I Just Like Talking to You

So my husband doesn't work again until monday. In case you didn't know he is on a TDY. He was out of the country but now is back in the US but in another state. I'm so frustrated. I've talked to him twice today and that's it. One of the times he was just skyping and talking to the kids and the second time was a little bit ago and he only talked to me for about 10 minutes before rushing to get off the phone to go eat. I miss him and I thought he was missing me so I don't understand why I'm now hardly hearing from him. I wait all day for a phone call or a text. I'm frustrated and overly stressed out with everything going on here without him and just want to know he's thinking about me. I want to know that he wants to talk to me as much as I want to talk to him.

  1. Don't take it to personal. Honestly its one of those things. If you spend so much time talking and just saying how much you miss eachother it makes his time go by that much slower. Plus Im telling you. Ive been both the member TDY and the home maker and Im telling you the homemaker is so much harder.

  2. Sorry you aren't hearing from him as much as you would like. I think it is hard on the guys having to say they miss you etc. all the time, they don't really like feeling all those feelings, know what I mean? Talking to him twice a day really isn't too bad. I know my husband and I decided when he was deployed that talking twice a week was really all we could handle, it made the time go by faster and then we also had MORE to say to each other than if we talked every single day. Sounds to me like maybe you two should talk about how much communication the other person needs/wants and come up with a compromise?

  3. I've been on both sides. And even now with my husband living/working in another state and only home every few weeks...I am the one that's always wanting to talk more. And I have felt that he just didn't want to talk. But, he explained to me that when we talk alot it's just more of a reminder to him that we are separated and it makes him miss us that much more. So, I'm willing to bet that your husband probably feels the same.

  4. Any distance is hard, and I'm sure he's missing you and I'm sure he's thinking about you. Sometimes it's hard not to take it personally, but chances are the two of you will have a chance to really sit down and talk soon and you'll realize just how much he really does miss you. Hang in there!
