Hi,

Just want to get your opinions.

My H over the last couple of years has not always been readily available by cell phone. He says that he is....but he's not. Even the kids know he is hard to reach at certain times.

Over the weekend I lost my cell phone. H knew I lost it because I told him. I reminded him on Monday morning that I didn't have my cell phone. We had talked about meeting up at a local adventure store that night to make some purchases for our hike on Saturday. I assumed we would go later (after 5:30 or so). So I left work around 3:30, went home, changed and went the gym and then grocery store not knowing that he was there at the adventure store waiting for me. He kept trying to call me on my work number and then the home number. He had my son drive by my work to see if my car was there and H even drove to a location where I often hike alone after work to see if I was there.

OK...so literally....I was out of touch for 2 hours MAX.

I felt bad that I had misunderstood about our meet time at the adventure store, but he was really *issed at me for not being able to reach me. He said that "it goes both ways" and "not to get on him when I can't reach him". Which I don't feel like I do, but sometimes I say things like "I've been trying to reach you all afternoon" if I HAVE been trying to reach him all afternoon.

Wow....all this time I was thinking....he knew I didn't have a cell phone that day!!

I think he blew things way out of proportion. Am I crazy?

Plus he has been more distant (physically) but we have been spending more weekend time together lately. We have been training with 3 other couples for two big mountain hikes coming up. I have to ask for a hug in the mornings. Seriously....who has to ask for a hug? Is it too much to expect an occasional spontaneous hug from my husband?
