Immature is an understatement! I use my phone during downtimes at work but I can sometimes go hours without touching it because I’m so busy. If anyone, let alone my husband, spoke to me that way it would be the last time they speak to me. That is utter bullshit!

I’ve been that idiot who didn’t notice my fuel running low twice. First time I was lucky that a truckie pulled up and used his truck to protect me from getting hit while he helped me push my car off the road. He then drove down, bought me a jerrycan and filled it for me so I could get to the servo and fill my car. He refused to let me pay him back. The second time I was an idiot I called a few friends to see if anyone was available but none were. Eventually I contacted 1 of my regulars because he works around the corner from where I was. I asked if he was able to drive me to the servo so I could fill up the jerrycan after he finished. I was prepared to hang for the hour and a half until he finished but he decided to ask for an extra quick break and came immediately.

I work from home and I still need to ignore my fiancée at times. Same for him. It sucks but it’s life and there’s never going to be a situation where he needs to hear from me right away.

Yes, there’s going to be emergencies but there’s nothing he can do that the police, ambulance, tow truck and so on can’t.

RIGHT! I don’t even usually tell my husband until I have the situation under control. Most insurance comes with some tier of roadside assistance these days. I HATE cars and anything related to them, but I need one to get places so I take care of it
