if your SO was 1 hour - 4 hours late at times without notifying you (because you're expecting them), would you be a lil mad?

if it was because of a good reason, i would understand. otherwise, yeah i would be upset, especially if it happened frequently. as for the not notifying me, there really is no excuse so i would bitch about that. i would just point out that a phone call takes 30s and would keep me from wasting hours of my time.

I get worried if an hr.. and more and more irritated/po'ed as the time grows longer.

Infact, my husband did something like this the other day to me. He normally calls me to tell me hes leaving work so i can start dinner and have it ready when he walks in the door. But he called me and said "I'm leaving in 5 minutes" well 5 minutes turned into 1 1/2 hours! and he never called. I was pissed.

That's just plain rude and disrespectful.

If it kept happening there would have to be some serious behavior changes on her part.

Yeah but you're a chick, guys would never ask their g/f to call when they leave work. I say give her the benefit of the doubt, but next time slap her around a litle....j/k j/k but give her a good talkin to if she does it again. I'd probably be mad but sh!t happens

EDIT: re-read your post and aparently it's still too early for me to be posting. :p Calling to start dinner is a cook think for a wife to have ya do. I retract my statement.

I wouldn't get mad as long as there was a legitimate reason. However if its a habit then yes, i would be mad. I would be more worried then mad if its was a few hours.

it's a habit, but at times there are reasons that are given. let's say you and your SO have this routine thing going on for the past few months or so and when something interrupts that pattern, it seems strange doesn't it? of course you adapt and you change again. but then what if things repeatedly change (in terms of time)? a simple notification that there is a disruption in the normal time process, and things should be fine, right? (meaning, if your SO comes an hour + late from work without telling you why or 3 hours late because they had a prior engagement with somebody, wouldn't you get mad? a little courtesy is needed in order to prevent the woes of worrying about someone is needed by everyone i think.

Late like, "I'm at work and have to stay overtime" late, or late like "I know I was supposed to pick you up at the airport at 2:00, but I decided to go shopping for 4 hours" late?

That sounds just like what my parents would tell me when I was a teenager.

late like, she got off of work and went shopping/run errands for 2 hours without telling you so, so you had to worry because an hour ago you had already called her work to see if she was already running late, and after calling and knowing that she was already off of work an hour ago, you are getting a little worried because, basically, that's what people who care for others do.

(sorry bout the major run-on sentence)

it's true though. it's just human nature to worry at least. of course there is always a limit, and when you go past that limit (time limit), you tend to react in a certain way. i believe this is universal really. like, worrying about your siblings, offspring, or any other people who are important to you in general.
of course they all vary and have different degrees of worrying.

But, anyway, like I said, those who have not watched the book or are not crucial on book-to-movie adaptations; GO WATCH BOURNE SUPREMACY. I was just shocked by how awesome the movie was. The whole plot and the action just made it a well 2 hours spent to watch that movie.
