Women who do all the driving in a relationship is not the norm. So when you find a couple who have established a new norm it is always interesting. There are two ways this thing can go. On the one hand the guy may be a Beta. On the other hand, he may be taker. The Beta lets the woman drive because it is symbolic of who is in charge. The taker is just plain sorry.

While I admittedly do most of the driving in my relationship it is not symbolic of who is in charge, it is because my wife wants the luxury of being driven everywhere. Hence a guy who does not do that for his woman is not a gentlemen, if she would prefer to be driven everywhere like a princess.

I drive everywhere simply because I don't mind driving and my wife's driving scares the shite out of me

I drive around a town. We split on road trips because I hate driving long distances because I have the attention span of a goldfish and get bored within the first 30 minutes. Podcast have helped this.

People who judge others on which significant other drives are omega.

Wife drives 2/3 of the out of town stuff. I got posting to do. Driving is boring and she's a good driver.

Alpha's don't need to start threads to proclaim their alpha-ness, only beta's who feel the need to proclaim that they're alpha's do that.

When we go somewhere in my car, I drive. When we go somewhere in her car, she drives. The only real reason is that I'm a lot taller than my SO, and neither of us like moving the seat. Just laziness.

I've got a buddy who I see often on the weekends with our families and such.. His wife is always driving, finally I asked why? He's a sales rep and drives the state all week and thus the reason..

I do all the driving because I'm a control freak and I dont like to be a passenger in any car.
