It is getting quite excessive now to be honest, he got her down to one text a day, which she doesn't think is enough. I think by not working, her world has become very small. She goes to the supermarket every day to get tea for that night, rings them at work about 3 times to find out how it's going, or say if he has tickets that have arrived in the post, she rings to say they have arrived - like he couldn't just find out when he got home like a normal person? She has her routine and is very put out if it is changed, he nearly missed a train to see me once because his dad was late back and she couldn't possibly drive him to the station because she had to get dinner started so it was ready at the right time! She also rings her own mum several times a day, which will make it even harder to get through to her.
This is an actual quote from last week 'I have a really busy week next week, I'm getting my hair done on Monday, feet done on Weds and my nails on Thurs.. I might cancel my feet because I won't have time to get the shopping in for tea otherwise!' I just said to her )(as politely as I could) 'you could get it when you go shopping on Wednesday' to which she replied 'no I have to go every day, we can't fit it all in the fridge and it might go off'! I don't think she realises that most people who work full time have to go shopping once a week and decide beforehand what they need, and it all magically fits in the double-doored american fridge they have!
I've told him, if we get married and she texts us when we're on our honeymoon, I will throw his phone in the sea!
Thanks for your replies so far :)
