Good evening fam. I just want to drop this here even though I feel it's not the right thread. I like the romance forum.

I have a colleague at the office and she lives not too far from me. I have a good relationship with her husband as he's a Yoruba man. It happens she's still a learner and isn't too good driving. Although,she tries and I kinda supervise her but she never listens. She just wants to do her own thing. I end up driving almost every time

On our way back from work today she drove and she wanted to branch at a market to purchase some groceries so she was looking for where to park her car. I showed her a place and she said no that the place was too deep. But cars were parked there. I left her alone and she parked close to a bus stop. When she left,I was just in the car pressing my phone and Task force came and impounded the car. I tried pleading but to no avail. They asked if I was the owner of the car and I said no that it's for a colleague and she was going to be with us soon. The plea fell on deaf ears and they drove me and the car to the police station close by.

I tried calling my dad to know if he knew anyone there as he usually have lil connect but he said no. So I tried going back to where we parked so I could tell her what happend and where the car was. Fortunately, before I got to the gate of the station she was walking like a soldier angry saying why did I let them carry the car and all. And I told her how I pleaded and how they wanted to lessen the tire if I didn't give them the key. Still she was furious and was talking plenty things that got me annoyed that if it was my car would I have allowed them carry it that wasn't I a man to handle them.

The people said for violating I was going to pay 120k. And I just didn't know what to say. So I was like let's call Baba(her husband ), just to know if he had a connect. And she flared up saying what kinda talk was that and all like I was her baby or something. She said things that got me angry and I told her it's indeed not her fault and I kept quiet.

In the end I did some transfers and she gave some amount too.

I have made my decision not to drive her again because I was really hurt with the kind of things she said. And when we were heading home I called her attention to it gently. Yet she was saying why would I have allowed them carry the car that if it was my car nko. And lots of things.

I don't want to ruin the relationship I have with her husband

Please I need to be advised because I have crossed my mind not to drive nor go with her anymore

Respect your self and free her. Stop looking for cheap things. she will continually disrespect you until you put yourself in a position of respect. let her incidence motivate you to getting yours. and she is your friend's wife, stop following her. she doesn't deserve to be your friend

I just flashed through the writeup so maybe missed some points but she expects you not to be docile, i will assume its lagos since you no out direction so she expects you to activate madness when needed, she probably has a husband like that and has seen people doing that, to an extent she is right, cos if not shit like that will keep happening. If you are using just this day to judge her temper you are wrong, she simply expected more alpha masculinity from you.

U need to ask her what she was expecting u to do, immediately u said ure not the owner of the car they will want to see the owner just to get more money. 2ndly she caused it by parking at the wrong place or the incident will never have happened. Don’t drive her until u get an apology for her rude remarks. If possible explain the incident to her husband and take whatever he says since he’s a man he might have more sense than the rude and impatient wife.

Such woman don't even last in their matrimonial homes because any woman who claims to know too much is a big disease and shouldn't be associated with

I dont support her rashness too but you were wrong to have allowed them tow the car away. They should have lessened the tyre so she can meet you there with them. Women believe in what they see even if it's spoiling before their eyes. They're too insensitive to believe what happens in their absence. And avoid familiarity with toxic women. How are you even coping with such?

Awwwwwww sorry about that. You know how some women react when certain situations pop up.
Do not drive her again. Tell her husband respectfully to get someone else to drive his wife to work and that you can’t do that for her anymore. I won’t let some woman mistreat my man the way she did you.
If she’d listened to you, you both wouldn’t have gotten in that mess. Imagine you had to pay for something that could have been avoided. To avoid further mess, stay in your lane. Relate with her as colleagues but do not drive her anymore.
I’m sure you’ll get your own car soon enough.

Good evening fam. I just want to drop this here even though I feel it's not the right thread. I like the romance forum.

I have a colleague at the office and she lives not too far from me. I have a good relationship with her husband as he's a Yoruba man. It happens she's still a learner and isn't too good driving. Although,she tries and I kinda supervise her but she never listens. She just wants to do her own thing. I end up driving almost every time

On our way back from work today she drove and she wanted to branch at a market to purchase some groceries so she was looking for where to park her car. I showed her a place and she said no that the place was too deep. But cars were parked there. I left her alone and she parked close to a bus stop. When she left,I was just in the car pressing my phone and Task force came and impounded the car. I tried pleading but to no avail. They asked if I was the owner of the car and I said no that it's for a colleague and she was going to be with us soon. The plea fell on deaf ears and they drove me and the car to the police station close by.

I tried calling my dad to know if he knew anyone there as he usually have lil connect but he said no. So I tried going back to where we parked so I could tell her what happend and where the car was. Fortunately, before I got to the gate of the station she was walking like a soldier angry saying why did I let them carry the car and all. And I told her how I pleaded and how they wanted to lessen the tire if I didn't give them the key. Still she was furious and was talking plenty things that got me annoyed that if it was my car would I have allowed them carry it that wasn't I a man to handle them.

The people said for violating I was going to pay 120k. And I just didn't know what to say. So I was like let's call Baba(her husband ), just to know if he had a connect. And she flared up saying what kinda talk was that and all like I was her baby or something. She said things that got me angry and I told her it's indeed not her fault and I kept quiet.

In the end I did some transfers and she gave some amount too.

I have made my decision not to drive her again because I was really hurt with the kind of things she said. And when we were heading home I called her attention to it gently. Yet she was saying why would I have allowed them carry the car that if it was my car nko. And lots of things.

Please I need to be advised because I have crossed my mind not to drive nor go with her anymore





You did good by keeping calm.

You could have re-parked the car tho....since she left the key and you sat inside, because there are a lot of place where it's almost guaranteed your vehicle would be towed if you parked there.
