Anyone else deal with this? Eventually I just walk out to car for a while. Then come back in, “ok, ready”? Then another 10 minutes. Probably 45-60 minutes from the time she first said she was ok to go.
Now that you know, plan accordingly: When she says, let's get going, you know you can still have another drink or two.

Don't feel bad, my wife does it too and it has taken her over an hour on occasions. It can be very annoying, especially if you have your coat on and the car keys in your hand. She does not do it all of the time and I don't make too big of a deal because in the GST, it simply means she isn't ready to leave and your friends aren't ready to see her go.

What has this post have to do with running? This thread should be deleted too. Letsrun isn't Ann Landers
Going to social gatherings that totally suck is part of being married. There is no escape. She will make you go to these social gatherings whenever she damn well feels like it and you will do it her way. The alternative is an indefinite period of passive-aggressive, childlike behavior that ends... you guessed it... whenever she damn well feels like it!
The solution is to consume some edibles and keep a vape pen handy. Now all of these boring people will seem interesting. Grab some bros and go play 2 on 2 basketball outside or jump in the pool with your clothes on. Then lead your wife into the woodshed, seduce her, and "talk about your feelings" with her for 5 minutes.

I will tell you what I find just as annoying. I will be driving with a girlfriend to visit another couple and on the way she is talking a little trash about them. As soon as we are greeted at the front door she starts spewing compliments at them. Oh you look so great…just a bunch of compliments and they return the compliments and I am thinking like what the hell?
Wow maybe letsrun really is full of rich people chiseled like greek gods. Not sure how you guys get girls without some basic understanding of how they work...
Compliments are literally the handshakes of the girl world. They're just formalities so you don't seem like a b*tch or too dumb to act right
As far as party behavior, just tell her you're leaving an hour before you want to leave. Or don't go. Or bring lots of beer. Or date an introvert.
My better half loves to bolt from parties - for the most part.
BUT... (and it's a big butttt,) we have two great friends, both women. If we go to a party to see them, or even if we are just hanging out, my better half and either of the "two great friends" will literally talk until the end of time, oblivious to me, kids, and all comers. I am a relatively patient person, and I know it's coming--so I just settle in. And, these are people she really vibes with. How often do any of us get to really hang with our true fave friends? I admit I can get bored, but I still see these moments as a way I'm able to support my sweetheart.
