I am going on a girls trip to Cancun. There are 4 of us. Two of us live about 20 minutes away from the other two. We will all ride to the airport together. Our return flights have us landing at 9:25 and we live 45 minutes away from the airport. When I talked with DH about times, he was like it will be so late when you guys come in, can you find a ride? I called my friend who lives close by and her DH said the same thing!!!! I told her this is what happens when you are married 42 and 43 years. So my DH is going to take us to the other gal's house (they live across the street from each other we will leave our house around 6:45 am and pick my GF up to drop us off and her DH will pick us up. My DH likes having my car at home because it greats great gas mileage and has Sirrius radio  |

Your post is amusing. We have been married 48 years now. For the past 4-5 years, DH does not come to the airport to pick me up when I return from a trip. He has me catch the light rail train, make the transfer to our route and then he picks me up about a mile from home.
In his defense, he rarely drives anymore....but it is interesting that he is OK with not greeting me at the airport.

Last week mine made me take an airport bus to a location that was about 30 min from the house rather than an hour plus depending on crazy LA traffic.

We live 7 miles south of the LAX airport which can take 30-60 minutes depending on time of day. Husband will always insist on driving me even though I would almost rather take transportation.

I'm on the flip side, I have to pick up my husband at weird times.. he drives a truck OTR and gone weeks at a time. Sometimes he gets in at 3:00am or 2:00pm.. I'm like NOPE. I can't take off work to pick you up and I can't get up at 3:00am if I have to work. So he is stuck until 'normal' times.. lol.. or one of the kids get him.

While I will make him pick me up at the airport, I did tell him today he could go home after my knee surgery and try and get work time in.
Surgery is set for 7:30 AM, and I'm set to spend the night. He's got very little vacation time available most of which will be sucked up by a school trip to Italy this summer. We're being VERY cagey with his vacation, and I've spent too much time watching someone snore while they're in the hospital. My statement to him was if everything goes well, hang out until I get into a room and then head home.

I travel a lot. I never ask DH to take me to the airport or pick me up. It's about an hour each way, longer if traffic is bad, and that's a ridiculous amount of time for him to be trapped in the car. I just take an Uber.

I find the recent relationship threads very interesting.
My DH and I (by Pea standards) are very unromantic. We don’t hold hands. We don’t do “date nights”. We don’t celebrate the dates of when we met, etc.
However, there is absolutely no way that man would not take me to or pick me up from an airport. If he had to, he would move heaven and earth to do whatever he had to do to make sure that he drove me to the airport and picked me up. He has done it in early morning, the middle of the night, and thunderstorms and ice storms. The last thing we say to each other when we have to be far apart is “I love you. Come back to me.” And then he makes it happen.

Other than the first overnight in the hospital when I was actively in labor, after I had a c-section and had to stay in the hospital for almost a week he went home to sleep every night. Honestly I couldn’t blame him, the pull out vinyl couch thing looked awfully uncomfortable.
He does always come to get me from the airport. I try to choose flights that don’t leave or come in at horrible times though in an attempt to be accommodating.

Too funny!
27 years here, and DH always makes it a priority to pick me up, and I appreciate it!

We live super close to the airport, like don’t even have to get in the freeway if we didn’t want to close, and unless it’s a time when our son is awake I can’t go pick up/drop off my husband at the airport. I feel bad that he has to spend the money on a Lyft but the sleep schedule trumps all.

But I have picked him up 2 hrs. away at midnight and driven him home when his flight is cancelled. Usually he parks at the airport, but many times I take him and pick him up. He loves it when I do that and always thanks me for it. I had to laugh about your ice storm comment because I have done it in the snow! |
