So bit of background, I am 14 and a half weeks pregnant and feeling really unwell most the time. This week my partner has to work away in London, so this involves getting a train every day. I said he should take the car and leave it at the train station car park as I can't park it at my work and I'll be going backwards and forwards taking him everyday. So Monday was fine, as was Tuesday. Today I had a message saying there's no parking, so I've just left the car outside the carpark, on further questioning it wasn't in a spot, I'm not at work today as im not very well so I said if you bring it back I'll take you or there's another carpark around the corner. Anyway cut a long story short he just left the car there I then had to walk to the train station at 06:15 to retrieve the car from a bus lane on double yellows!!! He is now saying it's all my fault as I should of just driven him everyday. Is he being unreasonable or was I?!

Is he a moron?

He's being a complete pillock.

It's irrelevant whether you're pregnant or unwell. You didn't need the car. He did. Then he parked it illegally.

If you can walk to the station, why hasn't he just been walking?

And you’re having a child with this moron?!

RhiWrites · 11/12/2019 08:36

He’s more than unreasonable, he’s selfish and inconsiderate. Is that his usual behaviour?

UnilakTea · 11/12/2019 08:36

The train station is a 25 minute walk away, he didnt want the option of walking 🤷

You should have left his car to get towed.

RhymingRabbit3 · 11/12/2019 08:39

How long did it take you to walk to the station? If it's less than half an hour, why doesnt he just walk?
Unfortunately I think you bailing him out by walking to retrieve the car is basically validating what he is saying. Easier said than done, but maybe just leaving the car there for him to deal with the consequences would have been more effective. He's just going to do this every day now so that he inconveniences you more and you agree to drive him instead as its easier.

I’d be absolutely livid. The entitlement of him, just leaving the mess for you to sort out. Awful.

UnilakTea · 11/12/2019 08:40

It is a shared car and I didn't want to have to pay out for a parking ticket or it getting towed. I explained all of this to him but now he is just ignoring me 😂

Don't pick him up later!
You managed the walk. He can too.

RhymingRabbit3 · 11/12/2019 08:42

Definitely don't pick him up

PurpleDaisies · 11/12/2019 08:43

Don’t pick him up. You won’t be able to look in the mirror and respect yourself if you do.

justdoityourself · 11/12/2019 08:43

Crikey, he sounds like a right knob. Definitely don't pick him up, and have a serious chat about his need to grow up!

UnilakTea · 11/12/2019 08:45

I doubt I will be at this rate. I just thought I was helping him out by him not having to wait around for me in the mornings as I keep being sick Blush. I feel angry about it the more I think about it, I just didn't want the added stress of car problems at the moment.
