[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do wonder about the couples where one person doesn't drive, not due to disability or other obvious reason. Do they just rely on their partners to do all of the things that involve driving? What is they have kids? It seems in those cases like the couple has agreed that one of them is allowed to be a juvenile, in essence.[/quote] I have a medical issue that makes it so I can’t drive sometimes, basically when I am due for a treatment soon and my last treatment has mostly worn off. I live in DC and can take the Metro locally during times when I can’t drive. My husband usually drives when we are together. He rarely has driven me somewhere that he wasn’t already going, but he has here and there (e.g., to medical appointments). I don’t have kids, which removes some potential issues. And I do I worry about how this will affect me as I age, but for now I take things as they come. But I don’t view it as infantilizing. I view it as my husband giving me the help that I need. I think I would feel the same way of my lack of driving was because of anxiety rather than because of the medical issue I have. [/quote]
