Sometimes when my wife is on a long call (over 30 minute call) or sometimes any call when I try to call her she won’t pick up the phone (waiting tone), I try again after 10 minutes and she still won’t pick up… I guess on the phone with her friend. When I send her an SMS asking if she is fine she replies.. “yes, everything is fine with me”. I don’t get it, If I were to be on a conversation and my wife would call me I would answer no matter what! and If I couldn’t answer i’d send an SMS notify her i’ll call her back once the conversation is over.
Is this normal?

Mine ignores me if I’m laying on the floor bleeding when she’s on the phone.
So yes, it’s normal.
Tell your wife that you are cancelling call waiting. No point since she won’t put the other caller on hold while she picks up the 2nd call.
My husband only had call waiting when his kids were teenagers living at home. It is rude to interrupt a conversation to answer another call, but teenagers tend to be on the phone all the time and their friends aren’t put off with holding a moment so that the ‘rents aren’t upset. Since you apparently have a cell phone and can text, just do that.
Yes. My husband is the same. Used to make me nuts. I used to wonder why he wasn’t concerned about me and why it didn’t occur to him I might need him immediately for something.
On the other hand, he thinks I’m a pretty smart cookie who is good at fending for herself and far more likely to call me for help than I am to call him for the same so… well…. I got over it. So what, really?
She’s confident in you being able to make it through the day and tell her about it over dinner. Doesn’t feel the need to constantly keep in touch. That’s actually a good thing. What are you calling her about all day? Are you checking up on her? That could be annoying.
Well she is of the mindset like a lot of people that the person you are talking to has 1% attention. She will get back with you. I hate it when people send me a email and right away walk over to make sure I got the email and was doing something about it. It’s insensitive…
It is normal for some people. Some people think it is rude to put their calls on hold. It isn’t like she is completely ignoring you, or she wouldn’t answer your text either.
Always remember…………pick your fights wisely.
2 can play this game so stop answering her calls all the time or right away and see how she feels about it
My ex used to do that too sometimes. Annoying. You feel like you’re being short changed.
