My brother-in-law likes his steak like shoe leather. He is weird.

There's a country song that came out several years ago "Waitin' on a woman" by Brad Paisley. That song (and video) perfectly captures my wife and me. This past Sunday (on our way to church ironically) I about had a nuclear meltdown. "Y'all go ahead and get in the car I'll be out in 5 minutes" always turns into 15 minutes later and me going back into the house only to find her doing something else. I'll never understand it, because it's LITERALLY every.time. we go somewhere.

My FiL fixed this for me before I ever met my wife. He was a marine and was early for everything. If you weren’t ready early he would leave without you. 8:00 AM meant 7:45.

In your case, if you can figure out how to change a woman’s habits, the rest of us have good money for you.

I've gotten into the habit, where I'm able, of telling my wife the time we need to leave is 15 minutes earlier than the time when we really need to leave. Less stressful.

Yeah, it is like 30 minutes for me. But I have also learned that the world doesn't care as much about being on time as I do, so I stopped stressing about it in social situations. If we arrive 30 minutes late for a social function, we are often well ahead of the crowd.

I like sex too much to do this. I've left my son and my daughter before. But I'm not from Arkansas ("UncleDaddy! UncleDaddy!) so the consequences of doing that didn't bother me.

You are a lot younger than I am.

If it weren't for sex drive we'd hunt'em like game. But that dang sex drive...

True story. My great grandfather was 100% Choctaw Indian. He was one of the mildest, meekest, kind hearted souls you'd ever meet. My great grandmother on the other hand had a little too much Irish in her and living with her was like bear hugging a porcupine. PawPaw rarely said anything back to Memaw when she'd get into him. He'd just shake his head, do what she asked and walk off. One time they were down visiting kin folks around the Biloxi, MS area. They'd already been there a day longer than they were supposed to. Memaw told him she was thinking about maybe staying "just" one more day. PawPaw said no, they'd already outstayed their visit and it was time to go. She tore into him in front of her sister and family. PawPaw never said a word back. He just went back to his room, quietly put all his things in the car and drove back to Meridian, without her knowing. It wasn't uni about an hour or so later they all realized he'd left her there.

He'd had enough. One of the very few times he ever went against her wishes. But the hell he caught when she got home. LOL!

My wife and I go to church in separate cars. I am never late. She is late about 90% of the time. She is never late for work though. Go figure.

Yeah, I've made that suggestion and it's a no go. One time (emphasis on "one time") I just got in my truck and left. Again, "one time"... LOL!

I cannot ever tell if a woman is interested in me anymore. I am completely clueless. I cannot tell if she is just being nice or if she actually is interested.

I have called it a passive-aggressive behavior...I really don't want to go or don't want to go on your schedule, so I'll be late and control things that way. My spouse sees a time to leave as a suggestion, not as a real agreement...LOL.

She probably doesn't know either. In our non-commitment, keep your options open world, relationships are more difficult than ever. Hang in there...and don't be afraid to just ask...

Amen - Ask - life is so much better with someone at your side that the risk of rejection is worth it.
