Could you schedule a time to Skype or FaceTime? For us, we don't text all day so that we can talk about our entire day on FaceTime before we go to bed. The scheduling aspect of it would maybe help your fear of calling at the wrong time or not having much to say. It sounds like he is trying to be helpful by not initiating, which the scheduling aspect could also help both of you with initiating the communication.
