[quote=Anonymous]OP, do you and your H communicate regularly when he's away? Does he do Facetime with the kids? My H traveled often when the kids were little, usually not too far (2-3 hours) but occasionally to India. When he was away, we texted often and we all did Facetime daily. I'm just wondering if you guys don't really connect when he's away, especially him not connecting with the kids, that says a lot about what's going on here. And don't take "meetings" or "time zones" as an excuse for not connecting...my H would set an alarm to wake up at 4am in India so he could say good night to us. Concrete actions like that made me less upset about him being so far away, and showed me that he recognized the effort I was putting in. And in return when he did come back from India exhausted, I didn't expect him to immediately be all-in on child care because I recognized how tiring international travel can be. Anyway, my point is how you both communicate with each other while he's away could say a lot.[/quote]
