Your H sounds a lot like mine in some ways. Mine never used to call at all when away on work. Now he texts me during the day most days - even if it's just a smiley face. To know you are being thought of means so much. My H even stopped his away work in the end because I got so damaged by him being away post being told about the A, when everything was so raw. We have to hang on to these things.
You said once you chewed your H out a bit after he told you about his first A. Hopefully he will see that that will not happen this time, and so he may, in time, feel more able to talk about some things. Choosing your things that are important is good - and you seem to be being relaxed about it. I would never have known from the tone of your posts that your H was away.
