[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. [b]If B thinks it’s ok to be late for their friends and family, fine.[/b] However it is disrespectful to the other couple, Spouse A, and the restaurant to be late.

If I had told my spouse on multiple occasions that it was important to me to be on time to meet friends or family, a scheduled event, or restaurant reservation and they repeatedly failed to be punctual, I would assume they didn’t care. I wouldn’t give them the option to take an Uber later, I would say they were home and not feeling well. We would got to fewer events together. I would be flexible however on family plans that didn’t involve other people waiting on us or a set start time. For example if we agreed to go to the farmer’s market on Saturday around 10am and we didn’t leave until 10:30, I would say nothing and roll with it.

Not fine. My friend, who is habitually late, was going to make me late to my own bridal shower (thrown about 45 minutes away from where friend and I lived). I left without her. We've been friends for almost 30 years and are very close but it's absolutely rude for her to keep me waiting all the time, especially when the party was for me. But she does it anyway and it drives me crazy. Last time she was 45 minutes late for breakfast so I ate without her because I was starving. There is no excuse for being late and everyone trying to act like it's ok is totally missing how annoyed people are with you. It's so disrespectful. [/quote]
