Anxiety through the roof due to car purchase

[IamAporcupine]

DH has been just appointed a new job that means he will have to drive ~100 miles per day. He might not need to go in every day, it might be just 3 days a week, we do not know yet.

We have a 10 year old car that is in relatively good condition but has always been used only for short trips a couple of times per week.

Last year DH bought a 'sports' car that he always wanted and managed to get an extremely good deal for it. I was not happy about this at first but I let it go in the end.

So now he wants to buy a third car.

He has explained why he thinks this is necessary and I kind of very vaguely see his points now (I didn't at first) but this is still way out of my confort zone and somehow really upsets me.

We are not extremely well off but we are OK, we both have good jobs and have other source of income too, so could afford it. Also he will be earning more now.

But I just simply do not want to. My anxiety goes through the roof just by thinking about it. I guess I could come to terms with it myself, but I hate what our DS(7) will take/learn from this.

I do not think I will convince him otherwise, so I will probably need to find a way to deal with it.

Please please be gentle.

ps - I do not drive.

So DH does about 35,000 miles per year, admittedly in a company car, but all his many cars (only one at a time) have coped fine with that mileage. He didn't alternate cars (he couldn't as he and his colleagues were only issued one each).

What your DH is suggesting, is madness. Where on earth will he park all these cars? What about having to shuffle them round each time he wants to use a different one?

Do you have a driveway for all these cars?

@senoritafirever - that made me laugh! Parking is the least of my worries!

@HappyDadOf3 - thanks it's a strange relieve to know that he is not the only lunatic that wants to have 3 cars.

Re the anxiety - I think it's a combination of things.
Buying another car is something that I would never consider myself, and goes against what i believe is "correct" (although I admit I can have extreme views and judge others harshly). I find it embarrassing somehow.

And on top of that is the financial Implications of course.
