[quote=Anonymous]Has he actually made you late for something important?

I suspect my husband deliberately sabotages us when we try to be on time (not early) for important events. He recently threw a fit right when we were supposed to leave for a Bat Mitzvah, screamed at me for an imagined slight, and made us late. I suspect he has a mental disorder surrounding changes in routine, because he does this every time there is a wedding or similar. I try to always be in charge of transportation so I have some leverage. Yes, it's really troubling.

Here's what you do:
1. He can bring whatever the heck he wants, including his VR set, for entertainment, if he's such a big baby about it.
2. In exchange he doesn't get to complain anymore, and he can agree with you on a code word: "Honey, you seem stressed" or whatever.
3. Also in exchange, you agree to work on your anxiety surrounding time management. I support you entirely on being early/on time, but I suspect you make everyone super stressed-out in the process, and that's what he's reacting to, because it stresses him out too.
