My husband & I are visiting our son & his fiancé in their city. Traffic is a little hectic, especially around lunch. He & I were trying to find a place that HE wanted to eat and we both had directions pulled up on our phones. We were within a half mile of our destination & our daughter calls me on her 30 minute lunch break to catch up. While I am trying to talk to her, he is loudly asking me what these stores are that we are passing and yelling about the traffic. He realizes that he is in the wrong lane for a turn and cusses loudly. I tell my daughter that I will have to chat with her later and hang up. He proceeds to blame me for him not getting in the right lane for a turn. All we had to do was just go one block up and make a U turn and we were fine, but he acted like that. How do you respond to something like this? I sent a text to our daughter apologizing for not being able to chat (which hurt my feelings) but he has not and probably will not apologize for his outburst.

Driving in busy traffic in an unfamiliar place is extremely stressful on its own, much less when the navigator isn’t helping and is talking on the phone.
– He could’ve pulled over and waited for your conversation to be over.
– You could’ve helped.
This isn’t a situation in which either person needs to be confronted because they grievously sinned, and neither of you is owed an apology.
