Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : My boyfriend and I have been living together for about 5 years now. He needs to go for walks  to destress other wise hes just bouncing off the walls. Before we met he would walk for about 5 + hours a night. When we got together he cut them down to 2 hours. Im a bit of a worry wort, And asked him to take his phone with him just to be safe. He fought me on this but agreed in the end.

Lately hes been upping his walks to 3 hours and walks through the down town/ river front of our city. Not the best place to walk at night, lots of bars, drunks, bad neighborhoods (we have a bad drug and gun violance issue here) So I asked if he could shoot me a text half way through just an I'm fine see ya at so and so time. Just so I don't sit here and worry. Also He tends to have me pick him up and its nice to know Ive got x amount of time left before I have to get rdy to go out.

He seems to think that Im being controling, when I just want him to be safe, and not worry all night about him walking alone in unsafe places.  

He says that having to be on a timer stresses him out and that its too much of a hastle to txt mid walk. I could really care less how long he walks for, sure I worry, sure I feel lonely bit its some thing he needs for his health. I just hate sitting there worrying, more so when I call him before I head to pick him up and get no reply and its been hours since he left.

So Am in the wrong  for asking for a mid walk check in to aleavate my fear and worry?  I don't feel like Im asking much in a quick txt, He feels like Im cutting in to his freedom. 

P.s. He has been hastled by cops a number of times for being in the parks along the bike path where he walks, generally for just stopping to use the bathrooms along his way. And he does not fallow a set route so I wouldnt be able to even look for him if some thing did happen to him.

Thanks for the help!
