How to quit carpool to work politely
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.

Just tell him that starting ( insert date) you will be driving yourself to work due to other obligations you have before/after work.
TTC since June 2012
I was in this exact same situation. I let him know that due to my new responsibilities at work, I needed to start driving myself to work because I needed to get there earlier than he did (they have flexible working hours at my former job), and I would start driving myself to work.
It worked out for me. I ended up paying more in gas, but it relieved my stress and offered me more flexibility when I had to leave earlier or work later, I wasn't always "holding someone up".
