MY WAIF!

Today, for the third time this year, my wife backed into the garage door. We’d just finally got it fixed exactly one week ago for $1800 from the last time she did it. Somehow it’s my fault. FML

2 options then. Option 1. Remove the garage door. Option 2. Sell car and she can ride with you or uber

Previously it was "you left the garage open, so when I clicked the button it went down not up." Given it was 25 degrees outside, and she walked into the garage, she would have noticed if that were the case. It just didn't take. This time she claims it shut on its own, but someone hit the button. She leaves before I wake up, so both times I was sleeping. Mostly she just doesn't want to have to admit she's a bad driver when she's in a rush.

but it was your fault. You were the one who called and had the door repaired after the last time. therefore in some twisted round about way it is your fault.

Yep, your fault. You gave her keys to the car.

She keeps doing it because there's no pain. When you do something that you shouldn't do there has to be some kind of a pain to correct your actions. It could be the pain of having to install a garage door yourself or the pain of paying a huge amount of money to fix it or the pain of not driving a car for a while. One time is too much but of course you're going to forgive your wife but at some point she has to experience some pain in order to change. The problem is you're supposed to be your partner as a husband not her dad. You're walking a very fine line. How do you make your wife feel the pain of damaging your house so much while also walking with her? I think you work with her to fix the garage door but keep it ugly for a while so that every time she sees it she remembers. This is not like some controlling punishment. The fact is that as humans it's hard for us to change if we don't want to.
