As many know, my DH and I moved Sept 01/13 and have now been in our new place for 3 months. We have both found full time employment, and we continue to follow the program and Dr. H's advice. My question is work related - I am a nurse and am working in one of four clinics owned by a group of doctors. I do have after hours contact numbers for the doctors, as well as the office manager and all the receptionists, should emergencies come up etc. I've never had to use the numbers until now. Tomorrow's clinic was scheduled to start at 11:00, that was at 4:00 today when the doctor left, however I had to put a patient in at 10:30. The doctor's have all said it's fine to get in touch with them after hours for just this reason and of course strictly for work related issues. Is it ok to text the doctor to tell him he needs to come at 10:00 instead of 11:00 with the schedule change? I'm not comfortable calling, texting seems a bit more "impersonal" to me. I would of course talk to my DH and let him know, show him the text - I'm soooo scared to do something wrong and mess up our recovery, I just want to handle it properly so that our EP's remain strong, and since communicating with the opposite sex was an EP, does this mean I can't? And if I can't how do I let him know? As a side note all the doctors and my office manager are aware of our situation and my past - I felt I needed to be transparent with them, so that questions of why I couldn't attend work functions after hours if DH was working, travel for continued education without him etc. Advice please??? I'm in a panic. Sorry it's do long - I hope it makes sense.

My wife and I have a "no texting" EP, and even after 2 1/2 years, communication by texting would bother me. This situation is one for POJA. I would first tell your husband what the problem is, and seek his opinion on how to handle it. Being RH about the need for the communication and finding a mutually-acceptable solution is the way to go. Don't just decide something by yourself.
Is there a female coworker who could relay such messages for you?

I haven't been able to get ahold of DH, so what I did was text my office manager - who is female, and knows about everything and just asked her to relay the message. I'm not sure how DH would feel, but until we can talk about it - your right MrEureka, I didn't want to make that decision alone.

I agree. This is definitely a POJA situation with your DH. Put a plan together for all scenarios that you may think will happen. It sounds like a good boundary to have is to ask a female coworker to relay the message.
