Mr.P Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) Hi all, My girlfriend and I have been together for about 5 months (with a traumatic week long break up but I believe we're now stronger for it) and we've just hit a stumbling block over communication. The last 2 days have been pretty hard on both us from a work point of view, yesterday I had to sit a test taking about 4 hrs of the day, with a 4 hr drive either side to get there and back. This was after we spent the night together after a party and I took her back home early yesterday morning on my way. She had a bad day yesterday with her work and she asked me to come and see her on my way back. I told her I wasn't going to be back until 11pm and I was going to be up at 4am to drive to work, so would need to go home straight to bed. I was so tired driving home already, just had 2 late nights with early starts and I was about to have 2 more. She seemed ok about it and even after i finished work today she asked me to come round (she lives an hour away). I again said no cos I was still too tired and had another early start. I told her I'd fallen asleep at the wheel and ran right through a red light at a busy junction on Saturday and it really scared me about driving whilst tired. (true story) I spoke to her and she was really upset and in tears over the fact that she felt I just wasn't trying, like she meant nothing to me. She was upset and unwell and she'd drop everything to come and see me if I needed her (she would) but said that I wouldn't do the same for her when she needs me (untrue!). I just don't want to risk my life or the lives of others whilst I'm struggling to stay awake, but she can't accept this? Am I being unreasonable? We both want this to work but she's felt very lonely the last couple of days, and whilst I'm away at work she's going to carry on being lonely without me. I don't know what to do really :S Edited November 22, 2010 by Mr.P
