To not ask for or expect a lift to work after July

[Outhere4]

i get a lift to work with a colleague in her car every day. We live in the same building, on the same floor. We work in the same place.
I give her money each week.
i am very grateful to her for giving me a lift each morning.
I'm on time, polite and pay her on time or early if she needs it.

i sometimes get the feeling that she doesn't want to take me for much longer.
it would need to be for another 11 months and then i'm moving abroad.
i do have the option to move to a less nice flat up the road, a tiny bit nearer work and from there i may be able to taxi-share with some other colleagues, if they are around in the mornings.
should i stay here and hope she can give me a lift, or should i just move?

Move to the flat if you would prefer to do that. If not just talk to her but give her an easy opt out, then move if she seems reluctant.

You might find she's disappointed if you don't continue especially if sometimes you've paid early because she needs the money.

yeah, i've given her money early a few times because she had none left to get her through to the end of the month.

i've decided to move to the other housing complex where our colleagues are placed. i can move at the end of the month. its a lot less isolated and there's more than 50 of our staff there, as opposed to just me and her down here.

thanks for all the advice. i feel better now and i know what's best to do.

Why not just talk to her first? She might like the company if she's as isolated as you say.

I used to give a friend a lift to work, sometimes I was a bit grumpy as I'm not a morning person, or was a bit stressed about the day ahead. It might be nothing to do with you. Just ask her

It sounds like the move would be beneficial to you in other ways so you might as well do it.

Yeah, i do wish i had been placed at the other housing complex in the first instance. it would have been much nicer, more convenient and much more social. but we all had to take what we got. and i was placed in one of the only two isolated flats.
dying to move, now i've made up my mind.
