Username37 Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Okay So I'm back together with this girl who broke up with me a few months back. I moved on, she pined, and eventually we got back. Forward to today. My friend is having this awesome kickback and he invited my girlfriend and I. There will be drinks and all of that so it might get crazy and he's allowing me to sleep over. My girlfriends mom wont let her drive so she wants me to pick her up. I agreed to pick her up HOWEVER since I'll probably be drinking (don't get drunk though) I feel uncomfortable driving her back if I will have alcohol in my system. One of her good friends will be there and I suggested that she can ask her for a ride since I know she probably won't stay over. She gets mad at me because I feel comfortable letting my girlfriend get a ride from someone else. Then she gets on my case because we barely hangout (I saw her a week ago, and this week I've been hanging with my family). Am I a dick for not giving her a ride home?
mortensorchid Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Well, being that this is a specialized circumstance, I don't think you are being overly cautious or self centered to not want to drive her home if you know you are going to be drinking. I've known plenty of people who got into drinking and driving accidents, some even killed, and they didn't listen. You're being safe not sorry, so yes it's ok to do this.

Sounds like you're being responsible by not driving after drinking. Maybe you should give her a ride home a little earlier prior to having any drinks at the party.Then again, you can only please half of the people half of the time.
Author Username37 Posted July 20, 2012 Author Posted July 20, 2012 Well, being that this is a specialized circumstance, I don't think you are being overly cautious or self centered to not want to drive her home if you know you are going to be drinking. I've known plenty of people who got into drinking and driving accidents, some even killed, and they didn't listen. You're being safe not sorry, so yes it's ok to do this. I know a fair amount of people also. I don't want to bring that pain to those close to me. Driving while intoxicated is no joke. A) you can lose your license and get arrested and is a criminal offense in some states B) you can potentially get into a serious accident and hurt yourself, your girlfriend and other people. I don' think you are being totally unreasonable wanting to have a good time and you are being responsible not wanting to drive. Why did she break up with you to begin with? We broke up because we had a communication problem. I go to college away from home and she stays at home from college. I had a life in college and did some awesome stuff and she had problems at home and it was to the point where I couldn't do anything and constantly listen to her bitch about people from home and from high school. She eventually snapped at me because I forgot to text/call her the following morning because I was on my way to work on a film. She then broke up with me after not talking to me for a week and I told her that she suffocated me and didn't let me have a life in college (something I told her we should both have). She's not completely to blame though. I was really bad at texting, skyping etc. but its because I had two tough semesters and I wanted to do good.
funlady Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 If your GF's mom doesn't want her to drive why doesn't she pick her daughter up at the party then?
Author Username37 Posted July 20, 2012 Author Posted July 20, 2012 If your GF's mom doesn't want her to drive why doesn't she pick her daughter up at the party then? It's kind of a down low thing. The mom would get angry at all of us if we were drinking (underage xD) UPDATE: She forgot that there was alcohol at the party. She's not angry at me anymore *facepalm*
Author Username37 Posted July 20, 2012 Author Posted July 20, 2012 Communication problem persists. How old is this GF? We're both 19. Upcoming sophomores in college.
