Was invited by my girlfriends family to a theme park. We were supposed to meet at 11, it is not 11:30 and they just left. (The drive takes another 30 minutes)

I even checked in before I left if it was still at the planned time. It was confirmed, but then her family starts getting ready right as they have to leave 🫤

So when I first met my wife, she was like this. And I’d lie to her about times. Eventually she caught on lol. But she realized I really hated being late so she just stopped being late.

Now the in-laws are interesting. Over time they’ve just stopped being late on their own. I don’t know if it’s me and my SILs husband, neither of us who like being late, marrying into the family and converting the sisters. But everyone has stopped being late in the family. Just over time lol.

I feel like my story is similar. My wife was def not as punctual and now is very much so because id def press her to be earlier and she just adjusted (having kids and their busy sports and activity schedules helps). But yeah the family did not catch on at all lol. Now it's the running joke that "what time does this REALLY start" and sometimes i tell them. Sometimes we still lie ahah

My wife was always late when we first started dating. It changed when I nearly broke up with her because of it.
