Husband rarely contacts me

[frankiesamson]

While he's away, he rarely texts me. I seem to be the one doing it & he'll reply. If I don't do it for a few days (v difficult emotionally for me), he asks what's wrong.

I had to actually ask him to please text me "good morning & goodnight" (something automatic in past relationships). I feel a bit like he doesn't really miss me. I've spoken to him about it, and he says "I'm quite a logical person. I function in my life normally with or without you. It doesn't mean I don't miss u or love u."

I'm starting to question what I actually need from this relationship - I'm convinced everyone reacts differently to different partners & that he just doesn't have strong feelings for me...

not sure I need someone this logical... maybe I prefer an emotional person like me. My heart feels so ripped out all the time with this.

Maybe you need to read that book about the different languages of love

Maybe HE should read that!

I don't think you're asking too much, here, OP. I think it's normal to want contact with your partner and for them to instigate it as well as you. Did he used to do this?

I never text after I leave home . My DH knows I love him - why would he need to be reassured about it all the time ? We're both adults , not teenagers. Maybe your DP feels the same way.

Birdie, so u never contact him again if u go away for a month? Bizarre.

I'm talking about my husband being away for a few weeks.

Thanks so much for the replies :) I checked and he didn't used to be like this when we first met. Perhaps due to honey moon period?
