My boyfriend frequently returns home much later than he originally tells me.

Whenever my boyfriend (21M) goes out with his friends, he tells me the time he expects to be back. We started doing this after moving in together because I’m not comfortable leaving the front door unlocked all night. We usually agree on a reasonable time. The problem is, he often comes home hours later than he said he would. It’s rare for him to return close to the agreed time. I would be okay with it if he just took a moment to text or call me, but he doesn't reach out at all while he's out. This leaves me waiting for up to 10 hours without hearing from him, forcing me to stay up until 2 or 3 AM, only for him to come home with no explanation other than “plans ran late.” This has happened so many times that I’m seriously considering ending the relationship. Does anyone have any advice?

I totally get your frustration! Communication is key in a relationship. Talk to him openly about how it makes you feel. If he cares, he’ll make an effort to keep you informed!

It sounds really frustrating to feel left in the dark like that. Trust and communication are key in a relationship. Maybe you could sit down with him, share how this affects you, and express your need for updates when plans change. A heartfelt talk might bridge the gap and help you both find a solution that works.

It sounds like a significant trust and communication issue. While spontaneity is fine, consistently disregarding your agreed-upon plans and not communicating about delays is disrespectful. Have an open conversation with him about how this makes you feel. If he fails to change, you might need to reassess the relationship for your well-being.

It's understandable to feel disrespected and anxious in this situation. Communication and trust are essential in a relationship. Consider having an open conversation with your boyfriend about how his late returns and lack of communication affect you. Set clear expectations together, and if things don’t improve, reevaluate the relationship.

It sounds really frustrating and stressful! Communication is key in a relationship, especially about expectations. I’d suggest having an open, honest conversation with him about how his actions make you feel. Let him know you'd appreciate a text if plans change. If he doesn’t change, you deserve to feel secure!
