To expect DH to be in contact somehow when he is away for most of the week?

[pinkbubble]

We have 3 DDs - 8yrs, 10yrs and almost 14yrs. DH has always gone away, part of his job, not great but have got used to it and we all accept its part of his job.
Up until the last 8 or so wks, when ever he was away he always rang- most evenings, if he couldn't ring then he would send texts. On the odd occassion he would send an E mail.

When he left on Sunday evening, I specifically asked him to ring as we all missed him and wanted to talk to him. He said he would try but when he is away he is really busy! all day and all night!

I have no idea if he got to where he is going, for all I know he could be anywhere.

Am I being unreasonable to expect some kind of communication? He always used to manage somehow!

I travel a lot, and although sometimes I can't call every day due to the time differences, or its the sort of thing where literally I'll have had no time to myself between 6am and 12 midnight. But I'll always find a minute to write a text (even in the loo) everyday.

I wouldn't be very impressed in this behaviour from my DH I have to say.

Is he having an affair?

Obviously I do not know for sure that he is not having an affair.

I would be very surprised if he was. In all the 20 yrs we have known each other he has never strayed before.

Still have not heard from him!

Pinkbubble, coincidentally my dh is in Poland too and I have not heard from him for a couple of days, which is not like him.
Perhaps Poland is having communication difficulties (have already checked news to make sure it hasn't been hit by asteroid :-))

DH rang about 6pm this evening and spoke to DD1 and DD2. He then rang back after 7pm and spoke to DD3. Think he must be feeling a bit guilty. DD3 was absolutely gorgeous on the phone, telling him all what she had got up to at sch and Brownies. DD1 ended her time by telling him she loved him!!! DD1 does not show emotion!!!!

Did ask him why he hadn't rang, all he said was that he had been really busy, working late in evenings etc. is what I say and I told him so too!
