After Buying A Car, His Girlfriend Started Complaining That He Was Using It Most Days Without Offering It To Her, So He Is Upset Because He Did Offer And He’s The One Paying For It
by Michael Levanduski
Having one car that is used by two people can be difficult, but as long as both parties communicate, it can work out well.
What would you do if you bought and paid for a car, but then months later your girlfriend complained that you drove it all the time without asking if she needed it.
That is the situation the boyfriend in this story is in, and he feels like she is painting him in a bad light about it.
Check it out.
AITA for using the car I payed for the most
I fulfilled a long-time dream last June and bought my dream car.
My idea was that my girlfriend and I would share the car.
That’s reasonable.
At the time, she was still paying off debts, so I bought the car and fully covered the installment payments.
That was never a problem for me.
I also need the car for work, not just for commuting.
That is very generous.
From the beginning, my approach was to offer her the car multiple times so she could use it for her commute while I took public transport to work.
Most of the time, she declined and took the train instead, so naturally, I used the car.
After a few months, I got tired of constantly offering it to her, so I just started using it regularly for my daily needs.
It’s not that she never used the car—just rarely for her commute.
He had been communicating it seems.
Now, to today’s argument with my girlfriend: She accused me of not communicating with her when I bought the car, saying it seems like I intended to use it for myself from the start.
She thinks we should have thought through the decision more carefully together.
I tried to explain to her that I had offered multiple times to figure out a way to share the car, but she usually ended up taking the train anyway.
I now feel unfairly portrayed by her, especially since, to this day, she has contributed only 600 out of the total 27,000.
AITA?
He bought the car, he can use it however he wants, and it does seem that she is portraying him unfairly.
Let’s see what the people in the comments have to say about it.
This person says she is being ridiculous.
She really has nothing to complain about.
She might be upset about something else entirely.
Communication is key when it comes to finances.
This person says to get her off the title.
She just wants something to complain about.
People like that are exhausting.
