I've been with my OH for a year. Known each other for four. He's due to move in with me very soon.
Earlier this year he bought a new car which I helped him choose. I went with him for the test drive, and spoke quite a bit with the sales rep etc. to make sure he would get a good deal.
Initially we were going to buy the car together, but my OH told me that there was no point in me contributing, but he'd be happy to put me on the insurance which I would pay for.
He let me drive it twice but after that said he would rather give me lessons before I get in again. I have a full license but don't drive that much and am a bit rusty, but didn't make any real blunders!
I have bad anxiety about driving and have spent a lot of evenings crying to him about the fact that I'm frustrated that I can't get out and about more because my fears are holding me back. He uses my driveway to park the car on every day, but I just feel a bit upset that he's never said to me "Come on, let's get you out for a drive to get your confidence up". I feel if the roles were reversed I'd do everything I could to help him be a bit happier and help him with something he has a problem with.
He's now said he doesn't want me insured on the car at all "because it was expensive", and suggested I buy my own. He knows that me buying a car would use up all of my savings and he has much, much more money than I do.
I know I'm probably being a bit over sensitive about this but would just like another perspective.
