Me (25m) and my gf (23f) are planning a weekend away in Malaysia.
Neither of us has a car so we were looking at coach/train prices and it pretty much costs more than our budget for the full weekend.
I passed my driving test this year but cannot afford to run a car on my current salary so have not bought a car yet.
I looked at the prices of hiring a car for the weekend and it is much cheaper and within our budget. I told my gf this and her response was absolutely not. She said it’s further than I’ve ever driven and she doesn’t trust me to drive us there.
This hurt since ow am I supposed to get used to driving long distances if she refuses to even consider it an option when I try. I told her it hurt me and her response was just that she wouldn’t feel safe with me driving her and to drop it.
I asked her why she wouldn’t feel safe and she said because I haven’t drive that far before. It is only a 3.5 hour drive and I used to do 2 hour driving lesson and driving my brothers car to visit my parents after I passed my test.
I told her that the high end coaches are out of my budget and if we weren’t hiring a car then I won’t be going. She accused me of cancelling the trip to hurt her after she said she doesn’t trust me to drive.
Am I wrong for not going on the trip after she said she doesn’t trust me to drive?
