[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, these posts arguing that it’s perfectly fine to leave the house without telling anyone you’re going out are odd. As people many years ago might have said, were they raised in a barn?

Just being kind and respectful to others means that you let others in the house know when you’re leaving. Simple, basic courtesy toward another human being in the home.

I have a child who is on the spectrum and I think she is absolutely perfect, so I don’t say this as an insult. But if someone thinks it’s irrational to expect your partner to give you a heads up that you’re leaving the house, I’d think they are either a jerk or autistic. It’s true that there is no inherent reason someone should do that, but it’s still common courtesy I think someone can assume it to be the norm rather than something that needs to be hashed out beforehand.

But the worst part of OP’s sorry is her husbands reaction. I see that they worked it out and he acknowledged he was being defensive, so it sounds like it’s all taken care of. [/quote]
