Woukd you expect BF to let you know he's home safe?

Or get in contact just "because" when he got home from holiday?

He's been away for a few days with friends. All good, we both go away separately from time to time. He's called and text everyday while he was away (by choice, not becuase I asked him to). He sent me some photos of their last day this morning and was flying back this afternoon.

The flight landed on time about 3 hours ago, and he is driving them all home, but should be home by now.

I know I sound unhinged, but I'd have expected him to be pleased to be home and be in touch and arrange to see me tomorrow, or just let me know he's back.

He's given me no reason at all to think he'd deliberately not contact me, probably arrived home tired and in need of a shower etc etc, I can make plenty of excuses for him, but still feel he "should" have been in touch.

My stupid brain doesn't know whether to be slightly annoyed with him...or worried.

Yes. My partner rides a motorbike and doesn't live with me. The minute he gets home he messages me to say he's back as I fret.

It's just common courtesy

Same day, yes, the minute he arrived home, no.

If you don't hear from him until tomorrow I'd be slightly miffed.
