To much to ask?

Okay, so i'm a little paraniod. But who at nine months pregnant ISN"T? So my hubby wil leave and drive an hour and a half to get to work and about 45 mins when he goes to school. we just got a new car that he isn't yet used to driving... Well, when he leaves, I tell him to CALL ME when he GETS THERE so i KNOW hes SAFE....Apparently that's too hard for him. Because he forgets. Almost everyTIME. And he did it again I'm sure. Because his class starts at 6 and its 6:45 and he never called....I mean, im sure he made it there. And i'm not going to be annoying and call and check. But is it too much to ask???? I had to make sure he got to work earlier for this same reason. Its not like it's just down the road. He has to travel on highways and stuff. I mean, what if GOD FORBID something DID happen. I wouldn't know because I'd have to shake off the fact he didn't call and once again ASSUME he's safe. What do i do? Am i crazy or not? How do i get him to call!!!!?

Alot of guys just don't like to feel like they have to check up. If he thinks about you or wants to let you know something, he will call. My husband hardly ever calls when i ASK him to.

well good luck. I drive an hour to work one way and there is no way I would call my husband everyday to let him know that I am ok. I am a capable adult that doesn't need to check in, and vice versa. Don't think so morbid. Most likely he is ok, only worry if he hasn't come home when he was supposed to and you can't reach him then.

lol, everytime my boyfriend leaves for work I say "be careful, don't drive stupid" and he's always like "i know!" haha. But i do it everytime because I'm so worried something might happen to him and I'll be left alone with the baby.

i think i'd be scared for him too. does he get enough sleep for all that driving?
well, if he doesnt call you, call him, leave a message.
most of the time guys forget to call.

Yeah i guess that's what it is, you know? Not just that I'll be left with the baby, but that we're a young family just STARTING our lives. And it scares me to think my child could EVER grow up without his or her daddy...
Daubsbabymama: Yeah he gets sleep, I mean, not 9 hours more like 6 but I believe he can handle staying awake.

My hubby use to do the same thing too. This is what he did though. he honestly worked about a mile down the road from where we lived so I wasn't worried so much about him making it there as what I was him making it home (we didn't live in an excellent neighborhood, and he worked until about 3 am) So one friday he went to work, and he was normally out early on fridays like around midnight, well this was right after I had my 2nd baby, and I sure as shit didn't wait up for him, anyways, I woke up at about 1 am or so to feed the baby, he wasn't home, I thought, okay he just worked late, was up again about 4 or 5 am, still no travis.. I called and called his cell nothing, well I went back to bed, bc I knew he was supposed to be back at work at 7am that day thinkin maybe he went in early. Well my oldest got up at about 7/7:30 ish and I called again to make sure he was okay, nothing. I called all of his family seeing if maybe they heard from him the night before (they lived in a different state) and they hadn't, well I couldn't go looking for him, bc he had our only vehicle... So I called the cops on him, I got the number for the local police said I haven't seen my husband since the night before and told them where he worked at and such and they went up there and found him, apparently he spent the night at work bc he got out late and didn't want to get home just to go back up there in a few hours, and during the night his cell died. (trust me I didn't believe him at first) But that was the last time he didn't call me! now even if he is a half hour late from the time he tells me he will be here, he calls and says I will be a little late. I think that stuck in his head.
maybe you could do somehting like that to your hubby? does he work over night, or maybe do something drastic to get the point across? It worked for me thats for sure!

Thanks everyone for your replies, they are much appreciated   It's just something I'm going to have to work at I guess, to tell myself everythings okay..

my husband is a horrible driver so i make him text message me when he gets to work every night. see if your SO could just press resend on the text b/c maybe then he would be able to remember. my husband sometimes forgets but not very often and then he usually messages me on his first break.

I finally got my hubby to text me when he gets there. He sends me the same one everyday, so all he has to do it click on it and re-send. It's been working for us since he started his new job. And now he calls me before he leaves so I know he's on his way. It took over a year before I could get him too. But now it's in his routine.
