I have been asking my boyfriend (25) to keep me in the loop for almost 2 years now and I still do not feel satisfied with the way he communicates. Every day when he comes home and I ask how his day is, he just says "went to school, went to the gym, the usual", which really tells me nothing about his day. Like, if he went missing, I would seem like the worst girlfriend EVER because I would not be able to tell the police a thing about where he was that day. It makes me feel disconnected from him and sometimes worried since I don't know the names of any of his classmates, usually who he sees during the day, or if he's planning on doing something. For example, he'll just tell me he's getting a haircut WHILE he's in the process of getting a haircut without even letting me know he was thinking about this, or telling me our mutual friends are coming over only a half an hour before they do. It's so frustrating. Its not like I'm asking we text all day either. I feel like he's just trying to maintain his independence from me, but to me I feel like his behavior sometimes borders on lying by omission. I know he loves me and he's a great boyfriend, he's a huge sweetheart but when he doesn't communicate with me it feels like he is a stranger. I could not imagine having my husband or the father of my children communicating in such way. I sound like a broken record asking for better communication this over and over. Should I end it?

Have you explained to him what you mean by more communication in this amount of detail? Reminded him in the moment? I know it sounds stupid but sometimes it takes the in moment tellings to sink in.
"Hey I'd appreciate it if you have me more than half an hour heads up that people are coming over"
You’re beating a dead horse and the man is who he is. Either he’s gonna listen or he’s not and he’s shown over and over and over he’s gonna do things his own way. End it and find someone who is more receptive.
He doesn't sound like much of a boyfriend to me.
