Man Snaps When Partner Asks Why He Won’t Learn How To Drive, She’s Sick Of Doing It All Alone
Ever heard of the term “amaxophobia”? Well, it means fear of driving, and it really gives anxiety to some people who are asked to drive. I am so glad I don’t have it, because I honestly can’t imagine my life without roaming around in my beloved vehicle.
The original poster’s partner, however, has never explained why he simply refused to learn how to drive and would snap whenever she asked him the reason. This did not stop him from demanding that she chauffeur the kids to his mom’s house; of course, this upset her!

Some people just don’t like driving but absolutely refusing to even learn how to, without giving any reason, sounds unfair

Even when they had kids, the poster went to the hospital in a taxi and her parents picked her up, while they asked friends for lifts during the lockdown

Now, the poster has been doing all the driving while dropping their kids at her parents’ house and her partner feels that it’s unfair for his mom and demanded she drive them there as well

This is only going to keep getting worse as the kids get older and start activities and social stuff. You will end up being a full time taxi for the whole family. Just stop. Do the necessary driving for you, the kids and your family. Everything else is on him. He wants to visit his parents. Figure it out my friend. He wants to go hang out with friends. Yeah, ok, cool. See you when you get home, bye. If he asks you to drive him somewhere, just say, No, that doesn't work for me. Full stop.

I'd start charging him for my time and gas and upkeep for the car etc.

He doesn't have to learn how to drive, but you don't have to be his chauffeur. He's a grown man, he can get himself to mum's house. As for the general situation, he's clearly not going to learn how to drive. If you can live with that (but you don't have to drive him places, just have a partner who can't share driving responsibilities) then stay, if not, its reasonable to break up because a partner isnt sharing equally in responsibilities.

Dude should just use his own money to hire his own chauffeur by now

I didn't learn to drive until my early 40's, and then even after that rarely drove myself around as my husband preferred to drive. But I forced myself to learn even though it was uncomfortable for me, and was very grateful I did when my husband became gravely ill and died recently. I would not have been able to easily visit him almost daily while he was in palliative care for several months in a hospital that was 20 miles away, and would be in deep trouble getting myself around now if I hadn't. Public transportation in Oklahoma is a joke.
