So her boyfriend thinks it's disrespectful to talk to another man in his presence? You don't see an issue with that? That is a very obvious sign of abuse.
Something is not right there.
But I thought that once she gets home that is THEIR TIME to spend together which is why it never bothered. I know that we can't talk on the phone like we used to which is why I am never bothered, Seems strange to me to pick up the phone and call a male friend while your man is home

It's not strange to chat with a female friend when your man is home. Why would it be strange to talk to a male friend, as long as it doesn't happen too often? Catching up on news once/month is reasonable.

If your husband (or wife) has a problem with their spouse calling or talking to someone of the opposite sex, then you married the wrong person.....you married someone who needs to get over their jealousy issues.

That's the problem, most people are too polite to complain, but it's extremely annoying. My wife's sister does it 1-2 times a week, and my wife complains - to me. I tell her to just not answer.
First, it's like she doesn't care enough to call unless she's driving because the rest of her time is too important. Second, the abrupt ending: OK, I have arrived, Bye.
Then there's the fading in/out when the bluetooth to cellphone has problems depending on where the car is.

Yeah the conversation does end instantly once they get to their destintation lol

Just because it's extremely annoying to you, that doesn't mean it's extremely annoying to everyone. I'm sure the people I call would be much more annoyed by the call from my living room dropping multiple times.
I don't have rules for what my friends are doing when they call me.

I do all my calling in the car. I have to because the cellular service in my house is crappy and I'm constantly dropping calls.
It's one reason to still use land-lines at home, but I know those used to using cell phones more don't usually have a land-line nowadays. In a place that has Earthquakes, there should be a land-line available to use when service is restored.
