Jennifer speaks with Marty over the phone to let him know that she will be gone about a month or two helping friends far away. His response is minimal, and I find that hard to believe. What are your thoughts?

I thnk over the phone all emotions cannot be shared. So it may have seemed minimal.

I think, realistically, anybody would have had more of a reaction. Even couples that trust each other completely would want more information, or at least to talk in person.

I hope that some real couples don't ask questions and completely trust each other. They explain without being asked.

on call I don't prefer to ask much

We can't say if the opposite end has a smile while talking or feeling offended

Texts are even worse. At least with a phone call you can hear the tone of voice.

I think his reaction did not fit the character the author portrays.

I think his reaction was not fitting with his character. It was very brief and while couples may trust each other and not question each other, I would still expect more of a reaction and wanting to know more about why she has to leave.

Very true

Jennifer speaks with Marty over the phone to let him know that she will be gone about a moment in next time

Marty has been in a relationship before. He got a divorce and has felt rejected. He is now being left behind with an explanation to be offered when Jennifer resumes. I am wondering whether the acceptance is only verbal, with numerous questions at the back of his mind or it was just a plain acceptance.
