to want to sit in the front seat of my own car?

[beaniesteve]

I have a car, my Boyfriend does not. We've moved in with eachother and he's on the insurance. Quite often we give his brother (Who I like) lifts to meals out. Last night as we pulled up at his brother's flat my Boyfriend said 'get in the back then' (he was driving) his brother then got in the front and they proceeded to have a long conversation which they didn't include me in.

Because it's my car I am slightly put out that there's an assumption that I will vacate the passenger seat and sit in the back.

Erm... say no.

Yanbu. Tell him to sod off!

Next time he does it say no. My car. My seats.
Or you could drive then you won't be shifted.
Or you could take a friend with you and sit in the back giggling louder than they are talking

In the past I have sometimes got into the back, specially when I know they have something to discuss. Other times I have stayed put. Last night was the first time he actually told me to get in the back. Maybe I am making a bit too much of a big deal about it because of the way he 'asked'.

I would have said no, I'll drive you get in the back.

I was driving back, we'd agreed it earlier. Hrrmmph. Maybe I should stop being so childish - a seat's a seat

You shouldn't be told where to sit in your own car though. If you were already in the front seat, his brother should have got in the back.

It's one thing to be asked. It's another to be told. Doesn't matter what it's about - car seat, washing up, childcare, paying bills - adults do not tell each other what to do, they discuss it or ask nicely. It was rude and disrespectful and YANBU to be annoyed about it.

It is the being 'told' that would worry me, I mean if he asked would you mind that would be different. If dp told me to get into the back of my own car he would be greeted with howls of mirth tbh. Why did you do what he said?

right, If he does it again I'll give him a slap .

Cheeky thing! I would NOT get in the back of my own car to let another adult sit in the front except for older relatives who may struggle with leg room. Next time tell him to get a taxi!

I'm not sure why I did it. Weirdly as we were driving up I said to myself 'I'm staying in the front' but when he said it (He did say it in a comical way) I just went with it but then was a bit pissed off because I felt so excluded.

On the other hand when I am going somewhere with my sister and him in my sister's car he always sits in the back or if his brother is with his girlfriend then they will sit in the back and I'll stay in the front.

I think I have managed to convince myself that I am being a bit Unreasonable

yanbu!

The only time I've sat in the back of mine was when I was looking for the source of annoying rattle! So I asked DH to drive my car while I tracked it down.
YANBU and your bf is very cheeky!
