I found another example of Shepard's jerkiness, when he contacts his mom in Mass Effect, knowing full well he might die fighting Saren, he doesn't even say "I love you", seriously, what the heck.

Additionally, in Mass Effect 2, after Shepard is brought back to life, he doesn't even call his mom to let her know he is okay.
