WCW- I know what you're saying about getting my hopes up for Mother's Day. When I was trying to make myself accept that my M was over I did a very good job of not expecting anything. But, now these milestones like Mother's Day, Christmas, my birthday have become opportunities to "see" our relationship. If we were together I would be hoping for quality time together. And I'd be struggling with disappointment and frustration because for some reason H will buy me just about anything, but would NEVER go to a free concert in the park with me. I would consider myself lucky if he would just let me snuggle with him infront of the TV for half an hour. He likes to watch TV in comfort. Not with me "laying on him."
See...this is why we can do this long distance thing so well. Because, as long as it's not POSSIBLE for us to have quality time, it's hard to get very worked up about him not WANTING to spend quality time.
And yes, I have asked him to call more often. Only once. I asked in an email if he would call me more often when I got into the new house, figuring he probably didn't want to call me because he didn't want to talk to my mom or something. It wasn't very direct. But, honestly, I'm scared that I'll just be disappointed. He says how much he misses and loves me, yet won't adjust his sleeping patterns to call more often. I have to give him a break though. He works harder, longer hours than any of us probably will ever work.
