Is it normal not to talk to my husband sometimes?

I know a lot of women who contact their husbands/boyfriends several times during the day, and vice versa and we don't do that.

My husband and I both have busy lives so we only really text/call when we NEED something (like, I locked myself out, I forgot my lunch at home, my car won't start, etc.). Not saying we don't talk when we see eachother, when we get together and have time, we are both chatterboxes. We tell eachother how are day went and it's all good. We may go days without a conversation "Good morning, Good morning, Love you, bye" but we are both busy workers and college students and when we do get together we have a good time.

But I seem to know more women that feel the need to constantly keep in touch with their husbands/boyfriends. Am I doing the wrong thing? Should I have to know what he is doing/where he is going if it is not relevant to my currect activities. I am sure that I love him, but I just don't feel the need to talk to him about things that are not important until we are face to face. We text eachother things that don't matter sometimes but usually it's just two or 3 messages every now and then...

Is it normal to not speak to me husband like this sometimes?

    I think it's good for couples to spend some time to themselves. Some couples talk 24/7 to each other and honestly, that would get on my nerves. As long as you communicate, then it's okay.

    The husband should appreciate you, a not so communicative woman

    there is a word for what your friend is OBSESSIVE she clearly doesn't trust her bf and feels the need to always know everything. now communication is key to relationships but if you have conversations at night about your day it might be nice to call on your lunch break and stuff but there shouldn't be a need to always know everything

      Obsession is one thing and communication during the day is another. I speak, txt and email my bf daily and I dont see myself as obssessive. I dont need to know his whereabouts nor who is he with.... I communicate with him just to let him know im thinking of him and miss him as he does aswell. Its always good to hear from your loved ones and makes the relationship stronger.

    Communication is the key to any relationship!! It's always good to communicate durning the day with your loved ones, even for a quick hello or I love you. It always brighten my day to hear from my bf that he misses me. #justsaying

      It's not that we don't do that, but I have female friends that are texting and calling a lot that always need to know where their boyfriends/husbands are at and ALWAYS need to spend time with them (get pissed off when their bf/husband is busy) and I need to know if it's normal not to.

        I guess some ppl are needer than other or perfer more communications with their significant other. As long as you both are ok with not communicating regulary during the day then no harm. Me on the other hand, love to txt, speak and email my bf during the day and he loves it!!!

    i say if it works for you two than it works.. although i do firmly believe that communication is key, finding time to do what you said (talk about your day, etc) can't hurt and I believe will make your bond much stronger
