That's a really interesting thought. I hadn't really thought of it like that before.
My DH worries about my commuting. Generally, he's not too afraid of my other riding, because we generally do it together. When I'm out riding solo, however, I let him know my route - we have names for all our standard routes, so if I say "I'm doing the P", he knows exactly where I"ll be. I also carry a cell phone and (on my commutes) call in to check in to let him know I've arrived safe and sound. I do that even tho' about half of my commutes are with a riding partner.
It's a small concession I make to ease his mind and to keep me from losing mine!
