My husband and I got a new vehicle that was gifted to us from his parents. He wants to make sure that I take good care of it, like keeping it clean and being careful when driving. With my last vehicle, I had accidently gotten too close to his car and his side mirror slightly dented mine. With the new vehicle, I have backed into a parking spot that was too narrow and left a tiny dent in the rear bumper. Last week, I was backing out of a parting spot i pulled into and was fairly sure I was using my mirrors. There was a lady who was also pulling out of a spot at the same time and I got a few scratches. I have not told him yet but know I have to. He has a tendency to be overcritical. I'm praying he will have a calmer reaction and not be so hard on me about it. I already told his parents and they are understanding. It's not going to be an expensive repair, and I plan on getting it taken care of next week. I'm just looking for the best way to approach telling him and also how to handle the conversation if he does get really upset. He is not in this community, so I'm looking for some good input. I'm also pregnant with our third, so I need to keep my emotions and stress under control.
