[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think just ask him to schedule a check in call.

Was any of that stuff asking him to do anything, or were you just texting him updates?[/quote]

OP- yes, [b]I need answers about schedules[/b]. I work FT too. I can't just put my life on hold while he is offline for a week.[/quote]

With all due respect, do you need an answer before he comes back from Scotland? I'm a woman and I'm definitely a planner so I appreciate the need for answers about schedules, but if my husband is indisposed (whether traveling for work, hanging out with his friends, sick, whatever), I will try not to bug him about logistics until he is available to answer. He does the same for me - when I am busy with work stuff that's more demanding than normal, or if I'm away with my friends for the weekend, he will hold off on discussing things that aren't immediate needs.

You can certainly tell him that the change in his responses to you is upsetting, but requesting that he text you back on a Tuesday night about a summer plan that could just as easily be discussed on Thursday is going too far. Have you ever traveled for work? We both do, and I find that when I'm gone I appreciate being able to focus on what I'm doing and grab moments of relaxation where I can, so I grant the same to my husband. It's possible your husband is spending more time at pubs getting to know his new team (hopefully in appropriate ways). If that's the case then I'd give him some more grace.[/quote]
