Why doesn't my BF listen?

Yesterday I told him I will be visiting my parents tomorrow (today)...meaning that I won't be home. But then today, he texted that he will be home late. I told him again that I’m visiting parents.

Maybe he told you that he would be home late in case
you tried to phone him from your parents house
or you wondered why he hadn't phoned you.

I don't get why a text saying he'll be home late proves he doesn't listen to you.  Assuming you live together, it's common courtesy to let others know about any changes in routine. If you're like most young couples, the problem is too much texting in situations where an in person convo needs to take place.

There is a difference between not listening and forgetting.

It's courteous to tell your partner when you will be home late regardless of what their schedule is.  

What if you had a dog and neither of you would be home to let it out for a wee?

What if you heard from your neighbor that he came home late without telling you?  Would you think he was sneaking around?

Communication...it's a thing we adults find helpful here in Adultville.

But knowing you, you complain that he doesn't listen and you'd probably complain if he didn't text you about coming home late either.   You're exhausting and I've only had to spend two minutes with you.  Yuck.

Just don't listen to him
