What would you think if your significant other rarely calls you?

Im very busy and not needy but sometimes I look up and its been 2 days since my spouse has called me. ( we are frequently apart due to my travel) #1 I think its a safety issue. Im globe trotting hustling for dollars while he sits at home or at our investment property waiting on deliveries. What if a stranger stabs me. How long before he would realize?
I usually call him several times per day but if I stop the calls stop too.

If it were me I’d call my spouse every day. Probably twice or three times

I’m not dogmatic about it, but I prefer to communicate with my partner everyday or every other. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Might be worth a chat when you get back. Sometimes people get too comfortable in complacency and just need a nudge

@DamnFeelz Yes too comfortable. He says , "well you are the only one who knows when you aren't busy, so I wait for you to call me"

That’s fair. It’s hard and discouraging when there’s an inconsistent schedule @REMsleep

I'm so used to that kind of thing that it doesn't bother me that much but never will like it

Ask him to call you at least once a day, preference for nights. 🙋🤗🤗

Have you asked him?
REMsleep · 41-45, F
@Carissimi Yes he says that he "does call me" and " Im the person who is busy so it makes sense that I call him"
I haven't verbally spoken to him in 2 days and he was asking for something at that time. I sent him a picture last night of my plane landing and he replied, "OK". That was almost 24 hours ago.

Does not sound good to me, but what is he like when you are home together? @REMsleep

When I was married, calling my wife was inappropriate because my desk was in the middle of where patients were, and we weren't allowed cell phones because of privacy laws.
REMsleep · 41-45, F
@MySecretIdentity1 Well your case is understood but you could text right? My husband doesn't work outside the home.

They don't like the telephone...or they just aren't that into me. Tough call.

Even though we see each other every day, one of us will call when we are out.

He wouldn’t be my significant other!

It does sound like something’s been lost there

Depends on the situation. I would have liked a sign of life occasionally, but in general I'd be fine with the occasional breathing space. Some smaller periods of not actively talking together. I do need a bit of room and a bit of downtime every now and then to avoid overload, and there is a certain chance a potential partner would be the same.

If I weren't satisfied with the situation (like feeling my partner didn't reach out enough) I'd talk to my partner about it.
