To not give DH a lift

[Kelliesmile]

Sorry for the long post...

DH quit his job before Xmas and has only just started to seek work as he says he is now bored! Nothing to do with the fact I have been picking up overtime and doing 50+ hours a week for the last 2 months to just keep the house going.

He has been offered work local to us, within walking distance but has also been offered work with travelling distance (a little more pay than the local jobs, but once travel has been deducted he will only be about £50 a month better off)
Hes taken the job involving travel instead of one in our own town!

So here is the issue, DH does not drive and he has asked me if I could take him and fetch him all next week as I'm off on annual leave. I said that it's a bit unfair to ask me that as I have worked non stop the last couple of months and I really need a rest as I'm exhausted.

We have looked at public transport and he would need to catch 2 busses both taking 20 minutes each but he's says that's "stupid" when I'm going to be at home doing nothing.

This jobs starts at 7am so I would therefore need to get up at 6am ish, that is earlier than the time I get up for my own job!

Ive said to take the job local but hes says no cause its less money (£50 a month)

Hes now ignoring me and I'm now feeling bad for wanting a lie in on my weeks annual leave.
AIBU

What a total prick.
No I wouldn't be taking him, he chose the job, he can get himself there.

No, he is a really selfish man. He's stupid too as he hasn't thought this through. I would tell him he can sulk on his own money but not on yours. Hope you haven't got a joint account. No way would I give him a lift.

I would probably pick mine up if I was not doing anything else but I definitely wouldn't be getting up earlier then normal for my whole week of annual leave. He wouldn't expect it though. The reason for his choosing the further away job isn't too clear, is it just money or is is conditions/progression/better company too? If so then it's a justified choice so I would help where I could with travel.

Why did he quit his last job? Agree with PP that he has taken the far away job because he doesn’t want to work. He wants to make it your problem by making you drive him there and back so you eventually say “no, quit this job”. Tell him to get to fuck.

He really does see you as his skivvy doesn't he? Have you done the time analogy with him? That hour and twenty minute commute, so just over 26 hours a month for an extra £50, means that he values his time for less than £1.50 an hour.

Tell him to get a pushbike.
