Let me let you in on a little secret if I may... smile

He didnt realize you werent texting him.... Thats Bull$h!t. He was perfectly aware....and, he was CRAVING your attention! Thats why he brought that up.

That is a mans way of saying 'hey, should message me more' without showing neediness. Men crave being 'needed', especially a man who fires out hundreds of 'whats up?' messages to random friends.

Which makes it even more important that you dont contact him first. If he is that needy, and needs constant reassurance of how relevant he is to other people (which is why he needs to touch base with people constantly) then he WILL buckle, and contact you.

When you get a message from him, and you will, I suggest you use it an opportunity to show a 180. In your case, you would be well served to encourage him and stroke his ego on whatever he tells you is going in in his life.. Men NEED that. And if he is not getting this somewhere else, he will subconcsiously begin to crave it from you.

Just dont contact him yourself so you can stroke his ego. He must be the one to contact you, otherwise you will be needy and too available and unattractive.

So....

H: hey wife, how is it going?
You: not much, how is life treating you?
H: good! Just got out of work, got a raise/finished a project/nailed my assignment etc...
you: well, you have always been the smart one/good at that/dedicated etc...

Positive reassurance is very powerful for guys. And a woman who learns to give a man respect can get anything she wants!
