Feeling frustrated that I seem to be more interested in keeping in touch with DH's family than he is. For example, I regularly communicate with his sisters, and they with me, via email, text and Facebook. He does a bit, but less often. I regularly suggest he should phone the family to try to encourage him to have a chat with them now and again, but he doesn't seem that bothered, and they don't tend to phone either.
I realise everyone is different with amount you use the phone etc. but the really annoying thing is I think to ask them things (e.g. what have they been doing, how's things, when will we next see them), and end up having to report back to him. He finds it weird that he didn't hear first hand, but it's because he didn't ask! When I try to explain this he says they know where he is and will be in touch when they want him, but I think he needs to make more effort. It extends into other things too - e.g. I sort out birthdays, Christmas presents, remember important occasions we need to mark etc. and he thanks me for doing it but doesn't seem bothered if it doesn't happen.
The result is I feel annoyed at doing the leg work, and frustrated at poor communication on both sides, and just feel like the go between. He tells me not to do it then but I feel bad as I think it is very important to keep in touch with family.
How have others coped with similar situations?
