I even sent an w-mail to his mother telling her that she needs to knock some common sense into her son's head and hire a professional instructor. Do you know what she told me back? I should have some compassion for him. What a b*tch!

People commenting about insurance and collision do not understand how it works...if my car is worth 2k, and I am in an accident that does any real damage, the car is totaled, and I get 2K...

This. Unfortunately I know several people that dropped collision on an old car and ended up getting the car totaled not to soon after. The bottom line is that you and DH should be talking about and agreeing on the risks you should take. Maybe the extra $200 a month for collision after 2 years would outweigh the $3000 you would get if a very old car is totaled, BUT if you aren't putting that savings away or have a plan on how you would fix/replace the car if an accident happens maybe it is better for you to keep collision until you sell the car.

If this is a recurring theme of a penny wise a pound foolish, I can understand why you are upset. However,, the bigger issue is why he makes the decisions and there isn't a compromise/discussion if you do t think it is a good idea.

Im with you too OP.
My DH is so careless with cars yet he just bought a 40 000 car we really couldn't afford.
Our emergency fund went to pay for the car. Just two months ago, he damaged my car. It's frustrating. Others don't understand.

Well OP, the good news is he's likely going to be meeting with a divorce lawyer soon. What with you having to be escorted out of his office by security just last week. Or maybe you are just a dumb troll. Either way, get a life.

The car was a piece of Crapo, just buy another crap car or buy a decent one and pay insurance which would be more expensive.

Get your mind wrapped around the fact that he's buying another car. Maybe you guys can discuss how new it will be, but you're setting yourself up to be mad if you somehow think he's not gonna buy another car.
You say you grew up poor but are you now? Pull yourself together. Your daughter feels bad/guilty enough, she doesn't need you and her Dad fighting over this!

Hmmm....

Once I knew my DH and DD were okay, I'd be upset to learn we didn't have collision insurance in any event, particularly with a new driver in the family

Parents teaching kids to drive is a bad idea. Here even OP's reaction is a case in point.

Take your husband to Med Express. Model good behavior for your daughter. I don't care how poor you were growing up, a car can be replaced. Maybe not easily or without some sacrifice but it's a car. It was an accident. Even great, experienced drivers get into accidents. Bad things happen . Be grateful they both aren't paralyzed or worse.

Wow, it sounds like you have anger management problems. Your daughter and husband were in an accident and instead of being worried about them you want to kill your husband??

He will need a new car, when you calm down figure out a budget and pick out a car together.

She was only going 10 - 15 mph. I came and picked her up and left DH to deal with police, insurance and towing. He came home later on his own. Now he says the car is totaled and we will need a new one. It did not have collision coverage b/c the idiot said the car was not worth paying for it. So, we are now down to one car - mine - and DH wants a new one. He can go f**k himself. He is always f**king sh*t up. After he came home, he says he needs to go to the doctor b/c his chest hurts. Everything is closed now, so he says he will just go to his doctor tomorrow morning. I told him to get a professional driving school, but he was too f**king cheap. I just want a divorce.


OP, you sound like a truly unpleasant person. I want to weep for you poor husband who is trying to be a good father, gets into an accident, is hurting and has to go home to face his shrill cruel wife who not care less about his health, her daughter or anything but her money.


OMG, this. OP, you really suck. Go get some perspective. It's free, you know.
