I travel a fair bit for my job, leaving DH at home holding the fort (he hates travel). I can be away for anything from 1 night to 2 weeks (I refuse to do longer trips). We talk at least twice a day (roughly morning and evening) and I try to talk to DS at least once a day, although time zones can make this tricky. I cannot imagine NOT talking to them every day, it would be awful!

Damn, how can i get one of these jobs for my OH!!!! I'd love the bed to myself just once

dh or I are usually apart Mon-Fri. Either he's on location or I am.
As we're in business together some days we can talk briefly about work 6-7 times a day.
We only talk personally once a day in the evening.
What gets me though, is when I'm away I phone every night at 6pm to speak to the boys. Dh has never ever rung just to speak to them.

Anything from once a day by email or phone to upto 3 weeks at worse. But then my hubby does not always have access to a phone or internet for weeks on end when he is away.

But even when he is in the UK away on a course for a week or 2 he does not calll home every night if he is busy studying. Maybe twice a week! But I know how to get hold of him if I needed to in an emergency or something.

Once a day (usually try to time it so he can speak to the dc's)

He's usually away Sunday - Friday

If he's bored he'll text/email me.

I usually try to make contact every day but I'm only away infrequently, on the US west coast.

Catching the kids before they go to bed can be tricky but I always feel a bit guilty if I don't. I've used Skype in between meetings etc which works well provided my DW has left her laptop on.

My D works away every other week and he rings at lunchtime and then again in the evening to speak to DS.

My husband has always worked away from home (was a Merchant Navy captain & now works on oil rigs)for the past 12 years.
He calls home every night.Also,get a few emails throughout the day,too.

i dont live with dp so sometimes we dont see eachother 1-2 weeks at a time. but we speak at least once a day and always text good morning and good night

Like Cat64, we have very rare phone calls here.

DH is actually away at the moment. I have not heard from him yet and really do not expect to. There is the time difference and also the fact that evening meals and drinks are part of the job he is out there to do so it would be difficult to find a good time to ring us.
Having said, that, I know that he will try to keep his mobile on and if there is a problem will answer or at least read texts. On occasion he emails, but again mainly in response to questions that I email (where are lightbulbs? what time do you land? where are firelighters, etc).

I am away about as much as he is and I might ring late at night, but that is because I know that he stays up late. Since I am in bed by ten and very grumpy if woken up, DH does not follow the same pattern.
