I'm ready to scream.

[snipsnsnails]

Deep breath, mama. Did you call the office to see if they can push back the appt.? I'd be ticked, too. ((Hugs))

[luckyval]

Have you checked in with him to see how far away he is?

[CrazyLucky]

Why didn't you switch cars in the morning? I don't blame you for being livid. I hate tardiness to begin with, but when in this case it's even more annoying.

[winelady]

I'd be pissed too. Call the office, tell them they are about 15 minutes behind. The drs office is probably running that far behind too.

[daisybuchannan]

Ugh annoying!

[Deleted]

He must die.

[Yankees21]

So frustrating!

[eddy]

Lateness gives me serious anxiety. I get it.

[Deleted]

ARGH I would be livid too. My dh used to pull shit like that too. And I would be the one calling the dr, calling daycare. Not him. Geezus. I am angry for you

I'm super anxious about this appointment anyway and the fact that I can't be there and now they are going to be late.
And because they are going to be late, they will be late picking up my oldest too.

And he's mad at ME! 

I am feeling all antsy for you.

[EmilieMadison]

I feel ragey for you, puddle.

[LLL]

H (who has no concept of time) does this to me on the regular. Ugh, I'm sorry

[Deleted]

I would be livid too. This is totally something my DH would pull and be all breezy about it. I am not breezy DH, NOT BREEZY.

[chickadee77]

Yeah, I'd be livid and probably climbing the walls. Tardiness gives me anxiety, as well. Unfortunately, H grew up in a chronically late family (they still are!). He's slowly come around to my way of thinking, but it took awhile.

[bonquiqui]

I am sorry puddle.  I would be frustrated too, an I don't get why he is mad at you.  ugh

[wkatie]

That sucks. I'm sorry

[cuddlyevil]

I'm sorry Puddle. Your H needs a swift kick somewhere painful for being pissed at you.

[cinderbella]

ugh. That sucks. How late were they?

[poppyseed]

Did everything go ok, puddle?

[CrazyLucky]

He's pissed at you for what? Did you make up last night? Sometimes when I realize I screwed up, I get pissy with DH. Hopefully your DH realizes he's being an ass this time and apologizes.

[kaybee85]

Is he often late? Like LLL, my H has no concept of time. I have found that telling him in advance, "This will make me angry if you are late." so that he really understands the things that are no joke to me tardy-wise.

He should be respectful of your time anyway, just like my husband should be, but it has cut down on fights.

[Mrs.Rad888]

For those of you married to people like me that always seem to be running behind, do you ever get to a point where you are able to just shake your head and move on? Or do you still get pissed 10+ years down the road. I'm the one who always seems to be 10-15 minutes behind, and it pissed DH off. I'm not doing it intentionally, but DH sees it as being disrespectful. I've gotten better, because who wants their SO mad at them, but it's  still a struggle. It's really like a block of time just disappears.

ETA: You know, I just realized that I thread jacked. I can take this to another thread if OP prefers.

My husband is typically on time, but my best friend is always running late.  We're approaching 15 years of friendship so it sort of applies to your question.  I can answer that it still irritates me.  In fact it probably irritates me more now than it used to.  When it was just me I could sort of shake my head or plan on her being late.  Now that she's making me wait with my son (and I'm planning around naps and his needs) it really angers me and honestly makes me meet up with her less often.  I have to be in the right mood to deal with it.

puddleofgrace we want an update! Did you murder your husband? How was E's appt?

She hasn't updated because they don't have wifi in jail. 

It's a day later and I'm just reading this post & seething on OP's behalf.

I'm your H in the scenario. I've only been married 4 years so I'll get back to your in 6 more years if it's still bothering me.

My H just thinks things take less time than they actually do. Oh a quick shower should only take 10 minutes (20 minutes later after I've come in and told him it's time to get out)... breakfast should only take 15 minutes max (20-25 minutes later) and that's after hitting snooze on the alarm twice. For example. It helps me slightly that he's making himself late for work and not me, but only slightly. I get anxious when I'm late/H is late.

H has gotten better. We communicate a lot about it.

A little marriage fun factoid: I LIE. When we need to be somewhere, say DINNER MFING RESERVATIONS to a nice restaurant, and I have booked for 7PM, I'll tell him "we have reservations for 6:30PM, Move your arse!". And you know what? When we pull up at 6:40PM, I'll say "I LIED! Our reservations are for 7!  Got you here on time (or early, whatevs) DIDN'T I???"

And that is how we now roll. Because my husbad is perpetually late to social functions. He can get to work on time, but DAMN he cannot get moving if we need to be somewhere on time.

So glad that it all worked out Puddle
