AITA: I don’t want my S/O to use my car to take out his trash?
we have been together 2 years. I’m 56 F he’s 47 M. we don’t live together but do live in the same apartment complex. that’s a different story. the dumpster is at the other end of the complex. not far but still. I drive my trash in my suv because I have walking limitations.
my bf has a car. he wont take his trash out unless he can use my car. he is disabled but not so much that he can’t walk to the dumpster or use his car. i asked him why he can’t use his car and he said he doesn’t want it to risk it spilling in his trunk and get on his tools. he has commented that he feels bad using my nice car to take his trash down
one example: the one that was the final straw for me. My daughter was borrowing my car. My car my choice. She’d had it about a week. I work from home and now retired so right now I don’t go anywhere and I watch my grandchild. well bf got upset that she had my car. Said they were taking advantage of me. And wanted me to have her come here on her break so he can use MY car to take out his trash. I said no. Asked him why he won’t use his car. He told me the part about it might spill. So you are ok with it spilling in my car which is newer and nicer but not your own car? Or better yet just walk it down there. He held onto his trash for a week just because of this.
while I would just have my daughter take my trash with her when she left in the mornings after dropping off my grandchild Because she offered and also because he was asleep so he wouldn’t know and try to get her to take it for him.
needless to say he finally took his trash down to the dumpster a week later by walking it down. It was a lot He had let pile up
