My bf and I (both 30s) have been dating for three months. He's recently sober and doing well, but still dealing with the consequences of his alcoholism. One of those is not having a car or a license.
It's a little annoying, because he lives a city over. So I have to give him rides. Fortunately my work is nearby, so I'll typically give him a ride to my house or take him from his work to his house. I know he can't help it, but I have been frustrated with the lack of time this gives me. I already work a lot and I find that I spend precious minutes/hours waiting for him to finish up work or do chores around his house. I feel like I don't have much time to myself.
There's a bar down from me that has a really nice deal on apps. The problem is, they close 1.5 hours after I get off of work so I haven't made it since I started dating him since I've usually spent however long waiting for him. Today, I told him I'd really like to go. He said no problem. He has to work in my city tonight, so he needs to get here, but he seemed confident we could do both.
I called him after work to see if he was done, and he said he wasn't but would probably be once I got to his workplace. I parked on the street for awhile, and realized I wasn't going to make it. He called me and said he has a few more things to do, and asked me if I minded waiting. I said I wasn't going to make it anyways so I'd just wait. He got snappy and said "ok enjoy yourself" and hung up on me.
I get I probably sounded a bit annoyed (which I was), but it wasn't a huge deal. I don't think I deserve getting hung up on. A few minutes later, he texted me saying he was done and to enjoy myself again. He went on to tell me I parked in the wrong spot because he wanted me to park by the back where he could speak to me. I'm not sure what difference it makes but in his mind it was a lot I guess.
Idk. I get I shouldn't have been annoyed with him. I know he needs to get here and he's probably frustrated he can't just go himself. However, he's still a grown ass man. I'm tired of changing up my routines to pick up the slack. And I don't think I should be treated passive aggressively for not doing it.
Please wait...
