As Malaysians, one of the basic must haves for living in Malaysia is to have a driver’s license. While public transport is slowly on the rise, some places are inaccessible with public transport and driving would be more convenient.
That being said, when Malaysians turn 18, they would usually apply for a driver’s license. Just recently, a pregnant mum shared her worries onto a Twitter page.
In her post she said,
“My husband doesn’t have a driver’s license and it’s making me really stressed out. Before we were married, I knew he didn’t have a driver’s license and would often encourage him to go get his license.
He told me that he didn’t have much money for it, and I just accepted it as I understand that we are just starting out. ”
She explained how she was patient and when they were dating, she would drive him everywhere and then send him home. She also shared that after they got married, he would still give excuses like he doesn’t have time to learn how to drive and every time they head back to their hometown, she is forced to drive long distance while he just sits by the side.
“I’m now pregnant and I’m worried that when I’m about to give birth, no one can send me to the hospital. He only rides his bike to work, and it makes feel like he isn’t wanting to take up the responsibility.
When our child is born, I’m sure he’d ask me to send our kid to school as well. I’m so stressed out and this could be solved as long as he takes his driver’s license”, she said.
Following the post, many netizens have left their comments and here’s what some of them said:
“Your husband should just take the license. It seems like he doesn’t really have the qualities to be a responsible husband if he continues to act like that.”
“After you give birth, you should sell your car and buy a 2-seater car. Then you can install a baby seat next to you and ask your husband to ride his bike everywhere, including when you guys are heading back to your hometown.”
“Why doesn’t he want to take his driver’s license? Maybe he has some sort of phobia?”
It’s best to be considerate and communicate with your partner on the expectations you have for each other. Have you ever experienced a similar situation? Let us know in the comments below!
