Sorry for the derail Gentlemen please proceed with the paranioa.

You all live in a place that has other cars? If I see another vehicle on my drive home I start griping about traffic.

I do the old loop around the hood trick if needed because is they are following you they(criminals) will know exactly where you live from then on out!
Even when I'm gone, son(6) knows "The Drills" for fire, smoke, fire alarms, routes out of the house, what doors to use and what to do for the burglar alarm.
Wife knows exactly where the Saiga is and how to operate it! I tell her "Charge it hard and let it slam forward" the noise alone should scare the crap outta anyone!
Me paranoid?
Just situationally aware.

I am the same way, when I walk out my front door its game on. I can spot an odd vehicle right off the bat, like the "undercover" black charger with blacked out windows and wheels that started the stand off with the swat team down the street last week. I was walking the kids down the street to my sons friends house until I seen that car then flags went up all over the place!

OPSEC
If you don't know my sons name, one thing less you can use.

My ex-wife used to bitch about stuff like that. It was annoying. Then, on account of her new job, we moved to a high crime ghetto and her behavior got to the point that it was actually endangering our safety. Some people you just can't reach.

If your wife is bitching about something as minor as taking a few extra minutes to circle the block, there is a problem. Problem likely involves work related stress combined with PMS and has little to do with the fact that you are driving around the block. She just wants an outlet for repressed anger, knows she can get away with it with you, and "paranoid" is a great label to put on people because there's really no way to defend against it to someone who wants someone to blame for the way she feels inside.

Sorry about your situation, man. Hope it gets better.

Oh, Just because you are paranoid, it doesn't mean that there isn't someone out to get you.

So after going out to dinner (pinched one off at the restaurant but didnt forget the smoke wagon on crapper), went to the mall then I hit the ATM because I had to transfer a chunk of cash from checking to savings. After driving the 20 minutes or so back to my neighborhood I noticed a car following me so I made a quick turn around the block and took a scenic route around the neighborhood until I felt better. She immediately started giving me the third degree even after I explained that "we just left an ATM and a car I dont recognize has been following me for at least 10 minutes that i noticed". But all I thought about is once you pull into the drive way you are blocked in and a sitting duck with the whole family in the car and I can remember at least 3 incidents in the last few years of people being ambushed in front of their house, and it didnt work out very well for them. Maybe I watch to much news? [Beer]

Why are you listening to a woman?!!

Just kidding, but in all seriousness, I have given lots of women advice similar to what you did while I was at work. They told me they thought they were being followed, and told me they were trying to get home as quickly as they could. I explained several reasons why this would be bad, not to mention none of them armed, all of them had small children with them.
