whipped Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Hi guys, just wondering if i have a right to be angry. My partner has gone overseas recently. Instead of getting some me time, I have been given non stop errands to run for her. I have been running errands for her before she has gone overseas so this is not a one off time. I have had to wake up real early to pick up parcels for her, do administrative tasks for her, return borrowed items to friends. Lots of other jobs around her home as well(i live separately) While all this is ok since she is overseas, there are alot of things she can do herself when she returns. Instead, she is placing importance on other people and doesnt care about my time or whether or not I am busy. In addition, when we skype, its never about how was your day, its all business. I am starting to feel like a personal assistant instead of a partner. Do gfs have a right to treat bfs like this? I have already sent her messages and I think a fight is in the horizon. Please provide input. Edited February 6, 2013 by whipped
TaraMaiden Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 "You teach people how to treat you." Establish for yourself the tasks she gives you, which you know 'can wait' Then when she asks you to do them, reply, "It can wait." Why are you finding it so difficult to put your foot down and step from errand boy to Chief Cojones? 3
Treasa Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 If that doesn't work, send her a bill when she gets back. I think Admin Assistants make around $15/hour nowadays? Not sure.
