DH always late home from work, would this annoy you?

[RobertaFlack]

DH is always late home from work. We have a 14 month old. We have an agreement that he should be home at 7 and then we can eat together. Every day without fail he’ll be about 30 minutes late meaning I start the meal without him, or I try and wait with a hungry toddler. He never tells messages to say he’ll be late. Would this annoy you?

God, this thread is depressing. No wonder men behave the way they do.
It's disrespectful, assuming he knows you're cooking and waiting. How does he manage doctors appointments or going to the cinema? Does he always turn up half an hour late then?! Thought not.

Mostly people - often men - behave the way they do because others allow it.

There’s a lot of threads on here about situations - and I know they would never happen to me in the way described as I simply wouldn’t have allowed what led up to them in the first place.

Boundaries are so so important.

If I lived with someone who told me what time to be home from work I would leave.

Really? Wow.

Anyway, I’m hardly dictating to my husband. This is something we have agreed so he can see his son before he goes to bed.

Yet he never or seldom keeps to the agreement.
