I need some clarification about this. Is she making you late all the time, or are you just annoyed that she takes so long to get ready?
If it is an issue of lateness, tell her the time is earlier than it is, like if you have to be somewhere at 7:00, tell her you have to be there at 6:30 or 6:00. Also, tell her what time you want to leave so that she knows when to start getting ready. Give her plenty of lead time so that she can have all the time she needs to get ready.
If it is an issue of her taking a long time to get ready, I would not say anything, as long as she is ready to leave on time. Who cares how long it takes her to get ready? As long as she's ready to leave on time, you should not make an issue of it. You should just find other things to do while she gets herself ready.
She was always this way?
Can't complain about what you bought.
You have three choices:
1. Keep complaining and fighting with your wife and creating bad feelings about something you knew you were getting into.
2. Just live with it and keep your mouth shut. I am sure you have annoying habits, too. I know I do.
3. Leave.
OMG. My brother is dating a woman that takes forever to get ready. Like, four hours in the bathroom ready!They've missed trips and dinner parties bcs of it. She has some social anxiety issues though. Does your wife have anxiety issues? Or is her get-ready routine really so extensive?
My wife takes forever to prepare anything. If we plan to go out, it would take her 1.5 hour just to get herself ready, and it's driving me crazy.
We have 2 kids now, she is a stay at home mom, we also got her a baby sitter full time.
We have fights over this, every time I said would you hurry up?!, she would get really mad at me. Our relationship is good other than this, I am trying to be better and more patience but it's getting hard for me.
I am trying to help her out as much as I can, but I am also very busy working to bring home the bacon as I am the breadwinner.
I know, it's impossible to change someone, I am looking for ways I can change myself.
Whenever she's moving slow, don't give her a lot of attention/affection. When she gets something done quickly, give her a lot of attention/affection.

Just get annoyed that she takes long time to get ready, and very close minded, doesn't want to hear my opinion.

Didn't read the thread.
Is she always late or just slow?
Either way, I would leave without her (if you have two vehicles).
My husband is slow/late for everything. Once I left without him a few times, he finally wised up. Haven't had the problem since.

Why do you need to have an opinion of it? Basically, how does her taking a long time impact you directly? Its her time she's wasting, if you're not late for wherever you're going.

Stan,
That advice is terrible.
Sincerely,
Frayzer.
But really... It really is bad.
1. Never complain or argue. You may discuss, but the latter is just weak.
2. Always speak up when someone is doing something you don't like. Never let people walk over you.
3. Why would he leave over an issue as small as this? Doesn't make sense.
