biermadchen Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 I'm worried that I've either offended my boyfriend, or asked for too much. I had a car accident and he has been wonderful and really supportive. The thing is, he took care of me the first couple of nights and really went all out to make sure I was ok. After a couple of days, it felt like I should try to handle the rest on my own and let him get back to his regular schedule. So I thanked him and let him know what I would be doing and basically tried to let him know how much I appreciated all his help. Well, it now turns out I need a ride to an appointment, and I kind of don't have anyone else to ask. I feel terrible burdening him with a request for yet another favor, and I know it's probably a huge inconvenience for him. So, when I asked him (in an email), I kind of made a big deal about it where you could tell how embarrassed I was to ask, and, so now he hasn't really answered me. So, I'm wondering if I maybe asked for too much, or if I offended him by thinking he wouldn't want to do it. As you can probably tell, I'm very confused right now (not to mention I still need a ride)...
Ami1uwant Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 I dont think you did. In telling him you wanted to do it yourself may have hurt his feelings. How did you ask him?
Author biermadchen Posted December 11, 2012 Author Posted December 11, 2012 I asked him in a very long-winded silly email where I overexplained and kind of made it seem like I felt I was asking him for half his liver and that I would understand if he couldn't do it. Then I tried to explain even further that it wasn't that I didn't want to ride with him, just that I felt bad asking for another faver after he'd already done so much.
Ami1uwant Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 that it--you got all long winded. if you were short and to the point you would have been fine.
