Car Accident/So Angry at My DH

[Anonymous]

He just told me I have 10 days to come around or he will buy the car without my agreement. See, this is the problem we always have. He does what he wants in total disregard of my wishes.

The car is for him. It seems to be a very safe car. Why are you bring crazy about this? You agreed on a budget, he picked a car. Let it go.

I think the problem you have is that you don't like safe cars.

Among many, many other problems.

She was only going 10 - 15 mph. I came and picked her up and left DH to deal with police, insurance and towing. He came home later on his own. Now he says the car is totaled and we will need a new one. It did not have collision coverage b/c the idiot said the car was not worth paying for it. So, we are now down to one car - mine - and DH wants a new one. He can go f**k himself. He is always f**king sh*t up. After he came home, he says he needs to go to the doctor b/c his chest hurts. Everything is closed now, so he says he will just go to his doctor tomorrow morning. I told him to get a professional driving school, but he was too f**king cheap. I just want a divorce.

LMAO at the stream of consciousness rant in this post.

OP, you should definitely get a divorce. Don't worry about the car at this point.

We did not agree on a budget. He jest announced he doesn't want to pay more than $15K for a car. That's how he does things, ruling by decree and never listening to my input.

Based on this thread, I can see why. Your input seems to be fairly poorly thought out. At the beginning you didn't want him buying a new car at all, now you're trying to jack up the budget to what you find impressive?

No, the car was not worth insuring. Big difference.

No. You get $2k minus your deductible.

That's only if the wreck is their fault. If it's the other guy's fault you should get the whole value.

Yes, but then my lack of collision insurance would not be an issue.

The VW jetta is a safe and reliable car, at least compared with any mercedes (reliability). It will cost more to maintain than a honda civic, but it is 1) safer, and 2) nicer.

If you actually look at a VW, you will find that they are basically Audi's at a more reasonable price. I drive a GTI, which is mechanically an Audi A3 (or close).

I hope that you are joking. OP 's husband seems that be very reasonable. He just seems to have unfortunately married someone off her rocker. Is there really snyone on this boa d who sees things OP's way?

So... you're ditching him because you don't like the kind of car he drives? Are you afraid it will affect your social status? Why can't he drive whatever car he wants? I don't get it.
