[quote=Anonymous]I'd go a different direction. I'd try somehing like "I don't want you feeling like you never hear from me so why don't we set up a designated time or day when I'll check in each week. That way you can know when to expect to hear from me (and that I'm making it a priority) and if we talk more, or you want to call me, that's all bonus time." And then I'd set a standing weekly slot - maybe every Sunday morning or something (whatever works for you most easily) and make a BIG deal about dedicating that time, making it a standing commitment etc... And I'd promptly take at least one call of my list every week. A guaranteed weekly check-in in exchange for more frequent, perhaps less predictable calls. It's really just a sneakier end run around the emotional manipulation, but maybe a way to do it without being as directly confrontational.[/quote]
