H just called..house line- he knows that my cell is always on vibrate and I probably wouldn't answer it...caller id does not work in my bedroom so again..didn't know it was him.

He called to ask where he can find a supermarket that was open...he wanted to pick up fruit on his way home from the gym..he was in great spirits. Exercise really does him well.

We talked for a few minutes..I got off the phone with him..told him to enjoy his carrots in a joking manner(apparently the only thing he has in the fridge). He seemed annoyed that I was getting off the phone with him..which leads me to this question..

When H calls to talk and we are just talking normally..should I stay on the phone and talk..or should I cut the conversation off after a little while..and avoid giving him too much? While talking to him I was very engaged..we were joking around etc.. I think he is trying to connect with me. Does it seem like I am not trying to connect if I get off the phone with him? I just don't want him to end the conversation. I want him to pursue me...and really want him to work here. I am not used to this so I don't know how to play this game. I usually talk to him until he ends the conversation so this role is a bit uncomfortable for me. I don't want to give him the impression that I am not interested..or don't want his attention. If we are going to get back together..I want to get together on a more even playing field.

Any suggestions? Keep in mind that my H suffers from depression so I don't want to abandon. I need a play book.
