Should he fill my car up

[ishetakingthepissornot]

So DH had an issue with his car and has been using mine all week.

I filled it up last weekend and have done about 7 miles since then myself.
He's used it to ferry DSS around locally and further afield and also to work once in the next town.
I got in my car this morning and the warning light is on for petrol.
I'm so annoyed at this. He's just announced he's off to put some in his car ready to take it to the garage mid week.

AIBU expecting him to refill or even half full my car up.
We don't have shared finances FYI.

This is the kind of dirty action my xh would have played. It is not insignificant but if you make a fuss it's easy to make you look needy. A slow build up of tiny mean actions and you find out he's a pig. A one off is acceptable but no one nice would do that knowingly.

Yeah it's really annoying OP and thoughtless.
I had to drive my DH to a meeting about an hour away recently and he insisted on filling my tank up as a thank you but also because the fuel was used for him (we maybe used 1/6 of a tank on the journey)

My H been using my car for the last week or so, and filled it up when it got low. I didn’t have to ask him to, I would have been a bit annoyed if he’d left it on empty

Its just a tank of fuel, I cant see I'd get upset over it

For me it wouldn't even be about the money, but the disrespect of using up all your petrol then leaving you to sort out the empty tank. I would not be happy.

It's not just the tank of fuel though is it? OP now has to go out of her way to refuel to get to work. And it shows a lack of care and respect for her DP

DH and I do have shared finances and he still knows to fill up my car when he has drawn down the tank, just to save me the hassle. My car is better for certain errands so sometimes he borrows mine.

*FROM her DP / for her

He’s going to put petrol in his car, if he were going to fill yours too he would have said so.

Don’t let him get away with it, send him out to full yours too -and tell him it better be a full tank!

This would drive me mad!

DH and I don’t formally share finances but it would be the rudeness of leaving an issue he has created for me to fix.

I don't think it's a matter of money, just common courtesy. You borrow something you make sure you return it in good condition.

Yanbu.
My dh rarely uses my car, but when he does it always come back with a full tank if he's used a fair amount of fuel. I don't have to ask. I would do the same if I used his fuel.

Husband and I have entirely shared finances so the money wouldn't bother me but I'd be furious that he'd left me with little fuel in the tank.

(When I lived at home and borrowed my parents' cars I always had to replace any fuel I used).

@ishetakingthepissornot

Did you get him to fill up?

Just send him out when he gets back. Don't go out of your way tomorrow and pay for his petrol on top of that.
