Quote: I told H that I missed him and that I was happy he was home. H said why didn't you call me then?
There's a difference between being needy and pursuing, and meeting his needs for quality time. My H is a quality time person. I never used to call him at work, didn't want to "interrupt" him- and frankly, I'm more of a loner, so I didn't feel the need to touch base all the time. Besides, he called me when he wanted to talk to me, right? WRONG! It's amazing to me how grateful he is now when I call him at work, even if it's just to say hi. Obviously your H needs and wants quality time. So try calling him, putting cute little notes in his lunch, meeting him for lunch if that's an option, and when he IS home - be with him. Sit next to him (even if you want to get up and do the dishes instead). Look him in the eyes when you listen to him. Heck, I even used to lie in bed at night and try to match my breathing to my H's.
