Don't worry about her, just concentrate on yourself. If this situation isn't working for you, then do something to change it. No one will have your best interests at heart better than you will.
You don't necessarily need to throw her under the bus, just go to the company and let them know that you are not comfortable with your current trainer. If they try to pry as to the reasons why, just tell them it's personal.
You could try having an adult conversation with your "friend" about these issues, but it sounds like she has her own interests at heart here and not yours so it may fall on deaf ears, could be worth a try though, just a thought.

Many drivers look back at their training with another driver as the most miserable time they ever had as a driver. Having said that, you sound like you got the double whammy. How exactly is she losing money training you, was she driving teams with her husband and can't with you? I'm guess that she's getting a referral fee for bringing you in the company, and will probably get a few cents for every mile you drive after the training is over. I wouldn't report any of her activities to the company unless they have an impact on you. Otherwise, let her sink her own ship. If you can put up with her for a while longer, just get it over with so you can be out on your own.

Yeah, typically training really sucks. It gets better and you will learn more, about actual driving, when you go solo.
Hang in there.Dave_in_AZ, Blueeyes Searching and Snailexpress Thank this. -
This sounds like a case of somebody wanting extra money to be a trainer, and not wanting to actually do the job.
How much longer are the two of you supposed to be cooped up together?Dave_in_AZ, bryan21384, Blueeyes Searching and 3 others Thank this. -
just ain't gonna happen. you have a learning curve, THAT SHE WENT THRU some time ago, and has totally forgotten that.
request a new trainer.
to me, from what you say, she is no friend at all.
otherwise, she'd be WORKING WITH YOU NOT AGAINST YOU.Dave_in_AZ, Western flyer, Blueeyes Searching and 2 others Thank this. -
My opinion your friend is a serious beyatch. As said here, she was a newbie once, she didn't forget, she's willfully ignoring those memories.
Hubby retires...was he who trained her? The she might have no idea how to actually professionally train. He retires but they're so broke she's taking it on you? That makes no sense.
How does one recruit a friend, make training pay off that friend, all the while blaming that friend for anything???? You're TRAINING... as in, you aren't at the point of being blamed for stuff yet...if she doesn't like where your skill set is at...she's the responsible party...
I had the only awesome trainer out there but that company was hateful lol...so. I'd say tough it out until you get out. Or if you think you'll lose your sht...if you're going to wreck. Or commit murder. Or turn to drugs and prostitution.. lol...ask for a new trainer. Probably won't be better but it'll be different and likely get you to the end of the training phaseDave_in_AZ, homeskillet, buddyd157 and 2 others Thank this. -
Blueeyes Searching Thanks this.

Get out of this situation. You need to have your head in the game. They is too much for you to take in and learn at this point in time. You are a danger to yourself, your “friend” and anyone else on the road.
Dave_in_AZ and Blueeyes Searching Thank this.
