Advice Needed

[Redmt]

No matter what I say I think it's going to be wrong.
Short story,,,the boss and I go to Patterson yesterday, get home and unload groceries and stuff in walk-in at the shop. She says "I'll move your truck back to the house" . I say leave it for later. She moves it anyway to be nice. This morning she has to go to Livermore for other stuff. She jumps in her brand spanking new 2024 Subaru and backs into the side of the bed and rear bumper of my truck. Things happen and I'm not worried and I'm not going to say anything about it, that's what insurance is for. She comes over to the shop and says "I backed into your truck, it was parked in the wrong spot". I responded with a simple OK.
I get the feeling there's going to be more said after she gets home. This is where the advice comes in. Should I just smile and say nothing? Maybe that I should have moved it myself? Maybe I should hide? Runaway from home? I don't see an easy way out. BTW her new car has a backup camera and alarm.
50 years of marriage and this is a new one.

Lol, I would remind her and chuckle about it, in a fun way.

If you made it 50 years there has been a lot of laugh about moments. If you can’t have some fun ribbing each other it’s not worth being married.

I doesn't matter to me. It's a minor Oh shit as far as I'm concerned. A few years ago I backed into a Lexus that ran up my ass in a gas station. I destroyed the front of the Lexus, it didn't hurt my truck. Her response was that I probably shouldn't have done that. I think she's probably upset that she whacked her new car.

You should have already said, um...sweetie...remember YOU pulled the truck in yesterday and it's park where YOU parked it If she's a keeper she will look at you and laugh and say, oh, crap, you're right....I'm sorry....

 

[Redmt]

Hah. I did mention that it wasn't me that parked it there. We park at right angles and she didn't pull it up another 5-10 feet.
She was in a hurry this morning and wasn't paying enough attention. To me it's no big deal. I think to her it's her 10 day old new car. She'll get over it as long as I don't laugh too much.

the secret is not having to be right so why mention it, it was an accident

 

[Redmt]

Not going to say a word! We didn't get this far pointing fingers. I'd loose for sure.

If she's a keeper

You did read that they've been married for 50 years, right? 'A keeper', he said!!!

Are you sure it was an accident? Maybe after 10 days she realized that having a Subaru is a horrible idea and thought this was a way out?

Life’s too short to sweat the small stuff

 

[gouch]

I don't know what to tell you. She parked your truck, she then backed into the truck she had parked. You had no involvement in the event whatsoever so clearly, it's all your fault. Just take your punishment and move on.

 

[Redmt]

She got in a bit ago. I asked how her trip to town was and she said "Ok pretty much like usual". I said great, so you didn't back into anyone? She laughed, didn't answer but did laugh.

 

[Dakotakid]

Lighten it, tell her you will have a talk with your truck about parking in her path and making her late.

 

[brymoore]

There’s nothing you can say to help your situation.

Take her out of dinner

Keep your mouth shut

From someone that has bought themselves more celibacy than you can imagine with a smart mouth, this is great advice. mtmuley

You don’t need this kinda stress in your life, take it to the dealer and trade it in, get a Shelby mustang or corvette or Porsche or something.

With all the new technology with bells and whistles in the new vehicles it’s almost impossible to hit anything. I’m thinking it was intentional
