i rearended someone this morning...rant
Permalink Closed

and i am sooooo pissed.  there was hardly any damage, and the other people said that they didn't want to claim anything.  we exchanged information and all.  but i recently let my car insurance lapse on accident and am shopping for more insurance and i am sooooo pissed.  i had my 3 year old in the car!!  i can't believe i let that happen.  and to top it all off, my husband and i have been having some problems lately and last night we were really getting along and doing better and now this.  he is sooo  pissed at me.  he wants to get the damage fixed and sell my car.  this is my third accident since i got my liscence, first in this car.  i have gotten hit twice in a parking lots by people nailing me and driving off without a note or anything.  my car is only 2 years old and it all ready has a few dings in it, a couple of good scratches in it.  and i am about 30 seconds away from lemon lawing it because i have had to take it to the shop soooooooooo many times to get fixed for things i shouldn't have to get fixed.  i have had to have a new computer put in, a new transmition, a new stereo, new brakes and rotors, etc...  but he wants to sell my car so i can drive our old truck that is just ooooold and nasty and has been a work truck for so long so that i can mess that up instead of the car.  he just seems to know just how to make me feel worse about this.  i was running late for work and was tailgating the other car a bit and they came to a sudden stop.  so he starts giving me a lecture about how i put our daughters life in danger because i was going to be 10 minutes late for work. and making me feel so shitty about it.  so now i am sitting here at work with mascara all over my face because i burst into tears on the phone with him with my coworkers sitting right here stareing at me.  all i can think about is how i want to mame him with at bat.  so just when he decided to come stop sleeping on the couch where he has been for 4 days now, he is probably back on the couch now after this.  which is just great.  ok, rant over.

I don't think it's a good idea to sell your car now, with all the cosmetic damage your not going to get what it's worth.  I'd say drive this around.  No more tailgating!  It really doesn't get you anywhere sooner and is dangerous.

That sucks so bad... as if you didn't already feel bad enough about this! Obviously it was traumatic with your daughter in there and all, but it sounds like it wasn't that huge of a deal if they aren't even going to claim anything. I don't think it sounds like it is as big of a deal as your husband is making it. Obviously that doesn't help with what's going on with you two now, but surely it will blow over so soon because of that.

I agree with Cortney1982, I wouldn't sell it now. If there's cosmetic damage you might not get enough money off of it to make it even worth anything. Plus, if you can get money for it being a lemon, that would solve a lot right there.

omg.  im so sorry you have had such a crappy morning.  i can't believe your husband made you feel so bad about it.  he should have been supportive.  you know that you messed up, you need him to tell you its ok, not lecture you. 


(((hugs)))

first of all...*huge hugs* and i'm soooo sorry your husband's not being more supportive! hopefully if you can talk about it tonight, he'll realize that you really just need him to be understanding.


secondly, i completely know how you feel...i rearended someone about 6 months ago, and it is no fun at all...i know it's one of those dumb things that "could happen to anyone" but you can't help feeling terrible about it and like a total idiot.  i still beat myself up about it at times.  my car was totaled, i don't know if that's better or worse, but either way, it's awful to have to deal with a damaged car, insurance claims, all the financial strains that go along with it.  it's just fortunate it wasn't any worse and that you and your daughter are okay!


PM me if you need to talk more!

I am soooo sorry!


First of all, a car is all metal and plastic. More importantly, YOU and YOUR DAUGHTER are OK!!


Your husband needs to realize that everyone makes mistakes and it is more important for him to be grateful you guys weren't hurt! It'll be ok. If you have to drive a nasty truck ... oh well. Once he cools off, I am sure he'll be open to the idea of getting another new car (and a more reliable one, too!).


Good luck with everything. It'll be ok. I am sorry -- but if your husband wants to sleep on the couch because you had a car accident (and they are called accidents for a reason), then I say let him!

thanks ladies, i really appreciate all your support and kind words.  by the time i got home, he had calmed down and is not going to sell my car, and he did not sleep on the coutch, but the warmth that was there the day before is now gone.  he didn't hug or kiss me at all  yesterday.  it's just kind of lonely.  but at least the whole accident thing can be taken care of and go away.

I'm sorry, Tashina - that seriously sucks. I hate it when I screw up and I have no one to blame but myself. It's the worst!!


As for your hubby, I'd just give him some time to cool off. Maybe make him a nice dinner or something to let him know you want to work on the two of you (or something like that).


Vent here all you want - you definitely deserve it.
