Ok I'll step on the other side of the fence. When my husband (then boyfriend) was in boot camp he was unable to call, we wrote each other many many times a day. When he was able to call (long before interent or text messages) I hated leaving the house even for a short time because I never knew when he'd get liberty to call. I went for a walk with my friends and missed his call and I was devistated.

To this day when I'm visiting my mother or he's away on business he'll call first thing in the morning, when he gets off work and before he goes to bed. We'll text several times during the day. Just stupid stuff, what are you doing, how is your day going, I love you, etc. If I don't answer right away he'll call my mom's phone and if he doesn't I'll call my kids and ask "is dad sleeping?" A couple times a week he sends me an email from work saying I love you, I'll be at my computer for the next x minutes if I'm online.

The center of our universe is our children, before that it was each other. Maybe he put it out in public because he wanted to make sure you knew how he felt. I don't enjoy talking on the phone, but when we were seperated we missed each other very much, he was the first person I was looking for when I went online.

But multipixie is right, this is something you have to feel, you can't fake it. If you're not in the same place he is then you have to decide how to proceed.
