Last winter, I was thinking about buying a car. He thought it made more sense to have me drive his weekend car since he was paying for it whether it was being driven or garaged and he was only driving it one or two days a week.

Over the summer, I car-shopped for something quasi-independent from him. He wanted to "finance" it for me at no interest (other than airport runs when he traveled, which aside from when he left for sports-related trips with tons of gear, I did anyway). Ultimately, I passed as I did not want to make a long-term commitment to him financially, nor did I want him to expend additional money on my behalf to pick up a third car.

The lease on "my" car ends in March, so we will again be faced with my having to look for a car and him having to look for a car, which may end up being (1) a new weekend car that he buys/leases and has me drive primarily, (2) one or two new cars for him with me driving his current primary vehicle, or (3) my own car, separate and apart from him and not giving a shit what he does for a new weekend car.

He cares what kind of car I drive, if it is his car, and he wants it to make sense for me overall, even if it is just my car alone.



Eh, the car thing had nothing to do with it. He made it clear ahead of our break in September that he did not want to penalize me while he was figuring things out about our relationship, etc.

I didn't read that, no offense, although, having said that, I am thinking about getting a Ferrari. Thoughts?
