C'mon she has to understand the circumstances though. I haven't done any polls to back this up, but I'd say the vast majority of us are sneaking out when the SO isn't looking. When a snowpocalypse closes everything down and we're stuck at home with her, exactly how are we supposed to get out?

The roads aren't at all bad, and I doubt they will be. Not a meteorologist, but logic tells me if it's barely touched 32F over the past week, then the ground won't be cold enough to hold the snow. So technically you *can* get out to see her, but at the same time you *can't*.

If she's pissed, there isn't much you can do. Send an apology, explain that you can't break away, and see if you can reschedule.

There's no reason for her not to be fully aware of the storm and know that she was risking cancellations. I wasn't sure how the actual weather would pan out, but I know if there's talk of school and business closures, I should probably take heed. So I cancelled my appointments myself.

There's not much you can do. I would hope it is just a kneejerk, irrational reaction and she'll come to her senses and not hold it against you.

I left home an hour ago where there was 3-4" on the ground in NoVA. I get to work on the VA side of the Key Bridge and it's just rain with almost nothing on the ground. 25 minute drive and the difference in accumulation is pretty drastic.

i have an appt with someone this evening. Now, I haven't heard from her yet (today was her first scheduled day, so she might have planned on flying in today, not sure).  But I made that appointment and if she is at the hotel, you bet your ass I'm finding an excuse to get out of the house. First, I have been building up the anticipation in my head to see this perfect 10 hottie for weeks. That is enough motivation. Second, I feel bad if she makes it to DC and has all her appts cancelled. Think of an excuse dude, it shouldn't be that hard, unless your SO has you completely tied down.

It is not like this storm is a surprise to anyone.  If you knew that there was a possibility that you were going to trapped at home with your wife, you should have taken that into consideration when scheduling the appointment.  She has a right to believe that part was in your control.

Sounds perfectly understandable. Especially, being able to get away..

dont be too hard on yourself for not being able to meet up for appt. She should understand but for future reference just cancel next time. me personally?, i rather you cancel in advance than wait around to last minute.


if she's pissed send her a cute lil email to difuse if she's still a bitch - then good thing you saved your money. LOL
