FIRST! My apologies to all of my site brothers...this isn't meant to insult....but my observation over time has been that men have different schedules and needs when it comes to communication...Like us...they want to feel that you're there for them, but their capacity for active communication is different...so my advice is not to be hurt or insulted, but to consider that his ability to juggle his parental responsibilities and his relationship with you is simply different (but no less committed)...Just a personal observation....Good Luck! grace
