To expect my DP to call/text me while away?

[KissMyA]

My DP is away on business for a week. He left on Saturday. Yesterday I didn't hear from him once, so messaged him on Skype and got a reply saying 'in a meeting'

He just message me about an hour ago and I'm really annoyed. He said sorry for not contacting you yesterday, was really busy. But then went on to say he went to his boss' and wife's house and had an amazing dinner with them and another couple. It just upsets me he must've gone to the office, gone back to the hotel, gone back out to dinner and not thought of me once

Aibu to think he could've found 2 minutes of his time to send me a message? Or am I being a bit of a sap?

MabelLucyAttwell, we have 2 (twins) and my sister's LO (sort of temporarily but long term, due to my oldest sister's ill health - we live literally 2 streets apart though so quite a nice setup for her ).

Nothing anyone has said here makes me any less positive that the number of texts and communications between a couple is representative of how much affection or commitment each of the parties has, and/or that a lack of a text-type "check in" is a sign of it... and that the lack of one signals a lack of it.

I'm sorry, I just got over the checking in idea when I left my parent's home. I find some posts on here quite immature, tbh.

There's a difference between wanting to communicate with a loved one (and being able to), and feeling as if you have to.

I was PMSL when I read some of the comments about the "right" level of communication being posted by some on this thread. Surely the "right" level of communication is whatever the couple (BOTH parties) are happy with, and are capable of delivering, based on their job/employer/business trip at the time?

Woops that was meant to be:
