You are being kinda passive aggressive about this. It sounds to me like you are afraid of confronting him and dont want to lose this job.
You dont mention the job or your work, so I assume this is stuff that really can wait for the next morning.
How about asking for a work performance meeting. Hear what he has to say about your work and what areas he praises and what he wants improvements on. Then you can bring up the twice a week phone calls that bother your personal time. Especially since they can all wait till the morning. (Does he have impulse control issues?). You arent a surgeon and this isnt a kidney transplant situation that cant wait for the morning. Lets meet in the middle. Text me your question and if I can I will answer via text and if it can wait, it will wait.

Bad idea, once again, to allow him to text questions.
This man has no boundaries and will continue to take advantage. After hours are off limits because he takes advantage.

Would your DH let you "blame" him?

"Sorry, Boss, but my husband prefers that I don't take work calls outside hours, so that I can focus on my family".

I can't quite articulate why... But I feel this is a bad idea and would make the boss look badly upon you.

When he says he called and you didn't answer say you aren't available at that time
When he texts you answer I'm not available until 9 am
