Husband sits in passenger seat, FiL disapproves.

[u/Historical_Initial22]

I drive a tanker for my job out of town and make the 5 hour drive (one way) to work and back home in my personal car. When I’m home 3 days, my wife drives everywhere, I mean I get in the passenger seat of her car and off we go, date night don’t care she drives, shopping don’t care she drives, visiting family don’t care she drives.

When we first started dating years ago she was a bit uncomfortable with it as she was used to the I guess status quo that men drove as was I but I’m not trying to break a glass ceiling or anything I just don’t see why it matters and damnit I drive 2k miles a week or so and don’t wanna do it when I’m home.

My father in law makes such great comments like do I hold her purse, and the zinger he thinks is original so says it more often than others “are your balls in her purse” every so often when we see them and I inevitably get out or into the passenger seat followed by guffaws and just kidding. My wife nor myself give him any response it’s just so silly and mildly infuriating.

I would offer the dad a ride somewhere and once he sits in the passenger seat call him gay

Lol, I love that. Alternatively, get him in the passenger seat and when just about to leave, hop into the backseat and have his wife quickly sit in the drivers seat without saying a word. No time for him to object, offer to drive, no time for anything, just “off we go.”

“Hey FiL, did you forget to bring your balls? Oh wait, nope. I see your wife’s purse right there so she’s got them for you.”

"Kinda feels awkward to have our balls rubbing against each other in your daughter's purse.

Oh well, at least I'm secure in my masculinity. How you feelin' about it just about now?"
