Car Accident/So Angry at My DH

Anonymous
How are they similar? And why, other than in the opinion of the crazy DW, is the DH in question stupid and "thinking too much of himself?"


I don't believe it's a troll, as I was once married to someone who was so far out of it she would behave in this way. Hard to believe I know, but such people exist and they are abusive of their spouses and children.

Any. Chance you can immigrate back to somewhere else and leave your poor DH and daughter here?? You are what's wrong with this country.

I agree. This was a bizarre comment. Americans as a whole cling to a Puritanical work ethic like it's a life raft. We work at home, at night, on the weekends, in between pitches of a little league game, FFS. There are a lot of things wrong with our country, but a generally poor work ethic isn't one of them.

Those who do not work done not eat! Seems fair to say me.

OP,

Please educate yourself on cars. Your husband, who may or may not be wrong on many things, is not wrong on his car choice. Japanese cars are EXCELLENT quality for money. VW is good too. Generally reliable and inexpensive to repair. Mercedes is a luxury in the sense that they have expensive maintenance. American brands are usually not as good, but at least they are inexpensive. Your teen needs to learn on a smaller and more manageable car that's safe, not in a truck, minivan or SUV at first.

As for the rest, while I understand you may have long-running complaints about your husband, I advise you to control yourself better. Being this angry is not good for you or anybody else and will not resolve any problems.

Ugh, DH today told me that he has researched any number of cars and is leaning towards a VW Jetta. I told him this is a bad car. I don't want him to buy another hooptie. He wants to spend around $15K. I just sent him an add for a 2014 GLK and he says no. I don't want my DD driving around in some cheap piece of junk. He just doesn't get it. Everything would be so much better if he would just listen to me and do as I ask, for once.

Seriously. Two of your loved ones are in a car accident and you're acting like a banshee, op? Something is seriously wrong with you.

why do you keep posting, op? You got zero sympathy here and rightfully so. The bolded statement is your problem. do you do what he tells you to do?

If money is your concern, wait until you discover how much divorce costs.

I am with OP on this. Her DH is being cheap. He is looking to sacrifice the safety of his daughter to save a few bucks. Keep pressing for the GLK OP. Make him bend to your will.

OP you are a moron or a snob. We've had a VW Jetta for 11 years. It has never given us a day of trouble. We've done the regular maintenance and that is it. It is a solid car for the money. It is also heavier than the cars in that category so it is a bit safer. You are pushing for the GLK because you think it looks better to drive an expensive car. SUVs aren't the best cars for beginning drivers. You want the GLK because of what it says about you sitting in the driveway. Do your poor husband a favor and divorce him. You are horrible.

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.

Your DD is safer in the Jetta:

DH showed me this list and told me he is choosing a car from it, hence the Jetta. I did not see any car on the list I like and I told him so.
