[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry OP, I agree with your husband. Why on earth are you constantly getting into accidents? That’s really not normal at all. You should go be up your license and walk or take public transit before you seriously injure someone. [/quote]

Agree. Grow up. Take driving lessons or something. You’re a danger, and your husband isn’t to blame for wanting nice things like cars to not look like crap and be dinged up. The answer here isn’t “he needs to accept me for who I am even though I’m a f*ckup”, it’s “I need to do better because how I am now isn’t acceptable.”[/quote]

I try!

I have taken driving lessons before. I know what they entail and don’t see how they will help me.

Fwiw my van has cameras and sensors and although they help, I still have this issue. Part of the problem is, I’ll go a really long time without hitting anything then get careless like this morning when I was in a rush and distracted and hit a stop sign. Now all my good effort counts for nothing with him.

I feel like I have to just admit defeat and drive nothing but old beaters from now on.

My DH is crazy. He’s at work sending me links to expensive, albeit small new cars. He says his reason is that he wants to want to drive it too.

I need to call it a day, trade the van in, and buy a small used car for under 15-20k. Then he won’t care about dings or scratches.[/quote]

I have poor spatial perception so I sympathize.  We don’t have a mini-van for that reason.  When the kids were younger we rented one on long trips (and DH drove) since that was the key time we needed one.  I drive inexpensive small cars (think 25K) and did upgrade to nitrogen tires and was excited not to have to worry about losing hub caps. Before we went 3rd row of seats for DH’s car, I researched cars that could fit 3 kids in the back and would test drive to figure out which ones I would be comfortable driving. You do need to adjust/adapt to your reality.  I don’t think it’s safe to drive a big car that you aren’t comfortable driving if additional driving lessons and sensors aren’t enough to compensate for your issues.[/quote]
