1. Marriage is forever. Don't ever bring it up to her again. It is really between her and
someone else.
-----------------
2. Accept no blame for what someone else does. Don't discuss it with anyone else
including the office bastards......and next time you get the keys....keep the keys.
---------------
3. And since the keys and responsibility were handed to you, as a responsible person
it would be the right thing to do to start sending some money every week to the guy
who gave you the keys and the responsibility. When the amount you send equals the
book value of the BMW, you have paid for the car.
4. In the future Don't borrow anything which you cannot pay for.

I was supposed to return it a week after, and his sister who will be coming to his house will wait for it. But my wise wife decided to use it WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. SHE LATER SAID SHE WAS ONLY GONNA FLAUNT IT TO HER AMIGA. She crashed the car!! I am super furious even as I type this now! Because of her, my good friend was "turned off" because I couldn't take care of HIS CAR that I borrowed.
My wife and I are still not talking. I now have a nickname in our office and rumors are circulating about me, a guy who "borrows a BMW and crashes it because he doesn't know how to drive". As much as I'm angry, I want to resolve this conflict with my wife. But she has sky high ego and won't even fix her mistake and apologize properly. I can't believe I married someone like this. What should I do?
