To want get my dh's full attention once in a while....

[YummyorSlummy]

Basically my dh is on a detachment with the forces for 4 months and the only daily contact we have is a quick phone call which for him is in the middle of a corridor (so cant talk properly really) and half an hour internet access. The thing is, he goes on there and talks to his mates on msn aswell and I never feel like I have his full attention. Is it so wrong to want that when he's thousands of miles away? He says that i'm being controlling and that he misses his mates.I think I should be his main focus seeing as we have to be apart for months on end!

Half an hour a day is quite a long time to be just talking to 1 other person on line though. I'm not a great phoner though but if I had to "chat" or phone anyone for half an hour a day would run out of things to say. Face to face it's easy but I'm not surprised he also chats to mates on msn. Don't your conversations get a bit samey and circular after a while?
I've never understood people who have long phone or msn conversations with people every day. I start to feel like a prisoner if I'm on the phone for longer than 10 minutes.

I know what u mean 2rebecca and under any normal circumstances I woulnd't be expecting to talk to him exclusively for that long. The thing is I don't feel like I ever run out of things to say to him because I can't see him. Its the only time I get to talk to him about how our ds is doing,what Iv been up 2, what he's been up 2- basically normal things that we'd talk about at home on an evening. And because I cant see him for 4 months its the little bit of comfort that helps me through it- so I wish he'd seem like he wants to talk to me aswell.
