when DH is late, I get so nervous

jen_k2 · October 2009

DH is two hours late in getting home from work. He works downtown Cleveland & always calls me when he's on the highway home. (he just does this so I know if we'll all be able to eat together or if we should start w/o him) He never stops anywhere w/o letting me know first.

He has no set time to leave, but he told me when he'd be leaving today. I know that he underestimated his leave time by an hour probably & then got pulled into someone's office. And he's not answering either phone.

I know this, but... I can't help thinking something happened to him on the way to the parking garage or there was an accident.

I'm tempted at the 3 hour mark to call one of his friends that he works with to see what's up. I just don't want to seem overbearing though. What if I call & look like an a$$? What if I don't call & something did happen?

Grrrr... Am I nuts? Is anyone else like this?

You're not overreacting. I'd call to check just so you have some peace of mind. Cleveland can be scary plus all the highway traffic. (I'm originally from Canton, so I know it's crazy around there.) I'm sure everything's okay, but you'll feel better if you call his work friends just to be sure.

I'd be the SAME exact way

I would call too. Probably after 2 hours. That is the type I am. If not I would be thinking of 100 different things that could have happened. For my own sanity I would have to call. Don't feel like you are overreacting.

Thanks ladies for making me feel better about calling. i just texted his work buddy & he was pulled into a meeting as he was leaving:) I knew it, but it feels good to have it confirmed.
