[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Backstory: I'm a really bad driver and parker. I've never gotten into a bad car accident but I have fender benders fairly frequently (at least once a year, sometimes more sometimes less). But over the years, it's added up obviously and DH remembers every single one.

Well today I accidentally hit a stop sign while parking the car and he's pissed at me again. He's not giving me the silent treatment but he's icy and distant.

I don't do it on purpose but I have a really bad sense of depth perception. I keep asking if we can trade my car in for something smaller (I drive a minivan and think it would be better if I had something smaller that's easier to park like a Civic) but he refuses to consider the idea because we "need" this big car for trips and things. I kind of feel like that is setting me up to fail again. But still I know it is my fault.

How do you handle it when your partner is justifiably angry at you because you keep making mistakes? [/quote]

Get a big car that parks itself, like the new Ford Expedition.  Just test drove and it did the automatic parking thing.  Pretty cool.

Otherwise, I think you and your husband have something else going on.  There's a weird dynamic with him insisting you drive a care you're not comfortable with (why can't he drive the big car?) and for being icy and distant when you, presumably, apologized for denting/destroying your car.  Are you a SAHM?  Does he feel like you excessively spend "his" money?  Do you often make excuses when you have done something that upsets him (but I didn't mean to!)?  Just trying to figure out what else is going on here.  [/quote]
