[quote=Anonymous]It’s the one thing in my marriage that drives me the craziest, but it’s also sort of small potatoes. I wouldn’t let it bother me, but it feels like blatant disrespect and I’m tired of it. Otherwise he’s a wonderful husband, but every time this happens, my blood pressure goes through the roof because it’s so easily solved.

We have kids and I plan my evening around eating dinner as a family at 6. DH always calls when he leaves work, and I know his commute is an hour. Every so often he will call and say he’s on his way, but then 6 rolls around and he’s still not home. I’ll text asking his ETA and it’s always that he stopped to run an errand, ran into someone, etc. It’s happened twice this month. (I started to get suspicious so I checked his location and he’s always where he says he is.)

I’ve started feeding the kids and eating myself if I’m hungry. This isn’t about eating together, it’s not even really about time. It’s just like, if you’re calling to tell me you’re headed home, why not tell me you’re going to pick up dry cleaning and will be late? I would plan my time accordingly and wouldn’t rush to get food in the oven.

We’ve already discussed this until I’m blue in the face. It’s like he just doesn’t care. So, any advice to get him to be more courteous? Or ways to not care anymore?[/quote]
