gingerb: I love babies. I've spent my life looking after them one way or another. It is nice to have another generation to care for. My brother's kids are the same age as my grandkids, and I alternate between both houses. Don't know why they like me, but they cling like little limpets. Rather sweet I think.
Oh thats gorgeous Ging, I can tell just how much you love children & thats such a sweet quality
Da10th: I personally wouldn't have an issue with it. What issue they may have I couldn't say personally because it could vary on other things as well.
But to get huffy puffy over something as minor as that definately would give me second thoughts for the simple fact, I would wonder how they reacted to something that was much more serious.
~JMO~
Exactly! If they tell me to call around 9pm, and I'm not calling at 9pm sharp, they'd better not be sitting there watching the clock to see how long after 9 it is before I call and get huffy with me about it. That will make for a very short relationship!

hmmm i dont get it..
My husband at the time boyfriend on here..
I said i would call but forgot and was on here chatting..
He did get a little upset..
How in the hell is that being a control freak..
He is nothing like that..
YOu guys here are saying for her to give up on it so easily
i feel she cares about this man..i think he does as well..becos he did get upset..
To the OP do as you feel..but if you care about him and he cares about you...i wouldnt let this little misunderstanding get out of hand and close the doors..
People do get upset when one says they will do something and dont
QuietStormF: moot point.. he was at his neighbors..and I called him and told him he said to call him back at 11... and he could have called me.. I killed some time on here.. waiting.. and he got mad... said if I had time to be online I could have called him?? Men.. who can figure them??
Sounds like a complete jerk to me. Yes, he could have called you.
And pardon the correction above, but I did it because this is one of the common errors on here, and I wanted people to know the correct word.
Mute means silent or unable to speak. Moot means irrelevant. And I realize it's irrelevant to the topic.
QuietStormF: Because you didn't call them at precicely the time they told you to, is this a control issue? or are they just trying to find fault..?
Is this the first time you haven't called them, or do you make a habit of not calling when you say you will? Did they tell you to call, or did you mutually agree to call?
One thing that's always funny is that we forget, as I did with my first response, that all stories have more than one side. A friend and I were talking about that last night, and apparently my memory is short...there are always three sides to any story. His, hers, and the truth.
There should be more to the story than this. The way you are presenting it makes it sound like a control issue, but if he just asked you to call and you didn't, why?

Hi Dru.. and yes I realized after I spelled it wrong.. thanks...
Ok he has brought the fact to my attention, that I omitted to mention that I had agreed to call him at 1100.. which I probably did.. but I didn't want to bother him at his neighbors twice in the same night.. so I thought I will simply wait to see him online.. meaning he is home, and then I intended to call.. Instead he sent me the email, turned off his phone and went to bed.
He says he did nothing wrong.. and it is my fault for not calling as agreed. Maybe he's right..

Just a misunderstanding..
Give the man a chance..
If you have feelings for him/things sometimes gets all mixed up..
It did for me and my husband..but he most certainly is not a control freak becos i said i would do something and i didnt and he got upset../so what we all get upset from time to time..its good for the soul
QuietStormF: He has my number.. he could have just as easily have called and let me know he was home..
I think you need to work this out amicably privately, and not here in the forums, especially where you're only providing one side of the story and a good man can't defend himself without turning it into a nasty thread, which he's avoiding so far despite what you're doing here.
