I know we've discussed this before, but remind me again why Waywards do this? When I went plan D and was running around w/ a lot of women, I still rarely talked to them on the phone.(maybe a quick text here and there lining up dates) It seems waywards(men too?!) LOVE to talk on the phone for hours and hours..What gives? What manly dude chats on the phone all the time. Maybe I don't get it? Maybe I didnt go wayward enough to be a phoneaholic...DUDE

Just a guess, but maybe many waywards are missing out on the EN of conversation and affection. Both of which can be provided through the evil cell phone. Seems like teenage behaviour being on the phone all the time. My WW is still in this phase.

My WH calls his girlfriend every morning at 4:45 am and talkes for 30 to 40 minutes, he also called several times throughout the day and always calls her and talks to her all the way home. I think it is because it is new and there is alot of excitment there. His phone bill was 30 pages just in phone calls.

Ugggh. Ok, I get it from the female side, but what dude wants to chat on the cell phone all the time? None of my friends chat on the cell phone, at all. They only want to text and even that is minimal. I'm the same way. I can't wait to get off the phone. DUDE

It truly amazed me , the number of calls and texts that were going back and forth. I think it is pretty pathetic. They are like kids.
It is sort of a "me and you against the world" deal, IMO. Just so incredibly sophomoric.

My husband, who HATES talking on the phone, would talk with me for hours when we were dating. And we lived 3 miles apart from each other. Of course, this was back in the mid 80's before cell and texting, so who knows what it would have been today.
When he had his EA a few years ago, he spent hours on the phone with her too.

A WH has to reel the OW in and most women like conversation. My H talked to xOW on the phone but it was mostly texts/IM. Dude, since you were in Plan D you weren't hiding like cake eater. A WS is trying to hide his real life and family from the OP so they do need to throw the lures out.

I think it is because it is new and there is alot of excitment there. His phone bill was 30 pages just in phone calls. When I first glanced at these comments, I read the word to be 'excrement'. I think MY word would've been more appropriate than cc's......... The chatting thing is so prevalent because in-person interaction can be harder to arrange. The ol' cell phone is easier. Safer. It's not a TRUE fix like visiting in person, but it holds over the WS. Maybe that's why the calls are longer and more frequent........ TB

My wife texted and talked to her OM all the time. Sometimes a dozen calls a day and as many as 800 texts in a month. Then there were the pix texts... I think affairs are like Adult Disney land. Just a big world of make believe where dishes don't need to be done and the kids don't have to get tucked into bed. It's where the weak go to pretend to be interesting and fulfilled. Shed responsiblity and hop on the rides - there is no tomorrow in Adult Disneyland!

WH and OW -- who now live together -- recently text photos of their -- er -- "privates" to each other. Talk about the mentality of the wayward! And STUPID them (or stupid me) -- the photos were also sent to his email account -- and I now have the Hustler spreads.
Never know what kind of deal I may be able to make with these in the courtroom or beyond. And it's not "revenge" Dude -- it's leverage and ammo.
So not only "massive amounts of phone calls/texts" but "STUPID" calls and texts.

Conversation is definitely an EN of people who spend a lot of time talking. My FWH was no different. But it wasn't always the content of the conversations so much as the contact with someone who was 'into' him, and the newness of the A. Then there was the fantasy that was built into what they were saying - all stuff that has been said by every high-school kid on their first crush.
Toward the end of the A, when OWH was starting to bombard H with threatening texts & emails, the phone calls really went down, as well as office contact. Suddenly things weren't so warm and fuzzy with the reality of the OWH in the picture.

It is pathetic and the volume is unbelievable but I did notice that even if they texted/IM called each other 500 times a day it wasn't much of a conversation and each text was only a few words. Yep, no, ok, love you, can't talk, later, miss you, xoxo, and other short phrases x 300...that's deep.

Tongue in cheek or not, this minimizes ... everything. What I meant was even during my RA, I would never chat on the phone with her. It was sort of professional. An email to my work or a quick text of when we were hanging out that night. No long drama phone calls...I think that is why I said I never got the "bug" completely. The madness that is waywardness. DUDE

Hunreds of texts with 2 or 3 words of mostly nonsense and loads about what they had watched on TV, what they had eaten and who was in the gossip columns. Real deep and meaningful..... NOT! My FWH had his phone switched to silent when in his A, but it did vibrate in his pocket when he got a text so maybe that is what he enjoyed.

The part about this that made me really REALLY 
was the phone records showing H would call me daily, usually once I had arrived at work, and have a 2 minute "Thinking about you" conversation with me ... and, once we hung up, an immediate 40 minute call to OW.
It happened time after time.
I figured out it was H's way of making sure I did not call him during his OW-time.
