So it snowed tonight where I live and was below freezing. Of course that means there will be ice. My girlfriend was working out of her moms house until our internet was set up at ours. Meanwhile, I had her car till I got off of work and waited for her to clock off so we can drive back home. She drove, and took a backroad that she usually takes back to our side of town. The first 5 minutes of the drive I kept saying we should be taking the surface streets or the highway because those roads get more attention than backroads. She didn’t listen, and we slid off of the road, through a barb wired fence, and into someones yard. Immediately I was so angry with her. I was fuming while she of course was calm as ever. I didn’t yell at her, but I sternly made a statement about how it is common sense to take surface streets or the highway.
 
She said she didn’t know not to take the backroads. But like, HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW? Its common knowledge, or at least I thought it was.
So we spent almost two hours trying to get out of the snow with the help of the sheriff and a bystander. I ended up driving us through the rest of the backroad because I have more experience, but I was still mad the entire way home. Now we’re home and I’m still pissed about the situation and I don’t know why I can’t just get over it. I love my girlfriend more than anything, but how can she be so dumb about driving in icey conditions? I did apologize for being an asshole, we’re okay right now. But I still can’t grasp why I’m so angry and why I can’t just let it go.
