People hit it on the head with the P whipped comments and also being told about the cell phone thing from his buddy instead of you magnified it. As soldiers we have a lot of frustrations in the military and it comes out in our voices though we don't mean to. Unfortunately we vent to those we care about. He knew he screwd up because he kept trying to call you.

If he is getting ready for deployment he is going to need you. There are things I wish I could tell you. All I can tell you is to love him and don't let the little things interfere in your relationship. If he is combat arms then don't try to coddle him or be "understanding". Trust me you have you idea what we go through and it pisses some of us off when people try to be "understanding". Just love him and let him know he is loved.

Everybody CAN have a bad day,,maybe HE WAS HAVING ONE?
You said HE told you HE had no reception,,and MAYBE THAT was HIS HINT,,that he wasn't in the mood to talk with you tonight?
Is he in training to go over sea's to war,,THAT might be an issue to. He could be feeling the 'DUDE SHE'S GOT YOU P****** WHIPPED'!??
And HE'S trying to show them he's NOT?
YOUR the one who went around HIS THOUGHTS,,by ASKING him to use your friends, friends Phone?
And IF this is your FIRST time having THIS issue,,my question would be WHY,,IF YOU TWO ARE,,"ALL THAT" (in love) THEN
why would you run onto a Single SITE and ask THIS question?
THIS would be time for only a few close friends,,not a broadcast to strangers for replies? Just saying?
I'm NOT sticking up for HIM,,,,But see,,WE DON'T KNOW EITHER OF YOU,,REALLY,,and many things can be on his mind,,that WE have NO-IDEA about? BUT,,THIS IS A FACT,,,YOU know where he is and what HE can't be doing? CORRECT? So he's with a bunch of dudes doing his job.. However,,your on here showing a dissatisfaction in your relationship with him.
IF you felt secure about you and him,,then YOU would have just took his word for HIM not having reception and leave THAT alone,,no-biggie,,,and it would have NEVER become an ISSUE,,inside your heart.
Sometimes we THINK to much,,into,,not whats really there,,but more of what we kind-of USE,,to MAKE AN ISSUE OUT OF?
I'll say THIS,,IF HE ACTS LIKE A JERK over the phone again,,or gives you a bunch of static, over this,,THEN,,,you might have a problem? But ONE TIME,,,can NEVER be a true test of feelings?
well,,in words,,,wink,,one smack can be ONE TO MANY..
Just make sure your NOT trying to control him,,in your actions,,I mean FOR HIM TO FEEL, YOU ARE! Because many will run if they feel that..Good luck and I hope you both get past this..
