So my partner has offered to pick up his friend because she doesn't like driving. However it's like a V shape. 40 minutes to pick them up, followed by another 45 minutes. When they could just drive themself saving 1hr 20 minutes.

I think he is being an enabler and allowing her to avoid driving. He says she is anxious about driving. However I think not encouraging her to drive she can't grow as a person and build her confidence.

He says it's a one of but I think this will start a trend.
