now if this had been a conversation between my DH and I, he would have believed that I really wanted to walk home and would NOT have expected to pick me up in a car... the fact that you took your shoes off and got blisters is unfortunate, but it's not really his fault; you told him to go on..
Except, after he rode for an hour, and got home, and I STILL wasn't home, wouldn't you think he'd call to check? Check his phone to see if I called? And I happily walked home, not expecting a ride (or to get blisters) and NOT EXPECTING HIM TO BE THERE, thinking he was still on his training ride, or SURELY he would have called to check on the status and well-being of his only beloved in such an instance? He knew my knees were hurting, too.

After all, anything could happen. He calls me to check on much more mundane things.
