[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My now DH didn’t wait with me for my cab home from DC on the 3rd date and I *almost* dumped him for not being gentlemanly. But rather than doing something rash, the next time he contacted me I let him know (nicely) that I didn’t appreciate that and felt unsafe. He felt so bad and never made that mistake again, and he still doesn’t like me telling that story after all these years (I think it’s funny now!) because he feels so bad. I’m sooo grateful now I didn’t dump him because he is actually an amazing, protective husband but I think he legit didn’t think about it at the time.

I’d say if you think he’s a good guy otherwise, speak up! And if he doesn’t correct himself, then dump him. Some men are capable of rising to standards, if you just let him know what they are.[/quote]

My husband did not wait for my Uber at the end of our second date. Just left me standing on the street waiting while he dashed off to the metro. He still is not very gentlemanly or protective or well mannered. Like he will get in the car and get settled in and buckled in while I am waiting outside the car, locked out, waiting for him to unlock it so I can get  in (yes I have addressed this with him many times - he thinks I’m being dumb to care).

So, it could be a red flag. I find this part of my husband very annoying and it makes me feel a little uncared for.[/quote]
You should have dumped him after the second time it happened, girlfriend! Or as soon as he told your feelings are dumb. It’s too late for you, but OP still is free and able to sniff out this guy.[/quote]

Yea, you may be right. I’m posting this to shore up the argument that such things should be noted and not just brushed off entirely.[/quote]

I appreciate your honesty.so.many posters here throw a fit if a woman doesn't want to give a man multiple chances or train him to be thoughtful[/quote]
