My husband was working on his truck until
almost 11, trying to fix an issue, and he didn’t even eat dinner. He told me he had to get it fixed tonight because he has to drive tomorrow.
The issue is that I told him he could drive my car (I have nowhere to go tomorrow), and just finish the work over the weekend on his truck. He told me it is not “safe” for him to drive my car that far because my ABS is going out.
He has no problem with me driving this car with an infant and a child every single day. I drive thirty minutes each way to take my kid to school, go home, pick him up, and bring him home. On top of activities. On top of going to the store. Day after day.
But it’s not good enough to drive the hour he has to go to work for one day? He’s more concerned about wrecking himself than the potential of me wrecking with our children?
Can someone help me understand this mindset? Is my car too dangerous to drive or not? Why is he ok with me driving but not himself?

It was probably an excuse to finish with the truck, but to be fair, ABS is only likely to activate at highway speeds. Are you both driving highway speeds?
Unless he’s going to be driving in snow, he will be fine.
Why does he think the ABS is going out?
Well I’m thinking what you’re thinking, but I test drove a car with a bad ABS and it did feel very unsafe and was costly to fix so I didn’t buy the vehicle. Its weird to be me that he doesn’t see this as a priority to fix. I mean clearly he sounds very selfish. This whole thing sounds messed up. Try to get him to chip in to get your car asap since he feels is too dangerous to drive.
