My H gets annoyed if I don't answer my phone or respond to texts/emails. Mosf of his fexts/emails do not need a response. The funny thing is that he never responds to things that I send and my emails/texts are only about logistics and require a response (i.e. can you confirm the dates of your conference so I can figure out coverage for kids). You can't control how your H will react. You choose when you feel comfortable responding.
