Asking that your W call if she is not coming home shouldn't be viewed as controlling. Its just courtesy. The two of you still live together. Heck I used to call my old roomate just to give her a heads up.

Although calling her if she doesn't arrive home when you expect her would be considered "controlling". I know you probably have had this convo before but if you can gently remind her that you would like a call if she is not coming home or this whole thing could be remedied by just assuming if she is going out that she will not be home...that way you can be pleasantly surprised if she does. Same with the calling...just throw the expectation out the window and be happy when and if it happens. Even if she says she will call. Yes its inconsiderate on her part but you have no control over her behavior.
