to expect my dh to keep in contact?

[sportscandy]

He works away during the week, often for 2 weeks.This time it is for 3, and he NEVER bothers to phone or text us at all. I know I could call him, and do sometimes, but I think that he should at least call his own children each night.So would you put up with it?

Why doesn't he? I certainly would.

is he away for 3 solid weeks? doesnt he come home at weekends?

not that it makes any difference, i would still expect a phone call everyday, just to make she he was ok, and for him to make sure everything is ok your end.

Where has he gone? Is he staying in a hotel? Can you contact him?

No, I don't think you are BU. I'd expect a call or at least a text over that time from a live out boyfriend, never mind a DH with whom I had children!

I would want him to contact on a daily basis - surely he wants to know what is going on too. Even when there is a time difference you should be able to find some time each day.

What about emails or texts?

Does he mind if you do not contact him?

this annoys me with my dp although he does make some form of contact once a day if not more

but he is so busy with work but if he hasnt bothered it upsets me as i think surely you'd think about your family miss them and wonder how they are

yanbu if he doesnt bother at all then i would want to know why surely he misses you guys whats his reason?
