can you please make me feel better

[cyphercat]

I started driving lessons and DH agreed to help. He was great until today, he started being negative about everything. And I'm really the type who needs encouragement when I learn something new and I have asked him for this. I parked because I was really getting upset and fed up with constant "ughhh..and silence when I ask him if I did this better or what I should do next". I started to cry and explain the negative air isn't helping my driving confidence (and lots of pressure with little DD sleeping in the carseat I'm being extremely careful", then he got really angry saying he's doing a massive favour doing this and he slams door open gets out and stops the lesson.

I'm really really tearful constantly today and upset now because I really want to learn to drive but not with DH's attitude.

Having driving practice with anyone close to you is a recipe for disaster. (Wth the possible exception of my kid brother who was useful to me because we had both been taught by the same driving instructor and also we have an amiable but quite detached relationship anyway). Mundanes People are nearly as weird about driving cars as they are about sex: everyone thinks that the way they do it is the best though there are quite a lot of potential variations that are perfectly OK - but when the people teaching and learning are close enough to each other for there to be some sort of history/emotional component then it's all going to go horribly wrong in short order. Have you a kindly neighbour or workmate who might be prepared to drive about with you? If not, can you afford an extra lesson or so?
