How do you get your DH to call you?

Posted Sunday, January 27, 2008 5:35 AM

I'm so annoyed right now.  My new DH - we've been married just over 3 months now - is on his annual guys' ski trip out west.  We're really close and so in love...  The problem?  Every time he goes on this trip (3 times now since we've been together), he barely ever calls me (and he's gone about 6 days, usually).  Even when I travel for work, which is pretty regular, I call him every night to check in.  Nothing big or long winded usually, but a quick chat and that's it.  He also IMs me regularly at work, so we get a lot of stuff out at that time too.

This year he's just gone 4 days, and he's only called me once (first day gone).  I sent him a text message on day 2 and never heard from him.  Now it's day 3 and still no word.  I'm kind of against calling him at this point, because I think I'll blow up on the phone (plus I'm PMS-ing right now).  I know there's another guy on the trip who calls his wife about 4 times a day, and that's excessive...but come on, can't DH just put the apres-ski beer down for one minute to send a text?  I've told him the other years that I hate not hearing from him, but I think he 'forgets'.  The other issue this year is that I'm going on another work trip on Monday, which means I'll pick him up at the airport Sunday night late, spend about 2 hours with him before I have to turn in, so I can get up at the crack of dawn on Monday and go on this business trip for 5 days.  I just feel totally ignored at this point.  I know part of this angst is PMS, and I'm at home getting over a bad cold...but now what?

Have you experienced this before???

I think you should just call him.  There are definitely times DH has forgotten to call me.  Before he had a cell phone, I would get really upset because I couldn't reach him and I was worried about him.  Now, I just call him if I want to talk (and he always leaves his phone on).  I realize that he really just doesn't remember to call and he's always happy to hear from me.  I think the PMS is making you overreact (and I know how that can be).  Just call him.

I agree with isilly - just call.  Since he is the one who forgets ... and you want a daily check in, just assume it's your responsibility to place the call.  Or talk to him and agree on a daily check in time & that YOU'll call him daily because you love him and are interested in hearing about his day and NEED to hear his sexy voice to get you to sleep or something.  ;)  PMS definitely makes BIG issues out of little ones, but even without PMS, I'd still like to know my DH wasn't involved in a skiing accident and covered by an avalanche!  lol  Good luck!

Girl your doing better than me PMSig or not I would be blowing him up at this point, mainly b/c i was so pissed and really not even wanting to talk to him at this point b/c of that. Call him and just let him know that you would like for him to call you and just check in each day, if nothing else to check to see how you are doing since your home alone.
