Question:I feel kind of crazy on asking you this cause I know you don’t get too may guys on this website. Anyway here it goes.
My girl and I have been dating for 2yrs. We bought a car a couple of months ago. We would’ve been finished paying it off this December. We worked so hard and saved up sooo much cash getting the car. She let her best friend total our ride. Her friend hasn’t given up no cash and she didn’t even say sorry. I just leased another car with my girl and I let her know that her friend isn’t allowed in this car. I think she let her friend in the car still. What should I do???

Answer:First and foremost Mikey, I think you are misjudging how many males actually visit the site…51% to be exact. Regardless, I’m digressing from your question, which involves some trust and control issues that you need to address.
I can tell that you feel slighted because it was one of her friends who totaled the car and is being stingy with paying you back. Yet, you must remember that you both worked hard for the car, so you cannot expect her to not want to let her friends ride along. Don’t get me wrong, I would be extremely upset with the situation, but I think that it is an unfair expectation to ban your girlfriend’s best friend from the car, even if she hasn’t paid you back yet or apologized.
You share the car with your girlfriend, thus you must allow her to let anyone ride (so long as it doesn’t impair her driving ability). Yet, if you still hold a grudge and don’t want the friend in the car, I suggest you sit down with your girl and tell her in a polite and calm manner how you feel. Don’t let the anger go to your head and start a fight with your girlfriend.
My advice to you Mikey is to take the friend to civil court if she still refuses to pay for the damages let alone apologize. Yet, I don’t want you to be so steadfast in harboring a grudge with your girlfriend’s best friend, they’re called accidents for a reason and that’s why we pay insurance. It will only cause more drama between you and your girl, so let it go and move on with your life…the troubles will melt away when the wind tussles through your hair in your new car.
