[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spouse A just destroyed their marriage because of a stupid dispute over a diner with a coworker.
Who cares of they showed up late. It’s only a diner.
Spouse A would be right if this was an important appointment where getting late would have had devastating consequences, like getting late to work or an interview and losing your job, etc..

This was just a f*ing diner. Getting late has no major consequences. 
It’s important to be on time, but this diner wasn’t the time where they needed to act like this.[/quote]

Really confused why this would destroy a marriage. You were late. He got annoyed. You traveled separately. It's not that big a deal.

Explain again why you can't be polite to his coworker?[/quote]

No.  I was late.  You could have left and had it be no big deal, but you were angry, and any feeling you have must be experienced by everyone around you.  
So, repeatedly threatened me, then finally left in anger.  When I arrived, thinking it was over, you tried to further embarrass me in front of your friends. You couldn’t let it go and until I was just as angry as you are.

Tell me why this is the kind of household I should raise my children in?  [/quote]

Are you the OP? Because if you’re not you’re just making shit up. Such a tired trope. And even if you’re not OP, learn how to adult and honor your commitments to be somewhere at a previously agreed upon time. That’s what adults do. But I can see how a princess like you thinks the whole world revolves just around her. [/quote]

I’m not the OP.  I don’t think the OP posted again after the first post.  
I’m just someone who is surprised that so many people think it’s okay to take your anger out like this over something so trivial.

You wouldn’t act like this to your kids or to a stranger.  Why do it to your spouse?  [/quote]

I teach my kids to be on time.

Do you expect an airplane to wait 15-30 minutes for you too?[/quote]

Of course not. I am on time, which means I arrive at the gate and do not have to sit down before boarding. 20-40 flights per year; haven’t missed a flight yet.[/quote]

Great. So you are capable of bring on time. Now do that when you promise to meet friends at a restaurant. It’s rude and entitled to have them stand around waiting for you.[/quote]

I take input on this issue from my friends themselves. They don’t agree with you. Thanks though![/quote]

Ha, keep telling yourself that. I'm never going to berate a friend who is late but I am definitely going to be annoyed with them. [/quote]

This. [b]You can't just believe what people say.[/b] I would be polite to their face but annoyed on the inside. And it would affect what plans I'm willing to make with them. I would never say it aloud to them, though. [/quote]

That’s why we aren’t friends. LOL[/quote]

Oh dear. You're not friends because they are tired of your rudeness and constantly being late.[/quote]
