What do you think of adults who never learned to drive?

Not because of any trauma or anything, just didn't get around to it.

Have to rely on everyone else to get rides or Uber everywhere.

I don’t think anything. Their life. Their choice.

Never learned to drive?

You mean, automatic or stick shift?

He does have a well-paying job that takes care of most of the family income but is also feckless in the kitchen, with cleaning, and with parenting and his willingness to abdicate all of this stuff onto his wife and not bother to learn to drive so she doesn't have to act as his chauffeur in addition to everything is is kind of pathetic. I can't understand being content with that kind of arrangement but they do their way. Yes, learning to drive is scary. Too bad.

Not a chance in h3ll would I put up with that situation. Dude would be walking to his appointments or not going.

DP.

A man who can’t drive is just pathetic as h3ll. Not a man at all.

But I’d understand if a female never learned to drive.

How about a man who hasn’t learned to cook?

I’m a woman and don’t really get how women get a pass here, at least if they are under 60.

They really don’t but it’s slightly less pathetic when it’s a woman.

Haha, that’s exactly me and my husband. I, at least, have a driver’s license. He does not.

The most effective treatment is to not drive, ya dummy. Sounds like he’s doing fine. Sorry about your legs, btw.

Yeah he may be doing fine. Ask his wife who has to cart his useless a$$ around. Doubt she’s fine.

Yes I drive everywhere. Sorry not one bit sorry.

My DH says the most effective treatment for his anxiety about cooking is to not cook.

The next time my spouse wants me to help with housework I will say it gives me anxiety and that there may be irreparable harm to others if I do the housework. That'll do it.

I assume she would either divorce him or insist that he learn to drive if she’s not fine with the situation.

And it sounds like you’re the one with the useless a$$, unless you think sitting on it all day is a skill.
