DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have a disagreement that has been ongoing for a few years now. Sometimes I need to make a quick run into a store while he's driving. When I ask him to drop me at the front door, he insists on parking first and making me walk the distance -- whatever that may be. I say it is thoughtful and courteous to be dropped off as close as possible, and he should park afterward and I'll walk to wherever he is when I come out.
Please give me your take on this. -- 40 FEET
DEAR F.F.: Your husband may actually have a good reason for doing it. If you are with him when he parks the car, you will automatically know where to find him when you come out of the store.
