I don't think it's wrong to act others to accept it, but one does have to realize that at times others will become vexed. I do much the same thing, especially when I'm stressed/have things I don't want to talk about/am sure that the things happening in my life are things the other person will not want to hear about or know how to cope with. I try to identify it (an e-mail saying "sorry I've been so busy, will call when I come up for air" or "I'm going through things I don't want to talk about and will give a call when I feel human") to reassure the other person that I'm not snubbing him or her, and I know that some people will think I'm flakey.
This assumes, of course, that neither person is expected to always take 100% responsibility to initiate contact.
