I have a flight tomorrow morning for a family affair and I asked my girlfriend if she could drive me to the airport. She agreed yesterday but said tonight that she would rather sleep in and asked if I could get an uber. We live less than 15 minutes from the airport and she has fri-sun off. The original time I asked if we could leave was at 8:00 am. I really feel like this is not a hard favor to fulfill and I feel if the roles were reversed I would be happy to wake up 4 am, 5 am and would drive further. She offered to pay for an uber but it was after I already expressed I was annoyed at the situation. Money is not an issue but I am annoyed cause I would rather just have one of us drive instead of using money on an uber. She worked until 9:30 tonight. Anyways I just feel like it is selfish of her but what do you guys think
Edit: for more information and thinking she is working late, that is her normal time she works and she works three days a week.
Also i am not so mad as if to end the relationship i just feel hurt cause i would do much more if roles were reversed.
Airport is not a major metro
Yeah my man would walk me on his back to Alaska. NTA. It’s 30 minutes. She could go back to sleep after.
NTA. Wow. Was not expecting to see so many “Y T A” comments.
Im totally with you, I would be pretty put-off in your situation. But Im also the type of person who would always do this for my partner, and so I expect the same in return in my relationship. I couldn’t imagine my husband telling me to just “get an uber”.
I wouldn’t ask a friend for a ride unless they insisted. But these are the types of tasks I feel are inherent in a relationship when you live together. Especially when it’s at a reasonable time in the morning and they have no schedule conflicts.
This comment section is wild. NTA. Just the other day my husband drove me to the airport at 4 in the morning because he knew it would be more comfortable for me and let us spend a little bit of time together before I would be gone for several days. I have done the same for him in the past. In relationships sometimes you just inconvenience yourself a tiny bit to help your partner out
Right? Like, they’re about to be apart for a few days. Maximize that time together, even if it’s just 15 extra minutes. It’s 8:30, not 4am. This isn’t a big ask. Her unwillingness feels like she isn’t as invested as OP.
