When it comes to relationships, everyone has different expectations and boundaries.
One of the more common issues couples face is the expectation of one partner to provide transportation for the other.
On the surface, it can seem like an innocuous request, but if it becomes a consistent issue, it can cause a lot of resentment and frustration for the partner who is always behind the wheel.
My girlfriend recently told me that she can’t take public transport and that I have to fetch her everywhere. This has put me in the position of being her personal chauffeur and I’m not happy about it.
I understand that she’s trying to save money by burning my money, but I feel like she’s taking advantage of me by expecting me to always be there to drive her around.
Her excuse “There are weird guys on the train”.
I don’t think it’s fair for her to expect me to always be the one to drive her everywhere. I understand that she’s scared, but I think she needs to face reality and try to take public transport instead of relying on me always to be there to drive her.
For starters, I think she needs to understand that her fear of public transport is not an excuse to take advantage of me. She needs to understand that I have a life too and I have other commitments that need my attention too. I can’t always be available to drive her around and she needs to be more independent and take public transport when I’m not available.
I also think she needs to understand that I’m not her chauffeur. I think she needs to take responsibility for her transportation needs and not rely on me as her driver. I’m happy to help out from time to time, but I think she needs to start taking public transport more often and not expect me to always be there to drive her.
I also think we need to communicate more about this issue. We need to be able to talk about our expectations and come to a compromise that works for both of us.
