Sounds like a good start. I'm glad you got the opportunity to tell him about your life and listen in return. Maybe he got the hint about keeping in touch with your son and that you are doing great without him. Should look much more attractive.
I imagine there is a lot to the convo that isn't on here. If you talked for an hour on the phone it must have been fairly relaxed for both of you.
My thought/concern is that right now all of the power of contact is with him. He says he'll call such and such a time and you are waiting for it. Or you expect a call on a weekend and it could be anytime or not at all. I'd just be sure that if he isn't faithful on calling that you aren't just waiting by the phone. Don't put off anything to wait for this call. So you can't call at all? Doesn't your son indicate he wants to talk to his dad? If he does I would let him on occasion and see how it goes over. Just my thought.
Everyone on here knows my thoughts on pursuing and so I won't even address your comment.
Good job. Sounds like you handled things well.
