We used to talk on the phone quite a bit until he deployed (end of 2008). Phone/skype quality was horrible where he was so we talked maybe 3-4 times in the whole year and just stuck to IM and emails. It was really annoying having to repeat every sentence a few times and it just pissed him off. So we sort of got used to not talking and it didn't change after he came back (end of 2009). I tried to call him a few times but the last 2 or 3 calls he was in a pissy mood and I just gave up on calling.

Now, I know this may sound stupid, but what would we talk about? I of course have a lot of things to say but they would all come off as pursuing. I don't think there's anything he would feel the need to talk about, you know? At least definitely not in the state of mind he is now. So I guess he'd just say there's nothing to talk about.
