Hi Jane,
Thanks for the comment! That makes sense. I think about 55% of the time our phone calls were a confused mass of ramblings :)

When I first started university, one of my lecturers wrote on the board:

7% = words
38% = tone of voice
55% = physiology (body language)

He was telling us that only 7% of our communication comes from the words we say and 38% from tone of voice. That’s 55% your missing out on when your on the phone!

So good on you for making it work with your husband.

Thanks MGL!

I’m still a little odd around the phone to be honest! Now all of our astronomical phone bills are care of my husband calling his family back home :)

Thanks for the visit.

I remember the whole phone debacle well.

Our experience was *before* as opposed to your’s being *after*, although I am sure they were as excruciating as each other.

Conducting a relationship via phone and computer is exciting, nerve wrecking and in fact quite scary all at the same time.

As usual you gave some wonderful and insightful advice.
