Edit for info: -We live in Southwest Ontario, Canada. Heās been driving for 8 years, his car has winter tires and is in good working condition.
-If I wanted to be put on as a secondary driver Iād have to talk to his dad about it and Iām quite shy when it comes to that
-I work 9-6 as the closer of my classroom at a daycare, no choice to call in due to weather
-The weather apps said āsnowfall 5-15 cmā which yes is significant but to Ontario residents is not any indication of needing alternate travel plans
-the storm started at 3pm with 2-4cm per hour and 70-80km/hr winds
-I didnāt dress more weather appropriately because when I left the house at 7am all I knew was that it was going to snow but it was Monday and heād be there to get me
-He doesnāt get on his game until 10 or 11, after weāve eaten dinner, watched some tv and spent time together.
-Thanks for the relationship advice, but if I wanted it I wouldāve posted on r/relationshipadvice
-His ultimate reason for not coming to get me was safety and not wrecking car because we need it to move in 2 weeks, which leads to the fact that weāre moving to a MUCH closer (8 bus stops) apartment soon and none of this will matter
I didnāt expect this to blow up like this and was really just posting to get my feels out so I didnāt lash out at him because I can see his POV too
Yesterday afternoon/evening we got hit with a wicked storm. Near zero visibility, plows couldnāt get roads cleared fast enough, 20 minute commutes were taking over an hour.
I have a license but no car, my bf has both. We live together. He doesnāt work (rich dad), just sleeps until 3-4pm and plays video games all night after I go to bed. My work is a 20-25 minute drive, mostly highway. We have an agreement that he picks me up from work on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I take the bus every morning and I bus home on Tuesdays and Thursdays. When I bus home he has dinner ready for me (just something frozen cooked in the oven). Itās 3 different bus lines, takes about 90 minutes. Uber/cab is between $40 and $60.
Iām not allowed my phone while Iām at work, so I get off at 5:30 to a bunch of texts from him about how Maps is estimating 51 mins for him to get to me and how awful it is out there so he isnāt going to come. I was annoyed, but semi-understanding. He seemed apologetic and kept saying āI hope you donāt hate meā.
I stood in blizzard conditions from 5:45 until 6:20 waiting for my first bus (scheduled to be there at 5:58). My legs were numb and covered in ice pellets (which then melted on the heated bus and made me soaking wet). With each connection I grew more and more irritated until I was nothing short of livid. For my last connection I was in the cold from 7:20 to 8:00. I didnāt get home until 8:30. I ran myself a bubble bath, ate leftover pasta while in the bath and then went to bed. It took everything in me to not lose my shit on him for leaving me to commute in a storm. Even this morning as I left for work and he was snuggled up in bed I had to bite my tongue.
Am I the asshole?
Sooo when there is a massive blizzard here (Calgary, Canada, aka winter frozen wasteland), every single outlet, Environment Canada, etc, say to stay off the roads unless you are necessary traffic.
Your boyfriend driving an hour in a blizzard on a highway with little visibility is NOT a necessity.
Does it suck that you had to be cold and wait for transit? Yes
Does it make him an asshole for not wanting to drive in those conditions and refusing to add another vehicle to the deadly mix of those already on the road? Absolutely not
The fact your last statement was about you being pissy that you had to get up and go out while he was warm in bed just proves that you have inappropriate animosity towards him because his life seems to be easier than yours.
If you want to travel in a vehicle so you don't have to be cold taking transit, buy your own vehicle and stop relying on him.
Definitely YTA here.
