Last night my boyfriend was running late, as usual. I dont nag much about being late because I think for the most part most people really do try to be on time but sometimes crap just happens. Well my boyfriend is late all of the time. He is always working and on the go. He is very busy. I give him a lot of slack because he is loving and hardworking. He does everything to make my life as easy as possible. Last night i called him (he was running at least 30 min late) he answers the phone ” Hiiii Babiieeee” seriously how can I get mad? LOL. He continues in his very sweet voice “Im almost there do you need anything from the store?” I say “No Im OK I’ll see you when you get here” he continues with the sweet voice “OK baby love you see you in a few”
This is a very smart man. Seriously, how can I get mad. Now he knows when he saw my number come up on his cell that I was prolly irritated so he made the decision to diffuse the situation by using the sweet voice coupled with loving words/offers (going to the store for me). Some may call this manipulation, well, yes it is, but it is for the greater good. It is for the greater good of the relationship.
My man wants to have a happy loving relationship, as do I. Now yes he could just be on time, but you know what, he just runs late, that’s him and that will prolly be him forever. BUT he knows how to makeup for it. He also knows when we HAVE to be somewhere at a certain time no ifs ands or buts. Everyone has their flaws and we just need to know what we can accept and what we cant. I can accept him being late. He gives so much love to me and he truly tries to be on time.
I guess what I am really saying here is he knows his own flaws and he tries. When he falls short he knows how to “make it up” to me. He doesn’t have to make it up to me but he wants to. He wants me to be happy, he wants to be happy and have a happy life with me. He doesn’t let his “macho ego” get in the way of anything when it comes to us. That’s a real man.

My fiance is exactly the same, ALWAYS late! I just need to work on not getting SO frustrated but it’s so hard to remain calm when he’s like 30 min late! But exactly like your man mine has a sweet comeback…”Do you want me to stop and get you a drink?” or something of the sort. That’s where they get us! They just love us and want us to be happy, being late isn’t their fault, I don’t know about yours but my guy gets distracted easily!
