your not wrong, but if you know where he is and know he isnt doing anything wrong dont get to upset, sometimes men have away of getting overly involved ie. tv jokes about men. I use to get fearous with my husband, now i joke about it, when he says how long he wil be gone, i laugh and say i know to take what you say times it by 10 add 45 minutes, but if its longer then that your in trouble :-)!!

No. Sometimes married people take each other for granted and forget to use common courtesy with each other. Don't be nasty to him, but just tell him you want to know if he's going to be out later because it keeps your anxiety level down, what with all the danger in the world, and because you want to know exactly how many hours, minutes and seconds of blessed peace and quiet you are going to have until he comes home. Being direct with caring and humor at the same time is usually easier for men to handle. All good husbands are still a work in progress. Hang in there.

No. If he's a few minutes late, let it go, but if it's consistently happening or if he's late by over half an hour, he should call. Just talk to him at a neutral time and say something like: "I understand it's hard to know exactly what time you'll be home from (whatever activity or location), but if you are going to be later than (give the time) then I'd really appreciate it if you called to let me know." Explain you've got things you'll be doing or suggest something he'd enjoy for when he should return and explain that you need to know when to expect him.

I do not think anything is wrong with your husband telling you. Actually he needs to but from experience most men will not they make up any excuse to keep from checking in. But let him know it is important to you and also ask would he appreciate if you dissapeared and didn't tell him anything

I don't think its wrong you ask but he may think you don't trust him also he can tell you a time but that means nothing really....Trust him to go out and have fun and don't make a big deal out of it if hes late they get to playing and they forget also he may have some friends that put him on the spot and make fun if he says I told my wife I will be home at a certain time....when he says he is going out just be supportive OK Hun have a good time and if you get to drunk call me I will come get you this shows him you are OK with him going out and he will come home at a good time....trust me making a big deal out of it just make them want to hurt you by staying out longer...I hope you understand what I mean....Good luck and ttyl God Bless.......

No, this is common courtesy and part of the communication that should be active in healthy a marriage.

Yes and no... It shouldn't have to be asked for one thing, it is common courtesy to already know how to that, but yes it is right to inform him of your feelings if he is that ignorant, communication like this can only help.

It is simply common courtesy, but some men lack it (my husband included)

I don't think so. I think it is respect for you as his wife not necessarily "checking in". Think about how worried you would be if you expected him in at a certain time and he didn't show at that time. Its common courtesy.

It's a common courtesy that should be automatic for married people.
