If you and your husband are traveling and both of you are unsure of the directions on how to get to the location, yes you have the directions from the internet, however they are a bit confusing and your parents used to live near this area so your dad is very familiar with the area, so you call your dad for directions; should your husband feel disrespected by your action. Yes, all the wife did was called her dad for reassurance. Should this make your husband feel that you do not have enough confidence in him to allow him to find the address or do you think your husband should not take it that way because all you were trying to do was help to locate the address and to avoid wasting time driving around an unfamiliar area? My husband and myself are looking forward to viewing the Yahoo Answers. We would like to hear from both sides and points of views Female and Male. Please help.

A man succumb to asking for directions? Unheard of, never. Hed lose some of his macho male ego and his built in compass. Just about every wife in the world for years has gone thru this at one point or another with the exact same reaction/result. A man would never ever no matter what ask for directions even when he knows damn well hes lost and has no way out but to ask directions. Hed rather lose an arm or his favorite chair before he gives in to asking directions. There must be some unwritten law in Nature somewhere that forbids a man to admit defeat in this area. And to think you actually could help him, thats adding misery to insult and for him to take it would have broken some male macho law of conduct. Good luck and Merry Christmas

Personally, I just want to find spanishflyin_tx and marry him, but that doesn't really answer the question does it? Doing my best to be objective (because I so side with you -- after all who needs ego coddling added to their daily to do list?) and take this seriously, I would say it depends on the credibility factor. Did he say he knew where he was going? If not, case closed -- it's not reasonable for him to expect you to ride around all day in a car to show your respect, unless you have all day to kill and nothing better to do. If he says he's absolutely sure he can not only get there, but get there while you're still young enough to remember why you wanted to go, is that a decent indicator of the outcome? Or would he say exactly the same thing if he knew perfectly well he didn't have a prayer of finding it unless he stumbled over it by dumb luck? That's the key. If he has a good history of admitting that he doesn't know or isn't sure if that's the case, then I say reward him on the occasions when he says he's sure. Bottom line -- If men only had a glimmer of an idea of how very attractive they are when they admit to being uncertain, problems like this one wouldn't be so darn rampant.

Well...It is a known fact that MEN despise to ask for directions. I have found to be lost at times and had no other recourse than to stop and ask for directions. Me personally never had a problem with it but I guess the Avg Joe does. Go figure, the way gas prices are now days I'll swallow my ego and save me a tank full of gas rather than look stupid and sing "ring around the roses".....

It is such a trivial matter. It doesnt matter who gets the direction but to reach the intended destination.
If both of you argues of small matter, I am worried that if there is more bigger matter, how are you going to handle it.
Time to sit and ponder and good if honest discussions are made.
Good Luck
