I spend a lot of time with my wife but when I go to work I only call one
time a day. Dave is talking about 8 to 10 times between them. That is
obsessive. Affects concentration and work performance too.

I work with a guy that is similar. Texting numerous times aside, he used
to leave work at lunch to take her a coffee where she worked. He could
stay at the shop and have a paid lunch, but instead he left and gave up
5 hours of overtime pay a week. That coffee cost him about $7,000 a
year in lost wages.
