I am based around 300 miles from my home town and family. As a family we'd planned to come back to my home town for new year and stay a 4 or 5 days.
Husband suggested he get flight back to where we live after a couple of days whilst I stay on with the kids so that he can watch a football match that was on this evening and then catch up with something's that need to be done around the house. He flew back last night around teatime. We have 3 children (7,6,4)and he knew our 6 year old was upset at him leaving and as such spoke to him and myself briefly on the phone before bed last night. I initiated that call. The football match he wanted to watch was this evening, he hasn't been working today and but despite this hasn't taken anytime out his day to send a text or ring today.
You might wonder why haven't I rang him and the main reason for this was to see if he would bother ringing me. I had felt pissed off slightly a few months ago when I was away for my grandmas funeral and despite the funeral being at 8.30am in the morning their was no text or phone call until 10.15pm that night. Have I got unrealistic expectations of what married life is about or is it too much to ask to expect a text or phone call once a day?
