Catching a lift

[Minimise]

I work dayshift oh works nightshift.
I’m home for half 5 and do the dinner.
Every evening during the working week at 7.15pm I have to drop my partner at his pick up point he doesn’t drive. It’s a fifteen minute walk away.
Last night I was particularly tired and asked would his lift not collect him at the house to save me having to do this drop.
He is very angry at me says I am being horrible to him that it’s only 5 mins out my day and says he can’t ask to get picked up from the house as this would take the man he gets a lift with of his road. He has been going on and on.
When he comes in in the morning he has a can of beer, breakfast, relax, bed. I’ve tried to say there are some evenings when I would like to come in have the option of a glass of wine if I wanted, an unrushed dinner and get my jammies on but I can’t as I always have to go back out. He doesn’t understand this and says I’m being selfish.
Am I being selfish?

Why can't he walk the fifteen minutes?!

If it is a 15 minute walk, why can’t he walk?

Another one asking why he can't walk?

I'd tell him to fucking walk with that attitude!

He thinks since I drive it’s not a big deal for me to drop him rather than him having to leave earlier

He needs to walk the 15 minutes ffs, or learn to drive.

(Though also - why can't you get in your jammies, have dinner and a glass of wine when you get back at 7:20?)

Why are you doing dinner when you get in?

I think he should share the dinner load too
Does he ever have it ready for you coming home?

I think he should be willing to walk every now again but surely nipping out for 5 mins in an evening doesn't disrupt you that much! You can make tea but not eat it and have your pyjamas on before you take him!

A fifteen minute walk is nothing, he's lazy.

Why can’t he make the dinner?
Why can’t he walk 15 minutes?!

Why can't he get the dinner ready for you sometimes? Is he incapable?

Bet he wakes you up when he gets in as well, knob

a reasonable compromise would be for him to have dinner ready for when you get in and you can drive him. Why are you doing both. Also, it’s not your responsibility to get him to work (or drop him to his pick up point), he’s a grown man.
how long have you been dating and living together?

Are you cooking dinner for both of you or just yourself?

Fuck that shit. Let him walk.

As per everyone, a 15 minute walk is nothing. He is lazy and rude. Please tell he's just a boyfriend you can just jettison.

Have been together 6 years. We eat different foods. I cook for me and my son and oh will shove something in the oven for himself or I will sometimes put it on for him.
I don’t mind now and again like I wouldn’t have him walk in the rain.
Yes I could do all my relaxing after I drop him but sometimes it would be nice to just come in and be home for the night.

If it's a 15 minute walk drive him. In the completely the opposite direction. Entitled prick.

I don’t mind now and again like I wouldn’t have him walk in the rain.

Thank goodness.

It's a well known fact that both adults and children dissolve during a downpour.

It's a 15 min walk and 5 min drive to the train station for us. We very rarely drop the other, it's a perfectly reasonable walk, and good for you!

Also, is it 5 min round trip or 10? Because by the time you've added putting your shoes on etc he's basically saying 15 mins of his time is worth more than 15 mins of yours.

Think about why you want this role model in your son's life.
Your boyfriend doesn't seem to have any respect for you.
Your son is likely to follow suit.

15 minutes ?! That's less than a mile. Lazy sod.
