Accountability matters in relationships, especially when you know you’ve let your partner down.

One girlfriend missed her boyfriend’s long-planned comedy show after oversleeping, but instead of owning up to her mistake, she blamed him for not bailing her out.

AITA for refusing to buy my girlfriend’s train ticket after she missed my show

I’m 27M and my girlfriend, 25F, came to support me at a small comedy night I was hosting.

She said she’d book an early train so she’d arrive on time.

Unfortunately, that’s not what happened.

She messaged me two hours before the show saying she overslept and missed her train.

She asked me to cover a last-minute high-speed ticket so she could still make it.

But when he pushed back, it only made her mood worse.

I explained that this was her choice and that I already paid for the venue and travel costs. I offered to pick her up later, but I refused to buy the expensive ticket.

She turned up after the show, upset that I didn’t help. Now she says I’m selfish and ruined her evening.

His circle seems to think he did the right thing.

My friends say I was right to stick up for myself.

AITA?

Even when his girlfriend messes up, she still expects him to pick up the slack.

What did Reddit have to say?

This user agrees his girlfriend should take some accountability for her actions.

An evening was ruined, but this user didn’t buy that it was hers.

It sounds like this girlfriend is pretty comfortable dodging accountability.

This commenter has some wise words of advice.

Make no mistake: Missing the event was her fault, and expecting him to cover the cost was just plain unfair.

It’s about time she points the finger back at herself.
