if i expect my husband my husband home at a certain time I text and ask him where he is. If i'm not home when the timeline of work would indicate i should be home he calls me and asks what's going on. not because we have each other on a short leash but because we do life together. He may want to know where I am so we can figure out what time we will eat, or just general logisitics for living and doing life together. I have been in "extremely" abusive relationships and there is a big, big difference between wanting to know where someone is and controlling every move someone makes.
