There was no huge emotional investment in that phonecall. I was just shamefully curious how he was doing. I wasn't expecting him to say, "Gosh darn I've missed you and I have been wondering how you are doing as well."

It was just nice to talk for 2 minutes and say hey howzitgoing without huge drama and fanfare.

My husband bailed on me emotionally a long time ago. I'm used to that now and expect nothing from him.
