[quote=Anonymous]I'm the more aggressive/fast driver in our family and it makes DH uncomfortable. I grew up on in the north east amongst much more aggressive drivers, he's a northwest, hippie dippie slow poke driver. He also hates driving generally so I'm almost always the one to drive us everywhere. What [i]didn't[/i] work well to get me to drive slower and more cautiously was him getting grumpy at me in the moment while I was driving. What did work to get me to not drive like an asshat was him talking to me when we weren't in the car and letting me know that my driving makes him uncomfortable. Since I wasn't driving at that moment, I didn't feel as defensive about it. Then, when we're in the car and I start driving like a jackass again, he just gently reminds me I'm making him uncomfortable. I'll never drive as slow as he'd like me to but I try not to terrify the guy now [/quote]
