Dear Shree, my husband has taken a job out of town and comes home only on weekends. This is the best choice for us to survive in this erratic economy, and we have decided on a simple formulae whereby he calls me every night before bed, no matter how late it gets/if he is out on a business dinner or out partying. But sadly, my man sucks at communicating and staying connected with me on a daily purpose! Sometimes there also arises a pressing need to get in touch with him, maybe on grounds of a family emergency/some important decision that I need his involvement with —today, for example, his doctor needed him to return a call—and, as usual, he simply ignored my message. This happens all the time, and it makes me exasperated! Also, I feel there is a waning intimacy in our marriage, as when I suggest we indulge in some playful sexting, he shows no real interest and abruptly says he’s either too busy or too tired. These days, with rampant infidelity, I worry if he’s cheating on me, or is plain bored in a long distance marriage or just lousy at intimacy that’s a huge turn off for me. I'm tempted to stop talking to him and not pick up the phone for our nightly conversation. I know it’s childish, but the revenge would feel really good. I just want to make him as crazy as he makes me!
