This sounds like it is coming from insecurity, which is a you problem. Sorry, but expecting a boyfriend (not living together, not married) to text you every time he goes out is not reasonable. Even if you are exclusive.

He has a daughter - do you really think he's out partying up the town? If you are worried about that, that shows that you don't trust him, which is a bigger problem than the nightly call. Whether you don't trust him b/c there's something there to really worry about, or because you are insecure and paranoid, I can't say. But you really need to think hard about this and decide whether the level of reassurance that you are asking for is really appropriate. For me, it would be a deal breaker if my partner required constant check-ins just to prove my loyalty.

Need to check in for practical reasons, like knowing whether your live-in partner will be home for dinner? That's common courtesy, and normal in married or live-in partners. But expecting that same level of constant knowledge of each other's actions 'just because I can't handle not knowing' is not reasonable.[/quote]
