| Would you do this for your lover?? Men and women please respond
Posted: 8/11/2005 9:29:33 AM | Hi, I'm Joy and I'm posting this under my friends name because I just wanted to see what men and women would think and/or do in this situation. Here goes:
My boyfriend wrecked his mom's truck. She is out of town. She knew in a round about way that he was driving her truck, but didn't exactly give him permission. He has his own vehicles, however, her's is nicer and you know how it goes. Anyway-he wrecked it. Really bad. He feels horrible. It was completely not his fault. It was a down pour, her breaks are horrible and lock up all the time and that is what happened and he spun out and hit a fire hydrant. It is a lot of damage. The problem is that he has a reputation for driving crazy or drinking and driving or just being irresponsible. He and his mom are like the best of friends. When he wrecked it, he wasn't doing anything wrong. He had been at home with me watching movies and decided he was hungry. Okay, now to what I want your opinion on. I am going to take the heat for it. People know that I can't really drink that often because of our son and I don't want him to get blamed for doing something that he wasn't doing. I told him to tell his mom that he had parked behind my car so I took the truck to go get something to eat, it was raining, it was dark........ You get the point. He doesn't want to do this, but I think he is going to. I am fine with it, but I wanted to see if anyone else would do this for their man and... Men, would you let your woman do this for you and would you think it was respectable that she was willing to take the bullet for you? Keep in mind, that I have a flawless driving record and this will be turned in on my insurance. Thanks for any advice. | |

| Would you do this for your man???
Posted: 8/11/2005 9:37:37 AM | | wow.... I don't think I would do this for a guy....but you have to tell us how long you have been together and all that....maybe if it was for a really long time and his mom loves you and would understand....lots of other factors | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 9:38:24 AM | I think you're a moron.
He made the mistake, he should pay for it.
WTF if the road conditions change, so should the driving. He is a careless driver. Plain and simple. Using the excuse that it's dark, and was raining, is being in denial. If you don't have proper vision, get a pair of glasses. Can't handle weather changes on the road, you shouldn't be driving. The breaks aren't in perfect condition? That makes him more of a careless driver.
You can tell him you will stand by his side, but why ruin your driving record for someone who, as you said yourself, is irresponsible. The best thing you can do for "your man" is to teach him responsibility. | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 9:41:50 AM | | I would like to say I would do it, but honestly I wouldnt, I also have a girl, now, i dont want to ruin anything in my reputation, over a man. Even if i diid love him. | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 9:42:13 AM | | It is not that I am trying to get him out of anything. He is still going to have to pay financially for the damages, but I am more worried about his relationship with his mom. She is really-besides me and his kids-the best friend that he has. And I just think she would take the news better if she thought I did it. | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 9:44:33 AM | Wow I skipped over the part about the drinking and driving.
The man is apparently a loser. Why do you want to protect someone like that?
He needs to be taught a lesson, and needs to learn the hard way.
Would you be so keen to protect him had he run into someone and killed them?
Wake up, use your brain and quit thinking with your box! | |

That is the sorriest excuse I've ever heard in my life.
Yes she will be upset. He pays and takes responsibility for his mistake. Mom will eventually forgive and move on.
Grow up........how old are you exactly? | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 9:48:23 AM | | Okay first of all, he WASNT drinking and driving and you need to slow your role and not be so hateful. He is not a horrible person. He's the kind of person who if you had broken down on the side of the road and everyone else is passing you by he would stop and help you. It was an accident. You know, we can't all be perfect. Sounds to me like you need to get laid. | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 9:49:44 AM | ^^^^^nope you're just in denial.
You admitted that he is an irresponsible driver, and obviously he can't face up to his mistakes, and you like to baby him so he doesn't have to. | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 9:54:15 AM | | Hey crayola, maybe you should go back to school and learn how to read. I said he had a REPUTATION for being an irresponsible driver. I didn't say he was. And no I'm not in denial. This man would take a bullet for me anyday of the week and twice on Sunday. If anything he spoils me and the kids, not the other way around. He works his butt off and just happened to be having a really bad day that only got worse. I asked for your opinion so I shouldn't take it so seriously-I shouldn't be mad at you because you have obviously never loved anyone enough to protect them. And afterall, opinions are like a$$holes everyone has one. | |

I think you're a moron.
Crayola ... succinct, to the point and precisely correctt. I don't think you needed to explain any further  | |

I said he had a REPUTATION for being an irresponsible driver.
A reputation is developed by demonstrating the action.
That you admit in more than one post. | |

I'm responding to a woman not a man. Hence the explanation.  | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 9:59:28 AM | | How old are you exactly and why do you look like should be swinging from a brass pole and picking up ones? I am old enough to know what I am doing and maybe if you knew what kind of life they have had and that his father wasn't around (and berfore you say anything it is not a pretty story so don't go popping off at the mouth about what you can't possibly understand) you might understand the friendship and respect one has for their mother. | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 10:01:10 AM | why are you even asking for opinions then.
how old is he anyway? 16? takes his mom's car because it's nicer than his and wrecks it?
please he should have lived out this drama 20 years ago | |
|

Posted: 8/11/2005 10:01:43 AM | | Is that fair to say that one's reputation is true and factual? I mean, just by looking at your profile I came to the conclusion that you looked like you had a reputation for being a prostitute and crack w*ore. So are you telling me that I am correct? | |

It was completely not his fault
So who made him choose to drive the truck? His choice, his fault.
When he wrecked it, he wasn't doing anything wrong
He wasn't doing anything wrong.... accept driving a truck that wasn't his, without permission.
I don't want him to get blamed for doing something that he wasn't doing
He may not have been drinking, but if he has his own vehicles, then he still made a dumbass choice in taking a car that didn't belong to him, specially one that he apparently knew was not in good repair.
No offence, but I think you are a fool to do this. Teach him to be an adult and take responsibility for his own choices. | |

This very topic of looking like a ripper was dicussed in a previous thread. Please do a search before posting redundant topics.
BTW you are getting off topic. :)
OT: It is obvious you are looking for someone to back you up on this and it is clear that no one in this thread is. On the other hand you will do as you please correct? | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 10:03:52 AM | | I understand what everyone is saying. I am not protecting him. I just think it would be easier for her to take the news if she thinks I did it. Don't you remember being a kid and breaking your mom's favorite vase and blaming it on your friend because she could only yell at them so much and they got to ignore if they wanted to? Plus, in that situation you still get in trouble your just sharing the blame with someone else. | |
