WIBU to obey this road sign?

Before people tell me to LTB, things are already in hand. I am getting up the courags to tell DP enough is enough.

We went to stay at a hotel in an area our friend lives in. I drove us the 250 miles there on friday night in the dark as DP was too tired. The next day I drove us into town for breakfast, to the next town to pick DPs friend up and then onto an exhibition for a hobby that I have dabbled in briefly but both the men love. I walked around all day with them, pretended to be interested etc.

I drove us back, via dps friends, back to hotel for a quick change and back out to yet another town for drinks and dinner. I bit the bullet and drove because DP had vastly underestimated taxi costs and both me and the friend are short of cash.

On our way out of the hotel there is a 'no right turn' sign. I turned left down to the roundabout 200 yards away and did a 360 turn back to where we came from.

DP went mental at me. Telling me to ignore the sign as the road was pretty clear. Telling me "I'm so frustrating!" and how he hates "my style" of driving. All in front of his friend which made me feel shite. He also shouts at me in carparks at every space available, no matter how tight or whether I am aiming for a space I want.

WIBU to obey the sign? And expect him to STFU and just be grateful I chauferred him around all weekend?

He's a knob. Nothing less.

Why exactly are you with this charmer? [hhmm]

He wasn't like this when we first got together Bat. I've been like the metaphorical frog in slowly warming water. If he had revealed what he was truely like at the start I would have jumped out of the pot.

YANBU to follow road signs that I would probably have ignored Blush and as you were driving he should STFU. Next time, on second thoughts, don't have a next time at all, it's the first time I've ever advocated anyone leaving the bastard on mumsnet, but here goes "Leave the Bastard". If he thinks so little of you that he will speak to you like that in front of other people then you are better off without him. Good luck.

I would have ignored the sign but he is stil BU to tell you how to drive and speak to you in that manner. If I had a passenger that spoke to me like that I would eject them.

I have the kind of luck that means a police car would appear just as I pulled out!

When DH drives, he calls the shots. When I drive, I call the shots. I park in whatever space I want to and go the route I want, DH likes it or lumps it (or drives himself!)
