Oh we have argued about it, but that doesn't get us anywhere either... hence my attempts to approach it more tactfully.

At one point I told her to imagine that every pothole had a puppy in it, and she had to avoid hitting them. Every time she hit one, I'd tell her that God killed a puppy somewhere. She'd laugh, and that actually did seem to help a bit because we were always joking about it.

But she really isn't watching for them, that's the problem. Potholes, curbs, rocks are just things that "happen", instead of something that's watched for.

I'm starting to wonder if she should just have her own car, and it would be hers to maintain and care for. Could be easier on both of us
