We've been married over 20 years and over the last couple DH has been doing a job which means 1-2 nights away most weeks.
He calls every evening to speak to me and DCs. The boys often don't want to stop doing what they're doing to talk to him, but more worryingly, I often find I have nothing much to say. Unless DSs have come home with some news from school, it can actually be quite hard.
Tonight for instance, I have only been to work and done some housework since I saw him this morning, so don't have any news of my own but if he was here we'd happily chat over dinner etc. It's just on the phone we have nothing to say to each other. Is that normal?
