how can i quit driving with coworker?
I've been carpooling to work with a male co-worker friend for a while. It's a good way to save money as our work is an hour away, but the more I get to know the man, the less I like him. He is always complaining about his girlfriend, children, ex-wife or our workplace. I frequently leave the car more edgy and stressed and have found myself making up excuses just to get a car ride alone.
How can I get out of this carpool now that I'm in it? I don't want it to be awkward at work, and I'm not sure being honest in this case is a good option.

Tell him you are studying and want to use public transport to enable yourself more reading time.
He should have no problem with that.

I agree with the other ladies......make up an excuse such as "I'm going to start hitting the gym before work" or "I have a standing appointment every Tuesday/Thursday so I'll be driving myself to and from work on those days". You don't need to tell him what it is and if he asks, tell him it's personal. Maybe this way you can still carpool a couple days a week but also get yourself a break.
I'm pretty up front and would probably be more direct. Next time he starts in just tell him it bothers you and you feel that he shouldn't be telling you so much about his personal life as a coworker. Or tell him the truth, "your constant bitching stresses me out and negatively affects my attitude and my whole day. Is there someone else you can talk to about your problems?" lol
