[quote=Anonymous]Both DH & I travel internationally for work. With time differences and crazy meeting schedules because you're trying to get as much done as possible in a short trip, it can be hard to have a live conversation BUT texting when you arrive and then being AWOL for days is unacceptable, IMO.

There are so many ways to communicate, there's really no excuse to not reach out daily.  You can make little Skype video messages of 3 min or less at a time that's convenient for you that your spouse can to view later. When either of us is traveling, we normally send a quick "here's what my day will look like" note in the morning then do a more thorough message in the evening. When we can connect without some one having to stay up til 2am to have a conversation, then we do but sleep, health, and caring for the kids while solo all trump that. On DH's most recent trip, there was a serious issue with one of the kids and I had to decide in his absence, so there were more late night chats to talk that out - both DH & I sacrificed some sleep to make that happen. But in the absence of a major issue, the more casual messages work for us.

Anyway, I think you're well within reason to ask your husband to find a solution that works. It doesn't have to be a call or a text, it can be something during his hours, but it can't be nothing. [/quote]
