bothered by calls...
3) Her job may have a no answering of personal phone policy, but since you mentioned neighbours, scratch that out.
You know your wife. Is she the type that is always on her phone, browsing social media, texting others etc? If she is, the truth is that she simply does not want to be bothered by your calls, because there's no way she wouldn't see your calls.

There are people that even if I'm taking a shower, I'll pick up their calls loll. The others? ...oh dear I would leave it to ring till eternity.

She doesn't think any call is important anymore...after all no more toasters calls expected anymore and if anyone really needs to get to her she may be thinking the person can contact u . lollllll

the matter tire me oooooooo, they rather spend their money on gold, beauty whatever and wares than buy airtime.

Guilty as charged.

The phone sometimes dey bottom of the handbag.
By the time you rummage through your orishirishi to get to it, the call don end.
Can't be bothered eh.
If you're important, I'll call you back.

Gbam. I experience the same thing. In fact there are some numbers i don't pick and I save such numbers with a danceable song. One number i saved with personally by psquare another one limpopo by kcee and the third one baby pull over so when they call na for me to dance. As a matter of fact i don't mind them running down my battery with calls. The phone will ring to the end of the song so I can dance

Guilty as charged

If it's not an emergency, pls send a text.

I sometimes wish we could go back to the days of landlines only.

Most ladies are guilty of that.

Chai...I know I can never use her number as an emergency contact else you don enter one chance.


For the married ones I guess kids and lots of distracting things they have to battle with is one reason. For the single ones the bags they carry is one reason. Most males always have their phones on their body I.e pocket but ladies? Always in the bag.


Op..Just learn to make sure you agree on the things you want her to do before leaving home so the need for important calls would be minimal.

Exactly, when its an emergency and you need to call your spouse.

I was guilty of that too,wen I had my son,reason is dat any chance I see to sleep I don't joke with it,simply put my phone on silence and sleep b4 my son wakes up,when my husband complains I told him my reasons,so he understand,so a mssg on bbm will do if it's urgent he'll buzz me with ping on bbm d phone will vibrate and i'll respond

Guilty as charged.. hubby is always saying 'madam they are called mobile phones for a reason ' you use your mobile like a landline.

I love my phone too much. Everyone complains about it. I don't know why others don't pick their calls.

Sometimes when I call my mum, it will take her 48hrs to return the call to tell me she saw a missed call. I usually get to her through my nieces.

For younger women, the handbag is the major cause and most put it on vibration.

It is not a married women thing. It is a your wife thing. Maybe she was too busy f***king her boss. Who knows?

Your wife not picking your / her calls on time isn't enough yardstick to assume all married women act the same way. However, I too may be guilty of the same thing.

I've had hubby on numerous occasions ring my mobile, then the landline, then our sons' phones just to reach me - even on weekends when I'm home.

For starters, my phone is always on "silent / viberate" mode. Secondly, I'm not joined at the hip with my phone. If it's nowhere nearby, then I won't hear it, and if I can't hear it, I won't be answering it, will I?

Thirdly, it depends on the caller, and what I'm doing at that particular moment. If I'm busy and see my phone ringing, I won't be picking just then. Even if I'm not busy, it depends on who the caller is at that particular time. Are you important enough for me to interrupt / leave whatever it is I might be doing, to answer your call? What mood am I in? Sometimes I'll pick but to say I'll call you back later, or I'll ignore then call you back later.

On the other hand, I could be seriously multitasking in the kitchen - cooking jollof rice, grilling chicken, steaming vegetables, frying plantain, laying the kitchen table, loading the washing machine, dishwasher, tumble dryer, and at the same time trying to keep my three year old toddler from getting up to mischief in the kitchen - and yet, answer the phone to briefly acknowledge your call.

So @op, as you can see, it's fairly complex (deciding when and how to answer a call) for us married ladies. Nor vex.

U wey de open thread anyhow de complain too. Hian

most times unknown to me, my kids would put it on silent mode.

This is different, involves a known political figure.

i'm soo guilty. The reason being attending to many things at the same time. The phone might be in room and i'm in the kitchen, sometimes i take them to the kitchen and forget them there. So many things to metion girey. The world of wives and mothers is soo complex. I no fit to dey carry phone about. Sometimes i get to see missed calls the next day.
