Backseat Driving


Question Posted Tuesday August 17 2004, 8:56 am

I love my boyfriend very much, but I spend 90 percent of my time critiquing his driving skills when I am in the car with him. I don't do this with anyone else. When I drive, I would get horribly mad if he did this, but he is an angel. I do drive occasionally, and he really isn't that bad of a driver. So other than giving up my chauffeur, what else can I do to focus on something besides badgering him like a freak?

You can try to uh, STOP. You can choose not to be the nagging hag of double standards you know. Everyone hates a know-it-all CONSTANTLY telling them what to do, even if they are doing it wrong and they know it. He is just being very ver y tolerant. You canexpect the dam to break soon and your boyfriend to run off to someone who doesnt care about his driving.

Apoligize before you get in the car, say your sorry and you'll try your best not to pester. A LOT of people do this. I've heard of someone trying to work the petals FOR the driver. So reassure youself that you'll JUST appriciate the ride.. when you feel the urge.. just put on the radio.. hope I helped! -Ce

Try having some other kind of conversation. Listen to music. <i> Anything</i> to keep your attention from his driving skills. It's good that you're asking advice, and don't want to hound him about something like this. Restraion yourself and try to talk about something else.

hey it happens alot...what you need to do is probably keep you eyes on the road and like every few times just take a look and then look him in the eyes or sumthing so he doesn;'t suspect to much tension around...cuz guys can get nervous if you watch them like a hawlk so just take it easy look at the road and kinda build a wall between you two so you don't start to stair at him to much aiight
hope I helped

lots of love cutie_babee

Instead of pointing out all of the negative things he`s doing, point out the positive things he`s doing. Or you can focus on the other people that`s driving & tell him how bad they are.. so your not just telling him that he`s a bad driver.
