Aibu to leave partner who doesn’t wear seatbelt

[Rottiemum4102]

Maybe so petty.

Do I want to really marry a man who won’t even consider his own life? It drives me mental, even with my car that sounds an alarm he leaves to the last minute.

We’ve had a huge bust up tonight, and I’ve even said maybe my dad would still be here if he wore a fucking seatbelt !

Should I consider marriage and serious commitment with a man that doesn’t even value his own/others lives on the road?

I just couldn't be doing with the childishness. The "I'm so special, me, ordinary rules don't apply".

Not wearing a seatbelt probably isn't the only law he ignores while driving.

I wouldn't usually but...

*you're

Why don’t you put it on first @AlwaysLatte? It only takes a second.

Because I have to get out of the car at the end of the drive and open and close a gate and move sheep out of the way because the buggers like to lie on the drive!

He's arguing that he's allowed to do something that is potentially dangerous, illegal and could result in a fine for the driver, because he thinks he is above the law. On top of this, he picks an issue that has personally affected you to make his stand.
Yes, I would give him the heave ho.
I know people like this and there is no reasoning with them. He has a stubborn and selfish personality.
I'm betting this is not the only issue where he shows his "individuality".
Don't get tied to him, or You will spend your time worrying if he's going to have an extra drink before driving because he "can still drive with up to 3 pints without being affected." or whether he will strap the kids in the car, or bother to take out holiday insurance etc.. and don't forget the great example he will give your kids - that Mum is worries about petty issues and things that will never even happen - whereas he uses his own judgement and it always works out OK.

Insults are so much more effective when the author understands basic grammar

Does he wear a mask?

Fuck sake 🙈

The princess of wales omitted to put one on. Need I say more ?

Do you want your kids to have a thick father?

This sums it up. If you don't wear a seatbelt, you are an arrogant moron. There is literally zero excuse not to wear one.

In that case it is quite understandable.

You just reminded me of a childhood moment I will never forget. Watching Diana's funeral on TV, my father (die hard republican who spent most of that week cleaning out his shed so as to avoid the media frenzy) popped his head in to say 'See kids, always wear a fucking seat belt or that could be you'.

I was shocked, I'd never heard him use the f word before. My mother was not impressed. I always have worn a seatbelt since though!!

This is an issue of complete disregard of the Law .... he obviously feels he is above it.
Massive red flags

I'm a traffic cop. He's welcome to come.out with me for a week of shifts. That should change his mind pretty sharpish. Bloody idiot.

@Ritasueandbobtoo9

Are we in the 1970’s?

I know, right!

I'd just leave him now or you'll be on here again in 5 years worrying that you can't leave him because you've got young children together and he can't be trusted to have them alone every other weekend as he refuses to use the right carseat/smokes in the car/ leaves them unsupervised with a lion or something.
He sounds stupid and it will only be more difficult to leave the more entangled you get.

My partner loves fast cars/motorbikes etc. But he always wears a seatbelt (in the car obviously).

@SnowyJungle

His life, yes....

But others on the road?
Yes ok, if his in the back seat, he could kill the front seat passenger but if his in the front?

My parter doesnt wear one but always drives.

Would you leave him if he smoked? Drunk?
Same thing really

If he is driving, not wearing one means he is less likely to be able to remain in control of the car in an RTI, endangering others. And if he is the front seat passenger, he could still be thrown around the car, affecting others in the car, and again those outside if it affects the driver's capacity.
