To think DH thinks I'm incompetent

[Iusedtobecarmen]

I've posted before about my driving anxiety. Long story. Late learner
Limited journeys. Avoidance.
However, I am a billion times better than I was say 12 months ago.

In all fairness, theres not many places in the last year I've actually needed to go

Dh has a big family car so he does family trips. Very experienced driver and not fazed by anything.
Anyhow!! I feel that he treats my driving as if I'm some little old lady making trips to the supermarket or such like
Even more limited than I'm capable of.
He will occasionally rely on me to take DC to various local ish extra curricular activities.
So I think he thinks its useful I can drive if necessary.
But maybe doesnt trust me to do anything more challenging. My own fault I suppose as I've stressed so much about driving

The other day I I offered to drop one of the DC somewhere and he said he would go as I wouldn't know where it was! )I have a sat nav FFS).
Suits me as I got to crack open the wine.

Anyway, last night we were discussing a family holiday and a place very far away that I love but a massive drive.
I suggested getting put on his insurance and sharing some of the journey. After getting some experience with his bigger car first
His response was no its fine. I will drive all of the way , I dont mind.
I feel irrationally annoyed. I'm not going to say anything but I'm waiting or the next comment when I will.
Am I being oversensitve?

My DH likes driving, as do I. BUT he chooses to drive us all the time.
Then when we have an argument about anything, he always brings up that he has to do all the driving!!!!
NO HE DOESN'T - HE WANTS TO!!!
Grrrrr...

I don't understand, you don't actually want to drive and he has said he's happy to do it.

Presumably he has listened to you saying how anxious you are around driving and he's just sparing you the anxiety of a very long journey on unfamiliar roads.

If you actually wanted to do it I could understand why you would be peeved, but you don't actually want to drive.

I don't suppose you would have been happy if he had told you to just get over it or that you were being silly when you were struggling to make short journeys and it sounds like he didn't do that but was actually quite supportive.

It sounds like you have done really well sticking with it and getting better at doing it, your confidence has increased etc. I don't really understand why you are cross.
