I'm married and I don't get it either. Are we missing something? Naked babes? Days, not hours? Police? Anything other than that, tell her to shut her pie hole and make you and yer bro some margaritas!

I could see her being a little scolding. It's just basic consideration. When I forget to leave a note (or otherwise inform her) it's what they call "being inconsiderate". I try to leave a note or bring the cell phone with me. A cell phone means you're never out of nagging range...except maybe in Montana.

But if she is really pissed it's because your little adventure demonstrates that she has not properly broken your spirit.
Bad dog! bad dog!

Just do what I do. Give her the speech about you being the Alpha Male , and the order of hierarchy and that you make the rules and run the house , and how dare she question where you have been. Tell her if she dont like it, she can just go to the kitchen and cook your dinner and deal with it!!

Well, just an update.

A bit was a couple of hours, and the beer flowed like water...

A bit of grovelling and apologizing, while she giggled at my hangover seemed to do the trick..

The main reason for her being upset is the fact I went out and didn't tell her I was even leaving.. The whole "you could have been killed..."

forgiveness is much easier to get than permission.
NEVER forget that.

she could've called and just asked you where you are

i trully believe it was a choice for her not to call. if she did, and found out where you are (ie: made the problem "not a problem"), she wouldn't really have any more reason to be mad at you. i sometimes think they look for a cause...

At least I've come to terms with it.

My very serious (marriage material) girlfriend says I'm bossy. Do I have hope or I am just being naíve?

If she says it today with a smile, the day after you get married she will say it with a frown and a glare that could melt the polar ice caps.

hmm...fairly hostile there. Sure that's not happening to you?

If she's gettin' some I"m happy for her...because I'm not sitting still.

And no stereo in the 911...replaced by fire and cutoff switches. iPod works fine...

a basic secret females do their best to hide is that at their core's foundation is "I can eventually fix him".
