Currently in the car, going on holiday down south (uk). Hit some traffic on the way so we've been in the car about 5 hours now, almost there. Dp driving, he won't let me drive because he gets travel sick. We have 2 DC but they've travelled down with PIL.
Over the course of the journey he has been getting progressively more angry at other drivers, I can understand. Some of them have been utter twats and the traffic has been frustrating. Other times his reaction is completely over the top over petty things. He gets proper shouty and although he's not shouting at me it creates an atmosphere and I get all anxious and tense. If I (calmly)tell him to calm down he gets even more annoyed and shouty because apparently I won't 'let him have his say' and that basically he can say/act how he wants because he's been driving for 5 hours. Inevitably we then have an argument.
Maybe I'm selfish but I don't feel I should have to put up with him shouting and balling at people on and off throughout the whole journey. I can tolerate it to an extent but (I feel) he gets carried away and there's no way for me to get away from it and let him get on with it.
So, fully prepared to be told iabu. Am I? Surely I should be allowed to feel comfortable throughout the journey too, and since he can't/won't let me drive then he should tone down the road rage a little.
