Listening to Lily Allen's song I asked my wife, "Do you want me to call you 15 times a day?"
The answer came back, "No"
So what do you think?
Is it a sign of caring, or insecurity?...or may be control?
it's a sign of a good mobile battery and minutes/text package.

ooo now this is an interesting one, and thinking back to previous relationships, i'd say it could b all 3 depening on the person.
The result would be the same though, i'd feel trapped, hemmed in, and even if it was done in the caring sence, eventually I know I would start to feel untrusted.
A txt, phone call every now and again, saying 'love you' etc means so much more.
I new a guy who set his girl friends phone up to forward calls to his own if it was not answered. His phone went to his own answer phone. Sounded like a lack of trust to me.
We speak to each other a fair few times during the day, we ring each other once or twice (but usually for a reason not just to chat) and we often send "love ya" texts or emails. I can't say it's all the time though, some days we rarely speak lol
It's not about trust for us though (or lack of) it's more a "thinking of you" type thing for us.
Mate of mine calls his wife non stop when we are away together, he is very insecure.
My wife would kill me if I called her 15 times a day... I think in the first flushes of exhuberant love you do tend to speak a lot of...erm... fluff to each other. But over time pragmatism kicks in and you tend to keep things down to a minimum, though it's always nice to get an "I love you" or "You're damn sexy" message as opposed to "Can you check the dog hasn't vomited in your sock drawer again" messages that tend to be the norm after many years of being shackled together.
Depends on the situation: fifteen smutty, horny, promising little chats to build up a bit of sexual tension during the day, maybe. But fifteen controlling where are you/who are you with/what are you doing tupe of chats or texts a day and no, I'm outta there.
I never wanted a mobile phone - couldn't imagine a reason to have one in my normal life. My husband (at the time) insisted I get one. Then every time I was out in town or whatever - would ring me asking why I needed to be out so long and when I was coming back.
That was controlling. He used my mobile - which I was paying for by the way - as a leash. I LOATHED that and stopped answering or responding to texts while I was out - and then he got really narked.
So it's not the number of calls, it's the intent behind them.
No no no. I had a obsessive type woman who called me a few times a day. More so when she was feeling particularly weird. I also had one of those loud ringing phones back in the 80's. It was deafening and sent the fear of god through you, knowing who was likely to be on the other end.
I never said, did I?
I manage with a call a day, sometimes less, if I have something to say, more than once.
