I'm used to meeting times for social occasions being, at best, a rough guide. I guess it became a habit.
With my girlfriend, I used to think I was the one having to drive half an hour to get to her house (she has no car), if she has to watch tv for an extra ten minutes, what's the big deal? It's not like she's standing on a street corner. She's at home.
But I've come around a bit, and I think if he is doing it over and over again, it's fair enough to get ticked off with him. You're not being a bitch.
Anyway, he's probably like I was and didn't see it as a big deal. Just tell him what's on your mind.
I'm guilty of the same. Sometimes you can't account for traffic and other things that come up in between. I once spent almost 2 hours in traffic on a piece of road that can easily be covered in 30 minutes any other day.
Though, if he said he'll be there at 8 - 8:30 and he's only leaving at 9 that's something that should be addressed.
Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil
