Normal morning, I am on her about time again. I have to stop that. I know it bugs the crap out of her. It is one of her pet peaves, but if it wasn't for me, everyone would be late. I have to stop rushing everyone in the morning.
Yes, H4H, I think you should stop that & that kind of thing. My H used to do that with me; we wound up developing more of a father-child relationship instead of a healthy R of equals. Better for your W to be a few minutes later than nagging her continually. And I wonder sometimes if the nagging helps anyway?
That is sad how your W sounds pretty unreliable right now. I know that when my H started doing that too is was so upsetting and out of character for him. I have learned to basically have zero expectations of him so that when he does come through it is a pleasant surprise.
I agree you should probably try to stop pursuing your W as best you can. Supposedly that makes the WAS run faster and further! Karen
