Ok, going to gripe here about a minor thing. CMM's driving drives me crazy! I honestly have never experienced someone whose driving made me so nuts (except maybe my H when he was in crisis and became an aggressive driver for a minute).
It's not that he speeds particularly, it's that his driving is aggressive - and it makes me carsick. (Note: I'm very prone to carsickness but usually am ok in the front passenger seat unless it's a windy mountain road - then I have to drive. )
It's like he doesn't see down the road, so everything is accelerating and braking. Example yesterday - on a busy 4 lane road, light ahead turns yellow but he is still accelerating. Why? We're a block away from the light, this is when you should ease your foot off the accelerator. Instead he's still accelerating and then of course has to brake harder. All that accelerating and decelerating makes me carsick.
Another example - we are on the freeway in the fast lane and the brake lights go on on the car in front of us. Instead of slowing down he's accelerating to pass the car on our right. There's so many things that can go wrong with that scenario.
The constant speeding up and slowing down makes me carsick and the aggressive driving leaves me shouting "watch out" more than he or I would like. I've honestly never felt this way with anyone else's driving. (And he always drove this way so I can't blame it on chemo brain). I'm sure too once I'm carsick I'm more irritable about his driving.
He says my driving bugs him too but that's because I'm too relaxed - I let people in front of me, don't change lanes all the time like he does, I'm not rushing to get anywhere or critiquing other drivers.
I drive more often than not when we're together but yesterday he drove and ended up getting mad at me for back seat driving. Honestly though I've never been this way with anyone else's driving.
