Your partner doesn't drive, does it bother you?

Can't drive? Deal breaker if they say they won't learn.

How can anyone survive in the modern world (except maybe in London) without being able to drive?

As others have said, very easily.

But for so many people public transport isn't an option so driving is essential. Completely depends where you live.

Same way people survive without a mobile phone glued to their side 24/7 - It's perfectly possible so long as you aren't gullible enough to believe the adverts that say you can't/

If people can't drive they usually choose not to live in rural areas with no public transport- for fairly obvious reasons -As we all to a greater or lesser extent choose where we live- your post is a bit "If the moon was made of cheese" in its logic.

Few people need to drive nearly as much as they claim - often it is just laziness. They are too lazy to walk fifteen minutes to a shop or a bus stop. I'm not talking about people with disabilities - just your common or garden lazy person who "just couldn't live" without a car. No wonder we're a nation with increasing obesity

But we aren't talking about those people. We are talking about OPs boyfriend.

Where you are clearly talking about "so many other people" and not the OP's boyfriend !

Did you forget you'd just posted that ?

You obviously live somewhere with fantastic links and can't understand any other viewpoint.

You're welcome to it.

If you don't drive, you choose to live somewhere convenient, with good public transport.

Exactly, but OPs boyfriend hasn't, thus causing the issue.

We don't know that - all we know is that the OP thinks he can't use public transport to come to her place and he starts work earlier than it runs to where he works.

When they get their own place, they can choose to live somewhere that's convenient for a non driver.
