I am newly pregnant and constantly dealing with nausea and exhaustion. A few nights ago, I went to an event to support a friend (let’s call her Rachel). Another friend, Brianna, who was also at the event, accidentally dropped her car keys in my car. I left the event early around 7pm because I wasn’t feeling well. Rachel, Brianna, and the others stayed to drink and enjoy themselves.

I live about 35 minutes away from the event. Around 9pm, Brianna realized she dropped her keys in my car. By then, I was home, nauseous, and already in bed ready to sleep. My husband was also asleep as he wakes up at 6am for work. When Brianna called, I made sure she was safe and had a ride and got up to place the keys under the doormat.

Before coming to get them, they asked me to drive halfway or for my husband to because the drive was far. I declined. I felt sick and exhausted, and I wasn’t going to wake my sleeping husband.

Important detail: Rachel had her own car, and she was the one driving Brianna to go pick up the keys. They were not stranded.

They ended up coming to my house anyway, but when they picked up the keys, Rachel’s sister aggressively yelled into my doorbell camera, calling me a “really shitty friend” and saying “You and your husband need to reevaluate.”

No one ever communicated to me beforehand that they were upset. No call. No text. Nothing. Just that doorbell message. I reached out to Rachel the next day to talk, and she responded that she was too busy to have the talk and that she didn’t have the capacity to explain to me a “clear issue.” She still hasn’t spoken to me since.

At the event, I communicated clearly that I didn’t feel well. But now I’m being painted as lazy and selfish. I am torn and trying to understand if what I did truly was selfish.

So, Reddit, AITA for not meeting them halfway?
