My husband and I are newlyweds (been married for 9 months). Before we were married, he asked if I would like to go 4 wheeling. (He loves 4 wheelers, motorcycles, race cars, etc.)It's really not my thing but I agreed to go with him (as a passenger). Well, fast forward to this past weekend, when he bought me my own dirt bike. He has talked non stop about getting me my own 4 wheeler pretty much since we got married. I went along with it, pretty much to make him happy and because I was pleased that he wanted me along. The purchase of a dirt bike was spontaneous. He wanted to look at some on his day off and I didn't think he was serious about buying one so soon. (I had told him repeatedly that I don't want a dirt bike, but he convinced that I did so I agreed. First dumb mistake.) So he had me ride it a little that afternoon and the next day and I crashed it twice. The second time, I got totally freaked out because I am dealing with anxiety (he knew about it when we married) and the bike has just made it worse. I am trying so hard to be a good wife and participate in the things he is passionate about but it is not going well. I feel sick just thinking of trying to ride it again but I know I have to because he is going to be making payments on it for the next 3 years. Any advice? I so wish I could rewind the past week and be firmer in my decision to just be a passenger. I just wanted to make him happy and now I've made a mess of things. Help!
