Why doesn't he call when he's away?

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 7 months. I know he cares about me a lot and I adore him, but there is one thing that really bothers me. Whenever he goes away, he never really calls. The first time, he called one and he was gone for 5 days. I was pretty upset, but never said anything. Then he went away again for about 5 days for work with my best friend's boyfriend. *they work together. That time he called me every night, but I feel like it's just because he saw his friend calling his girlfriend. Last month he went away and sent me texts and that's fine with me. I don't need to have these long conversations every day, because neither of us are phone people, but it's nice to know he's thinking of me. Yesterday, he left again for 5 or 6 days and today I got my wisdom teeth out. He knew that I was really nervous and scared, but he never called or texted today to see how I made out. I just feel really bad that he didn't care enough to check up on me. I know I should talk to him, but I just want some other opinions- esp guys. What do you think?
