GreyJack, I agree with His little one on this, sometime we just need to hear what we already know in order to get our heads back on straight.
His little one, I completely understand where you are coming from, about 6 hours a week is all we have had as well, and there is so much to learn about a person in such a short time.
I find myself not necisarily wanting instant gratification, but rather the feeling that that gratification is on it's way. When you expect to hear from him and wait an extra two days, then my mind starts to race, when I question whether things are ok with us, I also wonder if that gratification will ever happen. Sure I would love to come home to an e-mail or phone call every day, but I also know that that isn't always going to happen, but I do want him to be a consistant part of my life, like you said, not a sporadic part.
