My beloved wife
The time has come for you to know very clearly that all men never like to ask for directions because a man is fully confident that he will find his way quickly. And all he wants is some time. It's the kind of overconfidence or masculine vanity that generally distinguishes men from women, according to a study from Duke University and San Diego.
Perhaps this is due to evolutionary reasons, as the man acquired the skill of recognizing directions and roads because he was the most wandering and outgoing person, in addition to his leadership role in taking his family to the shelter.
Experiments have actually proven that men's ability to read maps or determine orientation in an abstract way depends on the idea of parallelism between roads and angles, higher than women's.
This is according to the book Why Men Won't Ask for Directions: The Seductions of Sociobiology

And that, unlike women, depends on knowing the roads on specific tangible signs, not geographic lines, such as "deviating to the right after the shoe store next to the dentist we go to."
Experiments have also shown that the anxiety that accompanies the feeling that you have lost your way is much higher in women, and the appearance of anxiety is delayed in men compared to women, and this can be understood evolutionarily as well.
In short, my wife, it is the psychological composition of men, and it is not obstinacy from me.
Your loving husband
