Hi hun,
Laura is spot on, men just don't pick up on the little things like we do and yes it does p**s us off! Really do think their brains just work different to ours when it comes to stuff like this, doesn't sound like he's doing this deliberately to me or he wouldn't make the effort when you bring the subject up. Maybe it just doesn't come naturally to him to ring/text you, men can be really singleminded and if he's got his head stuck in something else it may well not occur to him to get in touch. Know that thought might be hurtful but it really doesn't mean he loves you any less, men just don't seem to be able to think of more than one thing at a time! I'm not excusing him cos this is obviously upsetting you and it wouldn't hurt him to make a bit more effort (even if that means setting reminders on his fone to call you!) but it would be a shame if this spoilt what is (from what you've said) otherwise a good relationship. No-one is perfect and it's sometimes easier to just stop letting these things get to you if you love your partner. There are things my husband does (or doesn't do!) that would wind me up if I let them but they're little things and I've come to the conclusion they don't really matter. He would never do anything to intentionally hurt me and I know how much he loves me so, if he's a bit half-soaked from time to time, I figure I can forgive him that! Know it sounds mad but it's the best thing in the world when you realise you love someone for all their faults as well as their good points. Take care, hope it works out for you both.
Love, Clare xxx
