Dh came home late the other day and he is usually home at 5:00 pm. He came home at 6 or later and after he sat down to eat I asked him where he was he said don't worry about it. Jeeepers I was just curious. I think he had an apt that he didn't tell me about b/c sometimes in the evenings on Monday's he goes to the chiropractor. Just frustrates me b/c I told him we had something going on 2 evenings this week and now he is changing those plans for himself to go help someone...I can't really complain about that b/c he is getting money for this helping.
Does your dh/so usually call when they are going to be late?
Sorry for the vent.

DH usually doesn't call. but because he mostly works evenings, and has a 30 mins. drive to and from work, if he's not home on time, I usually panic!! (mostly at night) He's getting better about calling....

He is usually on time or sometimes he calls and he usually wants supper made and ready or close to it when he gets home.

Have you tried talking to him about how his recent decisions/actions are making you feel? Sometimes men lean towards selfish and don't tend to think about how their decisions are effecting everyone else. Was it important to do these things with you this week? If so, let him know that.
DH will always call if he is running late or plans change. He is a huge planner like me, though, so he sympathizes if something changes.

My DH always calls, too. I pretty much know where he is all the time. And same with me. We don't tend to go too far.

Cyndy no it wasn't important that he does these things w/ me & the kids it was just going to the kids' schools and meeting ds's teacher, going to a freezie pop social tomorrow to meet other families at her school. For awhile he was pretty good about calling. No, I haven't talked to him about how it affects me. If he isn't home the kids ask if he will be home for supper when we sit down for supper. I am also someone who wants to know everything and it drives him crazy.

DH calls 99.9% of the time. Only because I have issues if he doesn't due to something that happened in the past, before his time even. He know how I feel about it. If he's going to be more than 10-15 minutes late he calls.

DH works overnights, kinda, and gets off work any time between 230a.m. and 4a.m. so no, he doesn't call cuz I'm sleeping when he comes home anyways. On the weekends when he works I usually text him to see when he'll be home and if he's late it's not too big of a deal.

an hour is not that bad though... couldve been anything. My hubby doesn't have a set time to be home... could be anywhere from 5:30-7:00. I try to gauge during the day when he'll be leaving, but it doesn't always work that way. Then he has an hour commute homeish... and if there is traffic and I hate to say it out loud *snow*.... then it may be more like 2-2 1/2 hours "late." He may call before leaving work or email, but I don't like him calling from his car (it's an unspoken rule for us not to use them while driving) unless it's an emergency....

I had to have a talk with my hubby at one point that when he is going to be coming home late and he doesn't call that all sorts of disaster scenarios go through my mind. So now he tends to call more often than not.

DH Lets me know via text if he knows he is going to be late. If I am not sure, I will text him, and he will respond. We have always had an open line of communication.

If DH is running late and I dont hear from him after about 20 minutes, I call him.
What concerns me though with your original post is that he told you not to worry about it and never answered what happened to cause him to run late. It could be nothing but that's not a very nice answer when you were concerned.

Yeah your Dh shouldn't stay stuff like that. It is your worry because you are married! I get PISSED when Dh doesn't call to let me know he is running late. I think it is disgustingly rude not to! Of course not if it's only a few minutes but anything more than 30 minutes late you damn well better be on that phone calling me.
