By the time he’d get out dealership would be closed plus he’d not go a dealership in scrubs with potentially hazardous body fluids on and what difference does it make who takes car to the dealership????
She said she never in her life took her cars to repairs or did anything else car related. I thought it was the stupidest idiotic thing I ever heard. And she was getting kind of indignant about it too and I was forced to defend why u sm taking my own car to get fixed geez

WOW -- that is rather mind blowing. I suppose some women are far more traditional, even today, and still believe that a man should provide for them and take care of them. It's a state and principle of helplessness to live by when we're not helpless at all. I don't view men or relationships in this way myself.
