Should spouses call and let each other know if they are going to be late?

My husband and I both work full time but his hours are more irregular than mine are which means he sometimes works on weekends as well. His schedule is posted on the fridge so he know when he is supposed to be in to work. My question is, if he's going to go do something else after work, should he call and let me know? I always call him if I'm even going to be a half hour late getting home or meeting him somewhere. I'm not talking about being twenty, thirty, or even an hour late. I'm talking about two and a half hours. I don't mind that he goes to visit his friends or whatever but I think its fair for him to at least leave me a message. Even something so simple as 'Going out for a while. Be back later'

Am I being unreasonable for wanting him to at least call and tell me he's going to go do something after work?

This isn't about a lack of trust. This is about common courtesy.

We would demand that our children, even if they are getting older, let us know when they will be late.

You share a home and have a commitment to each other. It's only natural to be concerned about the ones you love.

It's just not fair for one spouse to neglect the feelings of the other and leave them to just wonder if and when the other will show up. We need to treat each other with respect and thoughtfulness. We should give them the courtesy that we would expect from anyone.
