Imagine living with your partner, but they don’t have a car. Would you be willing to share your car with them?

In this story, one man is in this exact situation, and he is willing to share his car with his girlfriend…at first. But when she arrives late, he changes his mind.

Now, he’s wondering if he’s being too harsh. Let’s read the whole story to decide.

AITA For revoking my GF’s car priviledges

My GF (26F) and I (28M) have been together for about 3 years. We’ve lived together for the past 6 months.

A couple of months ago my GF’s car broke down and the repair estimate was really high. Given that her car was over 10-years old she decided not to repair it and to start saving for a new one.

I agreed with her decision and told her we could make it work with sharing my car until she gets a new one.

They agreed to share the car that weekend.

This past weekend I had to work on Saturday to put the finishing touches on a big presentation for Monday.

When I told my GF about it on Friday night she asked if she could use my car to go see a friend while I was at work.

I told her as long as she drops me off and picks me up when I’m done that was find.

Their plan seemed to work well.

She dropped me off at my office and I told her I would text her when I was finishing up so she can come get me.

She told me that was fine.

It ended up taking my coworkers and I about 3 hours to finish what we had to do. I texted my GF that we were almost done and asked if she could come get me.

She said she would be on her way in a few since she was only 15 minutes or so away.

But she didn’t get there as quickly as she said she would.

As we were locking up the office, my coworkers asked if I needed a ride and I told them my GF was on her way to get me so they left to go home.

30 minutes pass and my GF isn’t there yet so I text again to see where she’s at.

She doesn’t respond so I figure she’s driving.

45 minutes and she’s still not there or answering my text so I give her a call and no answer.

She finally showed up.

At this point I’m getting pretty frustrated.

Finally, over an hour after she responded to my first text, she pulls into the parking lot.

She immediately starts apologizing and making excuses for why she was so late. She said her friend is going through a hard time and they got caught up talking and she lost track of time.

I told her that she could have told me that when I texted her and I could have gotten a ride with my coworker. Or, she could have responded to my text or answered my call so I wasn’t sitting there wondering what was going on.

She just kept repeating that she lost track of time and was sorry.

He made new rules about sharing the car.

I told her that I think it’s pretty messed up that she was using my car and agreed to pick me up and dropped the ball so badly.

I told her that until she gets her own car she doesn’t get to use mine for anything other than work. No using my car to go get her nails or hair done, no taking my car to see friends, etc. If she wants to do that stuff she has to use the bus or Uber.

She told me I am overreacting and that it was just one time and that her friend really needed someone to talk to. She said she already has plans for this coming week that she needs the car for.

And I told her too bad.

He refuses to back down.

She told me I am being a jerk and that I wasn’t even waiting that long.

She has asked a couple times to take the car since then and I’ve refused to give her the keys.

Now she’s mad at me for not giving in.

Did he overreact, or is he right to limit her use of his car?

Let’s see what Reddit thinks.

This person thinks it’s simple.

He probably was wondering if she was okay.

It is hard to lose track of time that much.

Another person urges him to stand his ground.

Here’s a vote for reconsidering the relationship.

Sharing a car doesn’t seem to be working out very well!
