I can understand your feelings of frustration about this behaviour, which is actually quite controlling. What your partner is saying (covertly) is that your time is not as important as theirs. Perhaps you could try pointing this out and then discussing how it makes you both feel?

I would recommend brainstorming how you can respond to your own needs, regardless of where this person is.

One person gets ready for the day or evening within half to 1 hour. The other needs more time. 2 hours.
The 2 hour person lies around, telephones with friends while the quicker person is ready to go and make experiences. The quicker person feels totally annoyed at the slow persons tempo and disregard for her needs.
Discussion happened and the slow person says that she is the way she is and others just have to adapt.
Suggestions??
