I know some of you have to go through this sometimes...so I come to ya'll for advice...
My girlfriend (of about a month) has all of a sudden become worried that I am going to get hurt when I race. I think a lot of it is because i just blew my engine racing. She thinks that something will happen that will cause me to be injured. And by racing I am talking controlled environment, autocross, 1/4 mile drag strip, etc...I do not race on the streets.
I've told her a milllion times how safe it is...she's even been down the 1/4 mile with me before, and afterwards said, that was fun, n didn't seem dangerous at all. I've told her reason after reason on why I do it, and will continue doing it...
main reason being...its my passion in life...
but yet, after a couple hour discussion today...she continues to think I dont care enough about her to quit...n she says not to do it just because of her, but everyone that cares about me...
I dont know what to tell her...except that I would do a lot of things for her...and i care about her a lot...but I can't give up my passion...
I personally think she is being a little "closed minded"
but I want everyones take on this...its really important that she knows I care about her, but also that she knows i can't quit...
thanks guys (n gals)
