Have you never got so engrossed in a conversation or activity with a colleague or friend that you lose track of time and forget to tell your SO you're going to

Have you never got so engrossed in a conversation or activity with a colleague or friend that you lose track of time and forget to tell your SO you're going to be late?
If it takes me 45 minutes to get home is it really that crazy that I might want my SO to be able to have dinner rather than awkwardly (and hungrily!) wait for me?
The approach I went down was something with home automation and geo-fencing to trigger a notification if I was still at work like an hour after I was supposed to leave, but it's the same use cases.
- kortilla 6y agoThe difference between you setting up notifications based on your location and geofencing your partner is vast.
- watwut 6y agoNo, because I have to take kids out of preschool/school and if I an not in time, they call social services. Before kids, I was coming home randomly and it was not big deal. I did not expected husband to have dinner exactly when I come or wait for me if I am late for random reasons. If I found I was about to be late when he might wait, I would call or he would call. Frankly, you all have either super tolerant spouses willing to time dinner too you exact moments, or controlling spouses using dinner to keep check on you. But the relationships that come up in this discussion do not strike me as usual at all.
