Look upon this as one of life's great lessons learnt and move on.

As stated previously, get new wheels, £400 each? You're a contractor FFS!
Get impressive bouquet of flowers and follow up with an expensive meal.
If you get a shag out of it, job done and all is forgiven....

I've heard rumours there's one or two female moderators on this very site!

You will have the trade descriptions people after you if you are not careful!!!

You don't expect to have to make your own tea, do you?

The Daleks now do this

Interesting range of views.
Yes of course a car doesn’t matter in the great scheme of things, as my dad said when I totalled his Granada – ‘fortunately, it’s nothing that money can’t fix’. Which was saying something as he hated spending any !
However, I have always taken great care of new things I get and this goes double for nice cars I have been fortunate enough to own. I also expect others to respect that too. Having said that – you are complicit in what happened for the following reasons:
- You let her drive, clearly she isn’t used to this car (presume she has a small car normally) or driving an auto.
– You took her along a countryside route which was always going to be more challenging than a normal road. – You MUST have known how poor her driving skill was after being with her this long.
BUT – most of all, you put her totally on edge after over-reacting to the first problem. From that point she was expecting you to correct every mistake and passed that responsibility to you (same as to a driving instructor).
Trips in that car will be tainted by this experience, until such time as you can laugh about it. Cough up for wheels and flowers and apologise.

If you let her drive the car, and you're that fussed about it getting damaged, then it's your fault.

WHS

Why did you let her drive it???

Bolshie, new alloys are cheaper than a divorce.

As you'll probably find out.

Btw, if you do get divorced be sure to remember the alloy wheels incident, she will and her brief will use it as evidence of your instability and aggression.

So, suggested shopping list, new alloys and a big bunch of flowers for Mrs BB.

Being miffed won’t bring back your wheels. Buy her some flowers and say sorry that you got angry with her. It will make her feel better and you will probably get a BJ out of the deal.

Where's there's a matrimonial lawyer, there's a way.

That reminds me of Intolerable Cruelty

"Let N.O.M.A.N. Put Asunder"

(N.O.M.A.N. standing for National Organization of Matrimonial Attorneys Nationwide, or some such.)

Writing off your car is grounds for dumping a girlfriend, but I wouldn't put it up there in reasons for divorce.

Does wrecking the alloys count as "unreasonable behaviour" in divorce proceedings?


You need to sort your priorities out!
