Is it weird that I've had no contact from dp all day?

Dp has gone away to a work awards do/party today. He had to be at work really early as they were having breakfast laid on then were being driven to a hotel about an hour and a half away.
I sent a text on my lunch break to ask how it was going and he replied 'ok a bit boring really' but that's it! That's the only contact we have had all day. If it was me going staying in a nice hotel I'd text him about the room and food and how it was going in general or give him and the dc's a quick ring when alone in the room. I know he was allowed a little downtime and had time to do this.
Now I'm not clingy and don't suspect anything dodgy and I'm not pissed off but just think it's strange that he's not thought to ring or text.
I would.

Got a photo message at 1.30am! He reckons he couldn't get a signal and that's why it came through then. He was in work provided fancy dress hence the picture.
I think we have grown apart recently so that's why I was so bothered by it and didn't know if I was being daft or if others would take issue with it iykwim.

Secret - It took me an awfully long time to realize that if I just waited, the answers to lots of things would come to me naturally. Getting upset and questioning everything very rarely helps unless it prods you to change something. And yes, men don't seem to need to communicate quite as much as women - in general - don't flame me here!! There are exceptions, of course. And I do live in an area that often can't get a signal..... so I've had to learn that sometimes I don't hear from someone for a while and it means nothing. Do try to relax. You'll feel better, and probably he will, too.

Listen to your instincts if you feel you're growing apart and think what you can do to make changes. Babysitters? More evenings in with the tv off? Sitting down and having a good heart-to-heart about what the real situation is?

If a bloke did ring and discuss the interior with you etc etc he would be a gay man! TBH he probably wouldn't have noticed what it looked like. Pump him for info when he gets back and see how far you get --"What colour was the carpet...? Er...I dunno a browny greeny blue sort of colour".....

See if he chats about it when he gets back or maybe he will be too tired or say it was all boring anyway. If he is in the mood for talk, show you are interested but not in a paranoid "where there any attractive women there" kind of way.
