writes:My husband is currently away on business/leisure for one week. He hasn't phoned me once in this time. I've sent him long emails and he only responds with short emails back. We are newlyweds and I am home alone while he is away. It feels to me that he doesn't care about me, he went to another country on his trip and I feel that it is his duty to phone me , at least a couple of times while he is away. Am I being over sensitive? Am I asking too much? I am far away from family and friends and he knows that but still hes not phoning me. Reply to this Question

 I agree with smiles, keeping yourself occupied may work best. I guess you knew he would have to travel before you got married.
That is probably something you will have to get used to dealing with. Maybe there are things you can do that are better done while he is away like spending time with a girlfriend. good luck

However, I do go on business trips often and it is not alwys practical to phone or send long conversations.
I suggest you keep your self occupied and look forward to his safe return.
Do not complain when he gets back, rahter lovingly tell him how much you missed him and how you did enjoy his emails.
Lots of love and happines.
