U-turn, my advice is get something on both your calendars so you can say this face to face. Together time was always an issue with my M, I got up early, he slept a lot later; I went to bed early (so I could get up early), he stayed up late and usually fell asleep on the couch. It was convenient to try and make up for that with texts and emails but that was a mistake. Something this important deserves face time.
