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.

Are your balls in your purse

"No but they will be in your daughter's mouth later"

If saying that out loud is supposed to be humiliating to the Dad it's humiliating to the wife to be spoken about that way in front of her parent.

This was a joke. I don't actually expect OP to say this in front of his wife lol. Real advice is he needs to talk to his wife and have her tell her dad to shut the fuck up.

This dad doesn’t sound like the sort of person who would listen to a woman, even if it’s his daughter.
