FI had to go to London on business, he was supposed to come home Sunday, but had to stay until tomorrow. He changed the att plan so we could have international calling and texting, but they screwed it up so not only can I not call or text him it messed up my 4g so I can't even use that! Now FI has not sent me an email in 2 days and I'm mad. He always does this and it just drives me crazy. I know he is busy working but really you can't take two seconds to send me something. Now I"m so mad that it ruins the excitement of him coming home and I don't want to be all icky when he gets here but it just makes me so crazy. Not too mention his Mom is driving me crazy with stuff. ugh. Also we have a meeting with the venue Thursday and a wedding on Saturday that he still needs a suit for and I know he's going to complain that he is tired. Well I'm tired too, and sad! Ok rant over thanks!

I completely understand your frustration. FI has to travel a lot for work as well and I always get knots in my stomach about it because we've had similar issues in the past. One of the ways we've dealt with it is to establish "expectations" before he goes, ie a phone call once a day or something like that.

I agree that it's completely unacceptable not to email you once a day at the least, Maybe you can write him an email and explain your frustration (but try not to be too judgy or anything) just like an email explaining that you're worried you haven't heard from him, that you miss him very much, are having a bit of a rough time with the distance, and that you know he's probably really busy but you would feel a lot better if you heard from him.

If you get the awkwardness and upset feelings out now, you have plenty of time to then get excited about his homecoming.
