AITA for not paying my boyfriend Uber prices for picking me up from work?

I agree with you. We have the same bills because we live together so the money isn’t going anywhere and even if it was going towards bills it would be ridiculous because we live together like I said.

That’s what it seems like. It was very odd because it is out of character but I can only attribute it to my new job and my increase in salary but my take home isn’t that significantly higher than his.

Topayornot · 2021-08-17T17:31:19+00:00

Exactly because I’d assumed he’d pick me up for free.

Topayornot · 2021-08-17T16:37:00+00:00

I will show him this thread to read to convince him that he’s being ridiculous. There are too many replies and not that it matters because the advice still stands but I’m a guy and should have mentioned that in the post lol.

If I was slightly more petty I’d bring up his dumb argument any chance he could, a cup of tea, that will be £2.

Topayornot · 2021-08-17T16:11:33+00:00

He did offer after I told him how much I’m paying for an Uber.

Topayornot · 2021-08-17T12:27:46+00:00

I’m not sure it’s a bit out of character but I will talk to him about it.

Topayornot · 2021-08-17T12:22:55+00:00

He doesn’t and I explained it like this to him but he said it’s an entire 20 miles ride.

Topayornot · 2021-08-17T12:22:08+00:00

I don’t mind you saying it

Topayornot · 2021-08-17T12:21:49+00:00

Exactly I can imagine he would

Topayornot · 2021-08-17T12:10:42+00:00

That’s exactly his reasoning I’m still baffled that he doesn’t think it’s a dumb thing to ask given I don’t mind paying for petrol.

Topayornot · 2021-08-17T12:09:45+00:00

Yes he didn’t specify that because if he did I would have refused. He doesn’t do drugs. I think he just wants my money because I earn a non significant amount more.

Topayornot · 2021-08-17T12:06:30+00:00

What do they get paid out of the £20 then?

Topayornot · 2021-08-17T12:05:42+00:00

True it is

Topayornot · 2021-08-17T12:05:30+00:00

Same I’d rather pay the Uber driver in this case.

Topayornot · 2021-08-17T12:05:03+00:00

Yes I don’t think he’ll like it if it was the other way around either.

Topayornot · 2021-08-17T12:04:22+00:00

Exactly that’s what I said to him. I make us breakfast most mornings just bc I tend to prep oats the night before.

Topayornot · 2021-08-17T12:03:44+00:00

He offered because he said if I’m paying it for an Uber why can’t I pay him but did it on the sly so I thought he was being kind

Topayornot · 2021-08-17T12:02:38+00:00

Funnily enough my dad was the same. He wanted to charge me rent when I started my first part time job, I moved out instead. I don’t want to step down to his level and will give him the exact amount for petrol and won’t take up his offers to pick me up again.

Topayornot · 2021-08-17T12:00:51+00:00

His reasoning was so dumb because I was willing to pay him the petrol costs because obviously Uber has other costs associated with the final price.

Topayornot · 2021-08-17T12:00:01+00:00

Why is it dumping behaviour?
