flowergirl Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Good afternoon, everyone. Well, on to my story. My boyfriend got irritated with me this morning because I awakened him to drive me to work because I was running late. I had missed the bus, and I didn't want to be late two days in a row. I stayed over at his house, and went to sleep late, so I overslept. I work for my mother, and she's controlling and particular about time, so I was scared she'd be mad at me for being 5-10 minutes late two days in a row. My boyfriend has a fairly casual outlook on life, so he really can't understand why it's a big deal to be 10 minutes two days in a row, He says I worry too much about pleasing my mother, and although that's true to some extent, I don't see how that relates to this instance, and I feel it's very immature to be so blase about such a vital issue. I love him to pieces because he's such a fantastic person, but I'm having real trouble getting past this. What do you guys think?
Touche Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 I think you should stop relying on him to get you to work. It's up to YOU to catch the bus on time. It's not important whether he understands why that's important to you. If it's important to you, then he should just accept that. It sounds to me though that he was more irritated with being inconvenienced by you asking him to drive you than anything else. Problem is easily solved: Make the bus and don't ever ask him to drive you. I think you'll see that he won't be irritated anymore.
