Have to agree with Wonka. WAS don't want to be on the phone. Mine has about 15 minutes before he gets very, very upset.

Have you and H agreed upon a co-parenting? I'm just making an observation from your threads, you seem to be stressed (and rightfully so) with taking care of your children without your H 's assistance. If I remember correctly, didn't you call him when one of your kids were having a meltdown? And then called him for help when you were sick? And then called about the report card, and then about the tablet?

I'm going to mind read for a second, but it may be that your H doesn't want to deal with it right now, because he's in his own head. The comment about you always being there asking questions, while hurtful, makes me wonder if he's feeling pressured by you? Which is why I ask if you've talked about co parenting?

Perhaps instead of calling him, you could wait at least 24 hours and see if you still need to discuss an issue with him (barring emergency). If you do, perhaps send and email or text that he can respond to later.

It's hard when our H's suddenly become the opposite of what we are used to. I mentioned that I was sick as a dog today and I got a "there's a lot of that going around, take care of yourself." No, "do you need anything, can I get you anything?" Which is what pre-BD husband would've done. It is what it is right now, and it made me slightly side, but I moved past it and made a mental note not to call him expecting help. At least for now.
