Forcing her to get behind the wheel and take control is not the answer. It will likely just terrify her more.
There are perfectly sane people walking on this planet that don't drive. They survive their life just fine. Don't force your girlfriend into something she just doesn't wish to do.
If it bothers you that much, I suggest getting a new girlfriend. One that is capable to living up to your expectations.

We don't really live in an area where not driving is only a minor inconvenience. Obviously i have my own motivations but not driving is going to and does make her own life harder.

We also live forty minutes away and her not driving, with us both working full time, makes it hard for us to see eachother more than two times a week.

I dont think my question was how do i force or manipulate her into kearning how to drive. I am just asking people if they have encountered this and if so how did they deal.

Has she passed her theory? And hazard perception test?

In the usa, you get a learner's permit by taking a "written" multiple choice test. And then you need a certain number of hours of practice driving...and then you take your road test and you get your license....i think. I'm pretty sure all she needs to do at this point is pass her road test.

i hate you humans.

Everyone has good and bad. Your situation is such that right now, you're only seeing the bad in people.

One thing to consider: of everyone seems to have a problem but you, it is worth considering, at least, that you may be the problem, somehow or another, and that maybe if you changed something about yourself or your perspective, you'd be able to get along a lot better with those dang nab jerkies.


On perspective: its worth considering that you cant set the bar for people super high...averageness is a thing and most of us are, well, average, not especially good or bad but somewhere in between. And i dont mean good and bad in bad in a specifically moral sense, but in every sense.

I do! Haven't been playing much lately, though. I'm mostly into rpgs and survival horror / horror in general. Also love Animal Crossing and Pokemon.

I like Silent Hill and i like rpgs too but i can be pretty picky cus a lot rpg type games just dont have great gameplay imo. I like red and blue pokemon havent played another one since those two o.o

Rap group Flame should pay Katy Perry for anyone ever hearing that garbage at all much less have a chance at someone liking it.

I don't know anything about the case you mentioned, but the history of the music industry really is full of sad cases of plagiarism, both legal and illegal, and people getting away with it.

I don't really have anything intelligent to say other than that.

I'm 6stone 7lbs (ish).

How much does each of the stones weigh? Are we talking igneous rock, sedimentary, or metamorphic?

I printed stuff out and the black ink wasnโ€™t very clear.

I don't know. I have an old hp deskjet. It's terrible. I don't trust it. the laserjet at work NEVER breaks and the ink cartridges seem to last forever. I feel like it's a better investment.

the deskjet costs 25 bucks and each cartridge is 40 bucks, black, plus color. and if you're constantly printing the cartidges might last you a month a piece. It's a trap!

I put enough quarters into a Space Invaders machine in 1978 to buy a pound of Colombian Gold, when there was such a thing. The game came out when I was 18, I guess I was the first generation that played video games. My dad never saw a TV until he was 20 years old. Times move fast.

At the dave and busters by me you can play space invaders on a huge screen. Me and my gf tried and she beat me twice in a row. Had a higher score than me, i should say.

ah it's probly not a good idea generally.

I think that if you can just as easily sub the word out with a different expression, why use the slur? If someone is being a jerk, just call them a jerk, don't call them whatever bad word you're afraid will get you in trouble.
