Left turn courtesy question with MS Paint

[wadea]

So the wife and I have a small difference of opinion on
this: Our driveway is on a street with two lanes going
each way. To complicate things, it's a fairly
well-traveled street. The situation is - I need to turn
left and there is a gap in the nearest, left-bound lane,
but going now will make it so that I'm driving toward and
merging right next to a car in the far left-bound lane.
If I don't go now, the hole closes, right-bound cars come
and I have to wait for a new gap.
When somebody turns next to my wife like this, it makes
her uncomfortable because she's never 100% sure that
they're not going to turn wide and hit her. As such, she
hates when I turn in this situation because it might make
the other guy uncomfortable. I say - what do I care if
he's uncomfortable? This is legal and I'm going.
