I'll try to make this story short. Please no rude comments. I just want suggestions.

3 weeks ago, my boyfriend got switched from day shifts to night shifts. Working 5:30pm-5:30am M-F Okay.

Well, three weeks ago on a Friday, he was supposed to pick me up from my aunt's house after he got off of work. (I'm 22, and I babysit my little cousins. We only have 1 car and bf and I live together)

Well. He never showed up. I called, waited, and he finally picked up the phone around 8am. I asked him where he was at, he said he was at a friend's with some co workers. (Throwing a kickback for making it through the first week)

I got really upset at him for that. NOT because he went out, BUT because he didn't let me know until I had to call him myself and find out. He came home at like 1pm. He promised next time he went out, he would give me a heads up and not leave me hanging.

Okay, Last week. On Friday, he went out. AGAIN! With his coworkers after work (5:30am) That whole week he told me he wasn't going to go because his coworkers wanted to do it every Friday, and how he sees them as co workers and just that.

Well. Guess what!! HE DIDN'T SHOW UP UNTIL 7PM ON THAT FRIDAY NIGHT!!!!

I was livid. He got off, again, at 5:30am that Friday. Last time we had contact was 11:30pm Thursday night. Throughout the day Friday, I only messaged him once. He never let me know he was going to go out (I kind of figured, but reassurance would've been great) It wasn't until 5pm that my anger turned into worry. His phone has been off, and I know he needs sleep (I mean after a 12 hour shift) So wherever he was, I just wanted him to be safe.

Well, when he came home, I had a talk with him. Told him how i didn't care if he went out and had fun, all I cared about is for him to let me know. Just in case he needs help or something so I would know where to go (in case of emergency)

Well. 3rd week of work (this week). I'm 10 weeks pregnant and today (Thursday I have an apt at 8am) He's no where in sight. Again, we have one car, and he said he would be there at the appointment (WIC).Yet he hasn't messaged me anything to let me know what's going on. . Tomorrow, Friday, we get to hear the heartbeat for the first time. He told me he would be there. I sure do hope so. Because I swear if he doesn't show up to Friday's appointment or doesn't give me a heads up, then I'm going to lose it.

Anyway, We live together, he supports the both of us. I currently am seeking a job and have been off and on with work, and school.We are both 22. He know we're each other's forever, Dated sophomore year, known each other since freshman year. Recently got back together 3 years ago. After high school, and here we are.

I get that he wants to spend time with his friends, but the thing he is lacking in is communicating with me and letting me know he's going out. No I'm not keeping him away from his buddis, just a heads up would be fine. Other than that, I don't care where he goes lol.

Any way, anyone have a similar story and how did you guys fix the problem? Yes he's a grown ass man, and he should be responsible for his actions. But talking to him isn't working. That's the only thing he lacks in. I just don't know what to do.
