If he isn't saying it it could be because saying it would make it too real. He's gone a whole year and if allowing himself to acknowledge missing you might make that year harder.
actually my friends family used to sponser some really sweet mids when we were in HS and the one who was just here visiting started (without my prompting) talking aobut how much he loves deployment -- and i was like "don't you miss your wife" and he's like yeah i love my wife, and of course i miss her - but we would get into it because i didn't say it enough -- and i'm like ....ummm that's my life now! so he made me feel better, he just explained that he loves his job, that he's doing what he signed up for and that he's too busy to think about saying "hey i miss you" all of the time. soooo yeah. i feel better. needless to say, i had to write an "i'm calm now" email as a reprise to the "IM REALLY UPSET YOU DON'T MISS ME" crazy email.
