It's not a male thing. I deal with the exact same issue with my wife. I do have security issues that I'm not proud of at all. I will text her mid morning... (she's a home transcriptionist and has no set time to get up) telling her, "good morning beautiful" and sometimes not hear back for 2 hours. Go to her Facebook or Pintrest account and see she's probably been up since I walked out the door. She's talking to her friends and liking everything social media has to offer. I hate social media! Maybe there are those of us who desire/need to know that our other feels the way we do 100% of the time. Maybe I'm just not on the right meds. Maybe the ride is about to come to a complete and final stop. Frustrating...
