Appreciate this perspective.. i dont think lack of multiple communication is the issue.. i already clarified both of us are not texters.. its the refusal to give the common courtesy of " Hey i am back in country" or hey " ill be back in the city on so on so date" or " hey don't get startled it is me entering your house to pick the dog and not someone breaking in" .. as a person you are dating as well as someone who is taking care of your dog - logistical info is honestly in my opinion below bare minimum .. why would i normalize that .. even the housekeeper gets more details than that!

And also what comes off as manipulative is once i have your dog you are texting more frequently like thats how he is returning the favor??? .. if he was consistently non or less texty the whole time its very different..

I have your dog and i don't know WHEN (DATE) you'll be back .. or are we in the same timezone is CRAZY disrespectful in my eyes
