I am sad to say that my DH acted almost as badly as that person at the airport when my mother was terminal and I had to get to Puerto Rico in a hurry. I don't know why people act that way, but I can tell you from personal experience that it changes your relationship forever. This happened in 2007 and I still cannot forgive him for making a real bad situation so much worse. I try to tell myself that he was just frustrated and trying to help me but I wonder if he is so insightful could he not see how horrible I felt because of his actions? I think that some people feel entitled because of their status in society or profession to act this way. I wish I could have laughed then and still wish I could laugh now. I actually cringed as I read this story.
