[quote=Anonymous]Yes, yes, yes, my husband is the same. Sometimes I don't understand if he's just too stubborn to admit he's late, or if he truly doesn't comprehend. We'll be in the car 30 minutes away from his parent's house, running late as usual, and if his parents call to ask for an ETA, he'll say "we'll be there in 10 minutes."

If we need to leave our house at 7pm, he'll hop in the shower at 6:45 believing he can be completely ready in 15 minutes. Well...at 7:30 he'll still be shoeless and saying "I'm ready, let's go! I just have to put on my shoes, find my wallet (which could be anywhere from the bathroom to the basement or maybe left in the car or seriously maybe on the front porch), brush my teeth, fill my water bottle, and check the engine oil. We're fine!" (just like an above poster mentioned!).

The WORST was the day of my scheduled C-section. OMG. He was running late, and every step of the way I was saying "no, you do NOT have time for a shower, come on!" . . . "You're shaving??? Please, we have to get going in like 5 minutes!" . . . "You don't have time to make toast, just eat a muffin at the hospital!!!" . . . "NO WE DO NOT NEED TO STOP FOR GAS!!" All the while, he was so nonchalantly frittering away the morning. I was pissed, but it was the day of our child's birth so I held back.

I hate it that he never apologizes to anybody for being late either. I'm always the one who has to tell people "sorry we're late," but he just does not see it as necessary whatsoever.

Many many times when he is to meet us somewhere, and is running late, I'll call him (he would never think to call to say he's running late) him, and he'll say "I'll be there in like 10 minutes." So I tell the others "he says 10 minutes, so you know that means he'll be here in about 30 minutes."
