My partner had a midterm this morning and once he got to school, realized he had the wrong calculator and called me four times to ask me to bring the right one. Problem is, I was sleeping. He didn’t know this, but it was one morning I had off so I took the chance to sleep in.
He’s now not talking to me because he did poorly without the calculator. AITA?
NTA. If he’s punishing you for his mistake, you need to dump him.
NTA, hes old enough to get his own stuff
NTA whatsoever. His poor planning does not constitute a problem on your end.
He’s an adult. He did learn a lesson. Cell phones don’t mean you are entitled to 100% of someone’s time. You also don’t do poorly because of a calculator.
NTA. He made a mistake and you were not available to help him fix it. That’s his problem, not yours.
NTA I’d look for a new partner. That one is a dud.
That’s his problem, not yours. NTA

NTA. I get the frustration on his end—but it’s only acceptable if it’s frustration *at his mistake*, not at you.
It would’ve been awesome and so nice if you’d been able to. You weren’t, and that’s okay. Just because you doing it would’ve been super nice doesn’t mean you did anything wrong in being unable to.
Silent treatment is a form of manipulation. Be safe.
LMAO Do you do his homework, too? Your partner needs to at least act like an adult.

He took a wrong calculator. It happens sometimes. It’s life. You wasn’t up to pick up his call. It also happens.
Shît happens like all the time. If he blames you on this. Then he isn’t an adult. He will need to be with his mother and she can fix everything for him.
NTA you were asleep, he forgot his calculator. It would have been nice, for him if you were up and able to bring him the other calculator, but it is not required that you sit waiting by the phone with rapt attention just in case he needs to call because he forgot something.
>once he got to school, realized he had the wrong calculator
He should have borrowed one, or gone to the bookstore and bought one.
It was your day off, you were sleeping, and he’s blaming you for his mistake. If there was enough time for you to go all the way to the campus to hand him the calculator, there was enough time for him to solve his own problem.
