The one change that worked: I set my phone to ‘do not disturb’ three years ago – and have never looked back (www.theguardian.com)

I’m probably a nightmare to get hold of at a moment’s notice – and should never, ever be someone’s In Case of Emergency, much to my partner’s chagrin.

Any phone will allow you to still receive notifications for select contacts or numbers that call repeatedly in a given time frame with DND on so she's chosen to not be directly contactable by her partner or be his emergency contact. I would be offended by that if I was in his shoes, especially considering they have two young children.

I had to scroll too far for this. If your child is a school and there's an emergency, or your husband gets into an accident, or a million other very important things. You'll just get back to them whenever? This seems borderline neglectful.

I keep Do Not Disturb on most of the time and my wife can contact me at any time. Her and a few others are flagged as exceptions.

Most allow you to also nominate VIP contacts that always get through, he should dump her
