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?

2 hours drive is really not that long - if he really wanted it to work he could come home some nights and maybe you could drive up to see him sometimes.

It does sound as if he has another life away from you - sorry.

for you. It sounds as though you and the kids deserve better. What about you? Do you have a good support network around you? What does your DH do in the evenings and at weekends?
