Actually, that is the crux and btw I am sure you guys agree, it is sometimes the case. Married couples struggle at doing certain things together. It maybe a weird competitive construct sneaking in and spoiling the party. Certainly not uncommon. But...could also foretell larger incompatibility issues...sometimes, but not always. Couples work around certain activities. Golf comes to mind which is a frustrating game to begin with.
But...the rub here is this IMO, no significant other or spouse drops a significant other in the middle of nowhere on a ride without some kind of agreement either going in or during the ride. So most of us I am sure believe she is right to be upset big time. Forgive me, but her husband is a...you fill in the blank.
