Ok, I am a bit moody I think today. Maybe it's because I'm sick, but maybe, just maybe there is some justification to it.

After work yesterday DH said I can't call him at work so much, people are complaning. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> I guess someone got in trouble for phone use and said well DH's W calls like 7-8 times a day. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" /> That is so not true. Maybe 3 times sometimes, but not 7-8. Anyhow, I left it be.

So, this morning I am still feeling sick (I have pink eye virus so I have a cold with it and I feel like crap). I wanted to whine to DH a little about how crummy I was feeling. I called his cel and he answered. He rushed off saying he was taking care of some ****. Ok, so he's busy not big deal. He said he'd call me later.

That was at 9:30 this morning. It is not 2:30 and I have not heard from him. I also e-mailed him today and he hasn't even taken 2 minutes to reply to that. So, now I am getting pissed. All I can think about is the one conversation we had that he pointed out that he ignores my e-mails intentionally because that's what I did to him. He knows that talking is an EN of mine (like through the day on the phone a couple of times to let eachother know we are thinking of them).

Plus, I feel a bit slighted because he has been avoiding a lot of contact with me in an extreme effort to make sure he doesn't get sick. I've been real good about not touching my eyes, and when I do I wash them immediately. I just want to be babied a little.

Why can't he just call me or e-mail me a simple I love you. I want to cry right now. All I can think of is missing him and wanting to be with him and he can't even return a call from 5 hrs. ago.

Anyhow, just needed to vent and whine to someone who would listen. Thanks all.

P.S. I just thought of something. Yesterday DH called to see how I was feeling. He hasn't even bothered today. How bummy is that?!

Princess,
I don't know whether to commisserate with you, or tell you to buck up <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> .

OK, sympathy first. I am sorry you feel lousy, and needy and nobody's giving you tender loving care through it.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Princess}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

I don't know what your H does for work, but first of all, somebody has brought it to public attention that you call freqyently. Some people don't like work and home lives crossing over. He might be embarrassed because of the attention? NOt strong-willed enough just to say, "My wife's calls are MY business." ?

Or, he could irritable, because you are sick and he's not getting what he needs from you. Selfish, sure, human? yep.

He told you he had **** piling up on him at work...possibley he truly can't break loose, no time to check in with you. He might think you need your rest and he doesn't want to wake you (that'd be a no phone call reason, not an email <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> ). Maybe the computer system crashed, maybe he inadvertantly was locked in the boy's room...

When he feels like things are going all right, he's generally a good guy, right? Try not to think the worst of him until he deserves it, like you had one conversation that no email from him to you is a payback. Do you think that's a fair statement of his current usual behavior?

Anyway, just throwing some things out there. I hope for your sake he calls soon and brings you some chicken soup after work <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> .

Take care of your cold & eyes.

Well, he works mostly with family and there are a total of 8 of them in the office (4 of which are family). So, I don't think that it's a real issue, but his boss/dad can be a real jerk sometimes and probably is just have a control moment.

Also, they work in computer networking. Them crashing and not having a back up happens slim to never. Him calling and worrying about waking me up is moot - I'm at work. So he is about out of excuses. Oh, being overlogged with work - he could have taken 2 minutes at lunch to call and see how I was feeling or say he loves me. I would have realy like that.

Now that I am done picking your well meant and well thought out ideas apart - which I truly appreciate, I want to add that he finally did call. He asked how I was feeling and told me he forwarded an e-mail about the hand held we still haven't gotten. I was a bit agitated at the fact that he couldn't reply to my e-mail, but dismissed that quickly with the pleasure that he called me and did say he loves me. So, I guess I"m feeling better now about it all.

Thanks for taking the time to read and offer your sympathies to me. I know I am being rather whiney today, and I'm sorry, but I so feel like $(!%.
