Question to all those married men out there!?

Question

Did you have trouble with your wife in the beginning about your driving?

1. Trust issues of driving long distances by yourself? ".....you'll wreck!"
2. How you drive? Questioning your driving ability

And how did you work it out?

Answer 1

I'm a professional driver for 10 years now, with no accidents or tickets. Arrogantly I think I'm the best out there too! However, my wife, who has had numerous accidents, and drives like a loon will always tell me how I could do better! We've been together 18+ years and it still happens. Just smile and roll your eyes. I think that this is just a genetic abnormality in some women. Actually, probably the same in men!

Answer 2

I use to drive the big rigs' hauling hazardous materials, (acids, jet fuel, gasoline) my wife would always get very upset when i'd have to leave on a run in a major snow storm. I told her I know what i'm doing when i'm out on the road especially in weather like this.
I would tell her, if it get's too bad i'll just park somewhere and wait till the roads are cleared up. Sometimes after i'd leave i'd call 4 or 5 hours later and tell her i was parked in a rest area waiting for the storm to get over. When in all actuality i was still driving down the road.
Women worry about such trivial things, but i think it's only because they care about us.
I would also tell her i'm a good driver, and not just anybody can do the type of work i was doing at the time, as i would be driving in the mountain states in some of the worst weather during the winter months. I liked doing that white knuckle driving on treacherous roads, as i felt my skill level was such that, i'd rather be doing it myself than letting someone with less experience trying to do it.

Answer 3

this may be much deeper than your driving abilities. when you drive long distances where are you driving too?? if he is just concerned about your driving get a cell phone and call him when you get there set up the latest possible time that you'll be there. if you don't call then he can come looking for you. but be sure and call. if a cell phone isn't the answer like i said it may be a much deeper problem. it could be insecure about his self. another words he may be afraid of you being away for a while for the fear of you cheating on him. how long are you gone? one thing that might help is check up on him at least several times a day this might ease up things a little. but if all else fells he made to get pychological help. a successfull marriage in my opinion is one where both spouses don't have to change their lives and hobbies too much from before they were married. another quiestion is why can't your husband go with you? how long have you been married. if for just a short time this could change. just some thoughts to think about.

Answer 4

No never had driving issues.
I raced cars for years so she knew I could drive.

1. Nope, she always trusted me
2. Nope, she knew I could drive.

Since this is an issue with you. My suggestion is talk to her and find out why she feels the way she does. There has to be a reason?

Are you a safe and aware driver?
Do you pay attention to what you and other drivers are doing?
Do you take naps while driving?
Any health problems? Long distance driving can effect people with some health related problems.
