Accidents Happen

So Saturday we were driving along highway 93 when, BAM. . . And the car was totaled.

😢

Nick had that car for less than a week. He had just put collision on it the day before. The guy in front of us just stopped short in the left lane of a speeding highway. Nick braked fast, but not fast enough, and our car went under the other guys, the hood got pushed up and the front got smashed in. 😢

And then came the flashing lights: emergency blinkers, cops, and tow trucks.

There is nothing more depressing than standing in a dead car lot freezing your ass off during a lunar eclipse waiting for you boyfriend's family to pick you up and take you home.

I felt more than a little uncomfortable. . . I really wanted to help but I saw no way of doing this. He clamps up when he's feeling bad, won't let anyone in. The debate was whether I should have just gone home or stayed with him through the night.

Morgan,

I am just glad that you were not hurt and are able to still share yourself with us. Give him time, he will open up when he is ready.....

Did anyone ever notice how breaking in a new relationship is sort of like breaking in a new car? You slowly learn all it's little quirks, and how it reacts to different situations. I'm glad I stayed with him that night. We got a few things straightened out. . . Ugh. . . He has the worst luck though. . . This is his third car he's ruined, second totaled, and this is the sencond accident sinse I've been with him. . . Yeah. . . First he totaled a car. Then the next car he got was a piece of crap, he lost control of the stearing and spun out into a wall. And this car he got was actually not a bad car. And now it's dead.

Glad you're okay, though...

I got into a very similar situation with my ex, except he didn't slam into a car, he slammed into a tree...on (off, actually) a cliff...on a mountain...and totalled the car (with me in it). He was all weird about it, too, and didn't want to really talk about it after it happened. I think he had "issues" (well, he said he did, so he must have) with the fact that he almost killed us both. Said he saw a shadow, a jackrabbit, or something jump in front of the car...and swerved, then over-corrected and swerved the other way and...Bam! Then he was knocked unconcious (but I thought he was dead), we were driven to the hospital by drunk teenagers who were partying further up the mountain, the very first time he ever met my parents was at the hospital that night in a gown..in an actual hospital bed... and I'm traumatized for life by the whole thing...lol. To this day, no mountain driving for me, thank you very much.

He also rear-ended several people, and got rear-ended BY a couple, as well as almost killed us by forgetting to use his turn signal many a time, and nearly wrecked MY old Honda by *almost* backing it into one of those huge Ford F-350 trucks at a gas station ON PROM NIGHT. 🙂

I started to wonder if it was "me"...lol.
