I’ve bumped my husbands new car 🚗

I’m in a panic. My husband bought an expensive new car last week. He was having an afternoon nap so I just borrowed it to collect my son from sports training. I’ve reversed into a low wall in a car park (couldn’t see it in my rear view mirror) and have dented the rear bumper.
He’s working from home tomorrow- is there any chance I can get up early and take it to a garage to get fixed and return it without him knowing?
what should I do, I can’t tell him he’ll be furious and I took it without asking

If he is working from home surely he will look out the window at some point at his brand spanking new car? If it's missing he will report it stolen 🤣

DS doesn’t know it happened before he got in the car, I just can’t come clean

Why? Unless you're fearing your safety with his reaction there should be no reason you can't be honest in a relationship.

You are unlikely to get a same day repair. Come clean or he’ll not trust you in the future,

You’ll have to tell him because when he discovers the bump and creates a fuss about it, I’m sure your DS will mention he was collected in it.

All you can do is tell him what happened, then close your ears.
