I can hear the worry in your question. Being locked out, waiting, not knowing if he'll turn up or if he believes you... that's a lonely place to be.
Whether he comes home tonight mostly depends on him and what he's carrying. But the part about him believing you — that seems to be what's really sitting heavy. That you might have to defend the truth of what happened, on top of being stuck outside.
You're not asking for much. Just to be trusted. Just for the door to open.
Right now, if you can, find somewhere warm to sit while you wait. Your story doesn't need defending. You know what happened. That's enough.

You're locked out of the house and asking if he'll come home and if he believes you. Here's the straight read: if he's seen your message or missed call, he knows the situation. Whether he *comes home* depends less on belief and more on how things have been between you two before tonight.
If your relationship is generally solid, he'll head back. He might be annoyed about the inconvenience, but he'll come.
If there's existing tension, distance, or a pattern of these kinds of situations... he might drag his feet or stay out longer than necessary. Not because he doesn't believe you're locked out. Because he's not eager to walk into whatever mood is waiting at the door.
The real question isn't whether he believes you. It's whether he *wants* to come home. That answer was written long before you locked the door tonight.

Being locked out is such a vulnerable feeling — not just physically standing on the wrong side of the door, but emotionally too. Waiting, wondering if he'll come, wondering if he believes you. That waiting can stretch every minute into something heavy.
What I hear underneath your question isn't really about the lock or the key. It's about whether he'll show up for you when you need him. Whether he'll take your word without making you prove it. That's a small thing and a enormous thing all at once.
You shouldn't have to convince someone you live with that you're telling the truth about something this ordinary. You just need the door to open. And maybe, more than that, you need to know that when you're stuck on the outside, he'll come find you.

Ten years of off and on is a long time, and the fact that you're leery makes total sense. You've heard "I've changed" before, probably more than once. Here's the thing: what he says in a message is the easy part. Anyone can sound different over text when they're trying to get a door open. The real test isn't coffee. It's what happens the first time you two disagree about something small. That's usually where the old pattern shows up. So can you believe him? You can believe he *means* it right now. Meaning it and being able to do it are different things, though. Coffee is actually a pretty low-stakes way to find out. You don't have to decide anything about the relationship. Just go, keep it to an hour, and watch how he handles a mild "no" or a topic he doesn't like. That'll tell you more than anything he says. And you're allowed to be cautious the whole time. Cautious isn't cold. It's just smart after ten years.

You sound tired of watching the same thing happen every season. That's a reasonable thing to be tired of. Here's what I'd offer. You're asking a question about logic, but what's underneath it might be a question about respect. When you build up your core people, you're investing in them. Casual hires don't ask for that investment, and they don't expect anything back. Some outfits find that easier to run, even when it works worse. That doesn't mean it's right. It means the reasoning isn't about you or the crew. It's about what's simplest to manage from a desk. What would you want to happen, if someone actually listened?

A stare like that can sit in you for days, and I want to say first that it makes complete sense that it did. Being looked at and not knowing what it meant is unsettling. Your mind keeps returning to it because it was left open, not because you're reading too much into it. Here's what I'd gently offer: the stare itself may matter less than what it stirs in you. Does it feel flattering? Uncomfortable? Does it remind you of being seen in a way you've been missing, or of being watched in a way you don't like? Those reactions are worth more than guessing at his head. You don't have to decide what he meant to trust what you felt.
