Dear Queenie,
My husband expects me to look at the caller ID and take his calls right away no matter what I am doing. I think I should give my complete attention to the person I’m talking to at that moment.
I do try to call him back as soon as the conversation I’m in the middle of is finished, but he thinks I should put him first, especially because he has a very busy schedule and he only calls me once a day.
Queenie, is he right?—Phone Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
Ordinarily I would agree with you that the person you are already talking to should take priority. However, this is your husband, and you know how busy his schedule is, so in this particular case – for the sake of your marriage – I will agree with him.
You can always explain the situation to the other person and then call them back when your conversation with your husband is done.
