A text is not talking. Talking is using your vocal cords, tongue, and lips to form intelligible sounds. If you don't know the difference, I don't know what to say.

It's also amusing that you think I wouldn't divorce for a gross violation of privacy. If my husband doesn't trust me, I don't want to be with him. I don't need him, my salary is 4 times his. I'm with him because we have love, respect, and trust. The OP of this thread has none of these. [/quote]

that's right, a text is not talking. She does not talk to her husband while she travels 2 months of the year. Its fine if you want to divorce your husband for gross violation of privacy. But perhaps before that happened, he indicated that he wanted to hear from you while you traveled 2 weeks straight and you would make an effort to be in touch.

Love, respect and trust go both ways. It doesnt sound like OP's wife displays love or respect if she basically goes awol for 2 weeks at a time, 4 times a year. Now, if he has never indicated that this is an issue, maybe she is clueless. But she is making up all kinds of vague excuses, like poor wifi, tired, etc. At a certain point this seems to wear thin. Even if you are not doing anything but crashing fully clothed in your hotel room, if your spouse indicates that he/she/the kids would appreciate a phone call every few days, then you do it.

I feel like a lot of people are defending the wife, but if some wife came on here saying "my husband travels for weeks at a time, barely keeps in touch, refuses to call or facetime because of "thin walls" a lot of people would automatically assume he is cheating. I dont assume OPs wife is cheating, but I do assume she is ignoring her husband and not making what is a minimal effort to communicate. (and if there is some security reason that she cannot communicate, then she says so: I am in a place where I cannot make outgoing calls, etc. But she seems to have no problem forward emails so this is not lockdown).
