Am I being too sensitive or unreasonable?

Re: Am I being too sensitive or unreasonable?

@CoughCough

Did your close person challenge your decision about not driving?

Yes…when she first asked me why I don’t drive, I gave her my reasons–which I thought were pretty valid. But after a while she just says u just always have excuses and make things complicated. She lives in the suburbs so she has to drive everywhere, and I get that…I’ve been living in the city all my life and haven’t had a need to drive until the last few years, so my needs were different. thats all.

Sorry but if you are unwilling to live in the real world and drive, then its no ones responsibility to be your chauffeur.

If you cant ask your husband, why do you think it okay to ask a friend? It doesnt matter if she is going to the same place as you, its not her job or responsibility to give you a ride.

You make it sound like she has driven you places before, and she has agreed to give you a ride this time, so I dont understand what your problem is? If she is irritable, she has every right to be because you cant do something so elementary and you are placing you and your husbands responsibility on her.

Just learn how to drive and stop asking people for rides, and get over yourself.

Never anywhere in this thread I said or imply that I consider anyone my chaffeur.
Like I said, but you clearly missed or ignored, I don’t ask for this favor often. Only with very close people, and maybe 2-3 times in a year. I hardly think asking sometimes makes one dependent/freeloader/whatever you wanna call it.
