So for a bit of background I used to be a very nervous driver, literally felt sick with fear when I took a refresher course 7 years ago to get me back behind the wheel. It took ages but I gradually got past it, got a little nissan micra and have loved driving her since. So today was my first ever time driving a new car as my old one was getting on a bit. My husband was brilliant in sorting it all out and I can't thank him enough, however I knew it would take me some time to get used to the new car and I thought he did too. So basically my old car wasn't as responsive as the new one by miles, so taking it out for the first time today was a jittery experience for me and felt totally alien. I know I will get used to it over time, but because I was so anxious as I was driving round and I didn't instantly rave about how easy it was to drive - because it didn't feel easy but very weird to me - my husband has got the hump with me. He says he doesn't want to discuss it but I know he is pissed off because I was nervous driving it and noticing the differences between it and my old car. I'm sure I will grow to love it once I've been out in it a bit more but surely he should understand that I need a bit of practise with it before I'm confident? He seems really disappointed in me :-( it isn't helping, put it that way. AIBU?
