"No" is a complete sentence. End of.
Frankly, years ago I had a carpool switch situation with someone I was "friendly coworker" with. We would alternate days and I put an end to that arrangement ...quickly. I didn't appreciate her incessant cell phone conversations that made so I couldn't even listen to music. If there was an emergency situation for either one of us that we would need to leave, got sick, etc... I felt a responsibility or kind of "stuck" just thinking about it, so nah. Would not recommend. I needed my commute as "me" time to decompress from the day.
I would ask your wife how she would feel. If you just don't want to do it, just say no. You really don't have to come up with an excuse to say no.
Yikes. If you can’t say no right now… imagine later. Is she hot?
Just say, "Thanks for asking, but that won't work for me" and leave it at that. No need to be weird about it.
Just say your mornings are busy and you don’t have time. Or lie and say your schedule shifts a lot and you can’t commit.
Since he works with her, she will know if this is true or not. Better off not lying.
That's a hard no. And you simply say no, without excuses. This is highly inappropriate and will 100% lead to nothing but trouble. Please also tell your wife about and tell her thst you already declined. She will love you more for it.
What did you decide to do?
Before COVID I carpooled with an older lady to work, it was quite challenging because she was the type that logged off the minute 3:30 hit and I wasn’t like that, she also always packed lunch and I always wanted to go out, at first the idea of car pooling sounded great because our office moved 40 minutes away and we lived 1 street away from eachother. Eventually I just was honest and told her it was great to save on gas costs but I preferred to spend my mornings alone in the car to get in the right headspace for work with music and to be able to have the freedom to go out for lunch/ go to apts etc without having to think of a second person as it was getting to the point where I was canceling our car pooling days more often than not. She was very receptive and agreed and we are still friends to this day.
On the flip, my husband did this when he lived an hour and a half from work and loved it (with another guy), I think it’s just very dependent on if you want to do it and who with.
