Why doesn't my girlfriend show me the same courtesy that I show her?

Question - (23 January 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 23 January 2011)
A male United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

When my girlfriend knows im on a night out with my friends, I always give her a quick text just to let her know i'm back home safe because I know she worries about me. (we dont live together)

Yet, when she goes out, she never texts to say she is home. It usually takes her to the following evening to contact me.

When I mention it to her she just brushes it off as if its nothing. Then she always says, what if her battery is flat, what if her phone is stolen, what if she cant get a signal. Which are all good points. But she always manages to find the time to text her friends when she gets home!

Weve been together for 3 years and this always makes me so annoyed and disappointed that she doesnt show me the same curtisy.

Am I overdreacting?

faenon agony auntMaybe a over reaction it may not anonymous' comment is correct hope we're wrong but can't leave it out either its relieving to know when a loved one is home safe so why the answer the question with a question tactic from her sounds to me more like she's avoiding your question which raises more the concern on what she's up to if she can't find the decency to return the favour you do for her it maybe time to focus and look back and see if this relationship is worth the effort maybe.

She worries about you,as like your safety or worries where you are or what you are doing? To be truthful,I also think you need to dig into it further,but I dont mean she is doing wrong,but she seems to be behaving like she is.

Of course,that is if she is home? Brushing things off like that and answering a question with a question means she is hesitant to say anything, and no it wouldnt do her any harm to let you know she`s ok,you are not asking for the world. I am even wondering myself, as brushing it off often means not enough time to think what to say. Hope I am wrong.
