I'm not cooking dinner again.

Half the time dh is on the phone when we gets home from work.  Usually he hangs up and we eat. 

I try to have something ready when he get's home, even if it's simple. 

Last night he comes home, spends another 30 minutes on the phone and I eat alone. 

Tonight he comes home on the phone.  He hangs up shortly after.  We sit down to eat.  Less than a minute later the phone rings.  He answers it even after I ask him not to. I eat alone again.

Ugh!

It sounds like you need to sit down and have an honest talk about no phones at the table. If he can't give you 30 min to eat dinner together, then you guys need to reevaluate your dinner plans.

If he has to work, that's one thing but what you're doing obviously isn't working.

I told him he was being really rude.  He apologized.  


I said I get if that was an emergency call but it wasn't. It could have waited until dinner was over and that I felt like he was being ungrateful to the fact that I made dinner and had it ready when he got home.

Sorry.

I hear you. I've tried to stress to DH that taking 20 minutes to eat dinner as a family is really important to me. He grew up in a family where they rarely did that so he constantly plays on his phone or eats before I get home or leaves the table before the kids and I are done.

You guys need to have a honest talk about expectations and manners. What's the plan for when the baby is born? Will he still be spending so much time on the phone? It's seems like that could lead to a lot of resentment fast.
