Hang up

My husband does this thing at the end of a phone conversation. It might be because he is British. He initiates ending the conversation, like this for example:

Him: Okay honey, well I gotta get going. I have this (very importantish thing) to do.

I go along, willing to end the conversation because I have nothing important to add, but expecting what is going to happen next.

Me: Alright then, I will talk to you later.

This is when most people say "Okay, bye" and hang up right? Cause that is not what happens next with G.

Recap:

Him: Okay honey, well I gotta get going. I have this (very importantish thing) to do.

Me: Alright then, I will talk to you later.

Him: Okay, oh hey, did you check the mail?

Me: Yes, there are a few bills.

Him: Okay, I really gotta run.

Me: Alright honey, see you later on. Love you.

Him: Love you too... Oh hey, did you hear about Jill?

Me: Yeah, sounds terrible huh...

Him: I know! Can you imagine. Oh no! It's raining! I gotta go!

Me: Okay, Bye

Him: Oh hey honey, did you ever get a hold of your mom about tomorrow?

Me: Yeah, she said it is fine.

Him: Okay. Talk to you later.

Me: Okay, bye...

Him: How is the baby?

Me: He is playing with his blocks. He is in a good mood.

Him: Okay honey, I really have to go.

Me: Okay, bye

Him: Okay, bye! Love you

Me: Love you too.

There is a minimum of 4 attempts to end the conversation before it actually ends. He just loves me so much he can't hang up...
