I would have no expectations - I do not think that is right that they do not take the time to respond...but I doubt they will change. After all these years you can figure out how you want to deal with it....but getting upset over the same behavior time and time again is not helpful to you. You obviously cannot count on this person in some ways. Adapting to it will be easier than you trying to change the other person.. maybe if they miss out on a thing or two for not checking messages and replying they may get the picture.. and maybe not

“Psychotherapy works by going deep into the brain and its neurons and changing their structure by turning on the right genes. The talking cure works by "talking to neurons," and that an effective psychotherapist or psychoanalyst is a "microsurgeon of the mind" who helps patients make needed alterations in neuronal networks.” Norman Doidge
