And if you weren't in a relationship? It would be deemed 'normal'.

No, it would be deemed "you need to get a life (that doesn't involve me) and I need to get a restraining order."

We all know how much men like chatting on the phone...

...so, what a torture

I'm not a man and I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of people with whom I enjoy "chatting" on the phone. And that's only because they are people I don't see regularly or talk to more than once or twice a month, so we actually have something to chat about when we call each other.

Beyond that, when it comes to phone calls that do not involve the transfer of mutually useful information, I have very little patience.

My average phone call is "Where you wanna meet for lunch?" My average call time per month is less than 100 minutes, and I had one month with a total of 4.5 minutes.

So I agree. If someone called me that much, "Get lost" would be first on the list, followed by "You might want to walk the other way see me in person."

My ex wife phone calls consisted of "what time you coming home" or "where are you and what are you up to"

Now my current girlfriend use the phone very rarely

I've just checked my last six months of phone bills, it reads -

Mar - 26 mins
Apr - 16 mins
May - 20 mins
Jun - 17 mins
Jul - 7 mins
Aug - 17 mins

That's 1¾ hours in six months! More than I thought. But the longest was 4 mins something to a plumbing merchant. Most were 15 - 25 seconds usually to the wife "I'll pick the girl up", "Can you get a loaf of bread while you're out?"...

Well, I have to admit that I recently ran into an old friend I haven't seen in thirty years. We got together a couple weeks ago and spent the day reminiscing about old times and talking about new, and yesterday we talked on the phone for just over an hour. That is pretty amazing, considering how much I hate telephones anyway.
