Coming late?

I dont get it.

this happened once, I she was reading and that made her go shower later than she wanted.
it happened a second time, to go to her parents for dinner. when she was ready (at the time we were due to arrive 45mins away) I told her have fun, I dont deal well with being late and I do not want to be embarrassed by her tardiness. I then closed the car door and walked back inside.
see the key here is to have that conversation at the car when she is already in.

and lo and behold this has never been an issue again. yes there was a massive fight, but I had all the proof of telling her to get ready, to not have another smoke and to go shower well in time. she was angry at me, but we resolved the issue and now we are never late unless it is both of our faults (if you know what I mean :P)
 
Or play a game instead, or play your music in the house as loud as possible, anything to irritate the ish out of her to hurry up.
 
thank god my SO doesn't do late, not with me at least. It drives me up the farking wall. SImply hate, HATE IT!!!!!!
 
Why not tell her the event starts 30min earlier then it really does? Should mean you get there are roughly the right time? People who are always late will never change so you need too. Less stressful on both of you.

Me and the wife attend lots of events, dance classes, church and cell meetings and other.

She almost always, start to prepare a few minutes before the time, [she was perhaps,watch tv or play a game on the phone]. We climb in the car and go world rally style and are just on time, but the poor car.

So this year I made a rule, if we are driving late, I am not going.
I want to force her to be ready on time and drive normally and be on time

am I fair

I think you should add marriage counselling to your list of events.

If your relationship is so broken you can't discuss this issue and get around it as a couple, you have bigger problems than being late for the latest soiree.

There are only 2 ways of arguing with a woman, neither one works.
 
For us it's easy.

Social is lax unless it comes with a reservation or booking.
We don't do religious stuff, that also helps.

Everything else is on time or before.
 
I often find that I have to take a dump before we have to leave for something. Almost like my body senses the travelling and possible lack of ablution facilities during the journey, and at our destination. And when it happens, it always happens 2min before we have to leave.
