I think he is doing this on purpose just to piss me off! *edit*
This week the argument was about me not answering my phone... while I'm in class!!! We have gone over this issue at least 2 times before... We already came up with a solution, which was DON'T call me while I am in class unless it is an emergency. That's reasonable right? I never turn my phone off during class, I just put it on silent just in case there is an emergency. Well, on Monday he sent me a text during class asking me some random insignificant question. I saw the text but did not answer because I don't want to text in class, besides it was not an emergency! He then proceeds to call me 7 times in a row. The whole class can hear my phone vibrating in my bag... The teacher asked if I needed to take the call and I said no. (my professor understand that I have a family and emergencies may arris while in class, that is why he says I can have my phone on vibrate) After class I called him back and he was pissed at me for not answering! WTF He tried to give me all these new conditions like: if you can't answer while in class just send me random letters so I know you are busy... NO! That is stupid! I am ALWAYS busy when I am in class! Just don't call unless there is an emergency! That has ALWAYS been the rule, why are you trying to change it now? He said we have never set guidelines for this situation. UMM yes we have!
Anyways, today I had my final exam. I sent him a courtesy text telling him that I was going to be in class from 1-3 and not to call me unless it was an emergency. He said ok. Guess what he did... He called me at 2! Thankfully I had JUST finished my exam and was walking out. He gets a pissy attitude with me because I am annoyed that he called me when I told him not to! WTF! How could he forget?
The issue here is NOT me having my phone on vibrate while in class SMDH... The issue is that my DH forgets every issue that we talk about! I know SOME of you ladies like to focus on the small details rather than the whole. Can you try to see the bigger picture here, instead of focusing on why my phone is on vibrate instead of off?
Quoting lhiannan:I ALWAYS leave mine on vibrate in class in case there is an emergency with my kids. It has always been fine with my professors (I always let them know at the beginning of the semester).
Quoting Anonymous:Turn your phone off when you don't want to be reached. Phones should be off in classes anyway. To leave them on is unbelievably rude.
This issue isn't about the phone being on vibrate, people. She told her professor and they were ok with it. Its about her dh who can't remember or chose to remember when she is in class.
I would havea huge talk with him. Lay down the law with him. Let him know he is to never call you again during class. Use some stern words with him to let him know how serious you are. Also, the solutions you came up with previously, did your dh come up with those solutions or did you? Maybe if he comes up with something, he might remember?
Also, he might have a short term memory problem. Sounds like he needs to talk with his dr about this. It can be a problem. Then again, maybe not since you sent him a text to let him know you were in class and he proceeded to call you anyways. Sounds like he doesn't care.
Smh.....talk about juvenile petty BS.

Is he Autistic or have Aspergers (sp?)? because this sound like a classic grown man with it.
He is NOT forgetting. He is controlling. Don't let him play head games with you. How long is class? Make sure you children are safe, give their caretakers the number to the school OFFICE in case of a real emergency, and turn your phone off during class. Oh, my EX pulled this same stuff.........only I was at work.
That's the ugliest name everrrr!!!
