Communication?

Even though we have email and most days he can read and answer I still get nearly no communication from him. I can send a dozen emails about life and love and how things are here and I'll get back one, one-line answer that reads something like 'ok on boys. hot here. work 12-12'. No I Love You, no I Miss You, no So How Are Things?. It's like he's just forgotten all about us here and our lives and needs. I know he can't say much about what he does, but he can say bits and pieces and he can send pictures. One-line emails and 5 minutes on the phone every two weeks aren't going to cut it. If the man thinks he's still going to have a wife when he gets home in 200-some-odd days he'd better start giving a crap about life here.
