In A Perfectly Happy Marriage, Is It Normal For A Happy Wife To Text This?

28

My Wife is at work and is texting me from there, but she’s not being so lovey. She’s talking about what she wants to eat on her break with me, how much her paycheck was, if our parking ticket was paid and what photo she wants to have of us for our Christmas photo in cards. Is this normal for a perfectly happy Wife? I think i might be being a little silly because i’m young, but i get afraid when she doesn’t call me a pet name or say lovey things over texts, i feel like i’m turning into just a best friend, is this silly?

If you are married then you are her best friend, she sounds board so she is chattering about anything to make some sort of conversation small talk that’s all it is. Make the best of it give her a pet name that you only call her in privet and not around other people. I call my husband Booger and he calls me bunny butt.I know it sounds silly but it is kinda cute and fun when we are together. Good luck

I think you are being a little silly, but you would think one might save all that for conversation at home, where they might get a face to face response or even a lead to further topic/conversation.
Do you happen to be one of those silent husbands who don’t talk much, if so, she could be giving you something to think about for discussion when you get home.
Sounds like boredom to me, as though she hasn’t got a lot of work to do and few ppl to talk with…. hmm, hows the pay and are there any openings?

Normal. I am at my best for thinking and planning in the mid-afternoon. My husband gets hit up with a million little things around that time…it happens. We have been together for 19 years and married 12 – if I had to be all lovey dovey with him every time we spoke I think I might just vomit in my mouth. I do love him, we do have plenty of lovey conversations but realistically it just can’t happen with every one them…

It’s good to find the perfect mix in a marriage between husband/lover and best friend. It’s not silly, but also it’s not something that you should be worried about. It sounds like a normal marriage, day to day life. Marriage is awesome and fun, but it’s not like your honeymoon everyday. :-)

Lol, it’s ok what she’s doing, I sometimes text these things to my husband. However I dont text him w/ info about Christmas cards, haha. But I do it because he’s not only my husband, but my best friend. I will also text him occasionally w/ I Love You as well! But yes it is silly, she just wants to talk to you that’s all.

BigDaddy @ 8:12 pm #

Sounds like you have a close relationship and she is talking about what is on her mind at the time. If she never talks about anything serious, then you might have trouble because she might be saving those conversations for someone else.
Get used to the fact that you wife’s conversation will be all over the place.

kitty @ 10:10 pm #

I think that is ok. She does say she loves you? We are young and have been married for 3 years. Our normal daily stuff is like best friends because that is what we are. You have to have a best friend bond to the person you are married too otherwise it won’t work. I wouldn’t worry about it, I think you might be over-reacting.

oh for god’s sake, you have got to be kidding me. this is completely normal. even the happiest marriage has to break from the coo-ing baby talk and turn to real-life matters at some point. If she also stops sleeping with you, stops touching you, starts being rude or just not texting at all then start to worry. this is just stupid. no offense.

dreamwea @ 5:52 am #

Davey boy she loves you and is sharing her life with you so stop being so insecure spice up your life send her a card get some flowers buy some candles get her some sexy underwear cook her dinner relive the moments past my dear Happy Holidays I have been married for twenty five years oh yea tell her you love her more than anything in the world

Curious1 @ 7:31 am #

That’s perfectly normal. In many of our marriages the wife communicates to us primarily about things like that and there is no room for romance and things of that nature. It just naturally evolves into a business partnership.

Jawbone @ 7:53 am #

No its quite normal. I have been married over 15 years and the only time my wife contacts me during the working day by text is over chores and problems..e.g. call the plumber! , parcel didnt arrive, oil not delivered etc etc!!! All part of it Im afraid!

hlboin_2 @ 8:19 am #

I think these are just things she wants to know…She shouldn’t have to end everything she says with a lovebug statement for you to know how she feels…She’s at work..maybe she isnt feeling overly romantic just bored and trying to start up quick convos…i wouldn’t look to much into it.

Marriage is being both best friend and the pet names relationship. You just need to be aware that your marriage grows over time and you get a certain comfortableness which is very enjoyable. Theres no need for concern, this is wonderful!

Vikrant G @ 7:31 pm #

I think there is nothing wrong with your wife. She is perfectly normal but with a different attitude. You are expecting something else from her. Try to understand her and accept her as she is and then see you will get used to it. Wish u luck friend.

geneticb @ 11:26 pm #

It sounds like she is happy. I mean she is texting YOU and not someone else about what they want to have for lunch right? She is talking to you like your not just her hubby but her friend too…your lucky.

Sean C @ 7:27 am #

Awwww poor baby, Wife is talking about grown up things.
get used to it. It’s not all rainbows and sunshine all the time. I’m sure she still loves you even if she’s not calling you shmoopy.

=0 @ 9:15 am #

That is perfectly normal, in a marriage you share the typical everyday facts of life, it’s not all rainbows and kisses!

Christie Brucks @ 10:52 am #

that is perfectly normal. c’mon, she is not only your wife, she is your life partner. these are business concerns. just make sure to make time for the other things…like love and petting, lover boy!

Debbie s @ 11:13 am #

For her to be texting you at all at work says she loves you. Honestly,you should see it as a blessing that she also sees you as her best friend.

A @ 11:13 am #

You sound really immature,get a grip and stop expecting your wife to stroke your ego all the time,she will get sick of it/

Anonymous @ 2:48 pm #

if you want lovey dovey texts then take the initiative! lead by example.

:-) @ 6:40 pm #

Yes, it’s silly.

tanika97 @ 8:50 pm #

Yess It Is

angie @ 3:36 am #

stop being so needy if she didn’t love u she wouldn’t text at all

. @ 9:46 am #

Uh yeah that’s normal! Even in a happy relationship you have to deal with day to day stuff. My husband used to be all weird like you’re being so now when I tell him something mundane like how I something needs to be taken care of I’ll say something like “you need to see about getting your oil changed, you sexy beast!” Gets my point across, keeps him happy and honestly just makes me laugh b/c it’s just goofy!
Seriously stop worrying, be glad that you’re her best friend, and send her some lovey texts and I’m sure she’ll return the favor ;-)

bored_an @ 12:49 pm #

does it always have to be lovey dovey mate? wouldnt u get a bit sick of all of that after a while? and i mean, if they are always sending sweet messages, ur gonna get jaded and they wont mean anything or be special then if they were less frequent
partners talk and text about everything from sex to yeah, what they want on their hot dog for dinner
thats just communication. look at it this way at least she is texting u
its worse when they drop out ive been there myself
next time she texts u something boring like you mentioned, reply back with ‘i wanna eat ur p*ssy’ ha see what she says
best x
