Are these sentences correct?

1) I haven't talked to my wife in three days, which is something you do regularly.

2) I haven't bought a lottery ticket, which is something you always do.

3) I will pay John a visit tomorrow, which is something I should have done yesterday.

1. Why is the listener speaking to your wife regularly?
2. As long as the listener regularly buys a lottery ticket, that's fine, although I'd prefer "regularly/often" to "always".
3. Correct.
 
It seems like the second one is saying that not buying a lottery ticket is something "you" always do. (I am also in the habit of not buying lottery tickets. 😊)
