Trying to figure out my husband

We were driving along the highway yesterday with our two kids. I was going at 70 mph on a 70 mph road. We needed to text someone about our anticipated arrival time, which I thought would be on time.
Husband did not think we would be on time, but I asked him to text them anyway and say that we would be on time. I asked him to use MY PHONE to send a text saying, "we'll be there on time". He refused because he did not think we would be on time. I reminded him that this was my phone and I would be the one to blame if we were late. He still refused, so I told him to give me the phone so that I could text, thinking that he would be prompted to send the text rather than let his wife text while driving. He just handed me the phone. I put the car in cruise control and voiced a text, saying we would be on time. We got to our destination on time, but I am totally confused about this man. He is always so odd. Everything is a big deal. He overthinks everything, but never considers basic common sense. I know that texting while driving is crazy, but my issue is with him and his ability to just sit there! I know many people like this at work. They just sit there and do nothing...I just realized that I am married to one. |

Stop texting while you drive. Seriously. If you were going to be on time, then it wasn't that urgent. |

basic common sense?
Most men lack that. Your post is so strange and petty though, you sound inflexible and a bit of a bully. Maybe the problem is you, and your thick skin, not your DH? |

Don't worry. If you keep texting while driving 70 mph on a highway the problem will soon resolve itself. What were your children's names and what was the last expression on their faces?

You only need to inform people of estimated arrival time if you are going to be late.
You could have killed your family or someone else. |

This is what you fight over ? REALLY ?!? Do you two ever think maybe just maybe texting and fighting while driving 70 mph on the highway could kill your kids AND innocent people ? Idiots.

| why do you need to text if you will be on time? |

It sounds like you are both caught up in being right. Surely there was a better solution to this non-problem -- such as not getting into this argument since who the hell cares that you are arriving on time, OP?
OP, you really can't see that you spun up this problem and turned it into a fight?. |

DING DING DING This, OP |

| I can't imagine risking my life and my children's lives so that my spouse and I can argue about whether we were arriving on time or late. Are you and your spouse in 5th Grade? |

+ 1 to everything everyone has said in this thread.
Also wtf else is he supposed to be doing other than sitting while in a car? I'm trying to figure you out OP. |

1) I don't see the point in texting that you will be on time. One could presume the other party is already working under this assumption.
2) With #1 in mind, that sounds like a stupid fight. 3) In preparing for our 30th high school reunion, I've been horribly saddened to discover a friend of mine from back then was killed in a texting/driving case about 10 years ago, and his case was the impetus for some severe texting/driving laws in this country. Cruise control doesn't make texting and driving any safer. 4) Stop badgering your husband about doing useless things. |
