I think GoatGal and Card have good suggestions. I think it depends on which approach would work best for your H, Maybell.
My H wouldn't respond positively to either statement, but I actually think GG's suggestion would cause more problems for him than Card's. If told my H, "D7 seems to miss you," he would hear criticism AND probably assume that I was trying to guilt him into . . . something. If I told my H, "D7 seems to miss you and I think it would help if you called every day, even for a few minutes," he would hear criticism but at least he would know that I wasn't trying to make it about me.
