Update:
Well, I had a talk with him about this today, and he didn't exactly apologize for not checking his messages, but he did promise that he would check his messages from now on. And he understands that I won't call him while he's at work unless I have something really important to ask him or tell him, or he has called me or messaged me first and asked me to call him back.
There was one other thing that I was upset with him about. When we were eating at a restaurant last night and I was finishing up my food on my plate, he said that that was too much food, and I shouldn't be eating it all, because I would gain weight. He said, "I don't want to date a fat girl." I also talked to him about this today, and he said, "It was a joke. Geez, you take everything way too seriously." I said, "It wasn't funny." At first, he said, "I'm sorry that you got so upset," but I pointed out to him that that wasn't an apology. So then he said, "Okay, I'm sorry that I upset you." That was a little better, so I put it behind me.
I do feel better now. He really is a good guy. But of course, he's human and therefore not perfect. I'm not perfect either. We're both works in progress. But I think we do have a good thing overall, so I'm going to hang in there and do my best to make this relationship the best that it can be. And I believe that he will too. :)
Thanks, everyone, for answering my question. It's great to know that I can get some support and good advice (and many different points of view) here when I need it.
