conflicted, sorry for the PW

If I tell my bff that driving 2 hours (from work to her house) to have lunch/dinner, and then an hour to drive home, is too far and I can't do it today, does that make me super selfish or just mildly selfish? I don't see her often because she lives out of state, but she's in town & staying at her sisters house right now. It's not that I don't want to see her, of course I do... the drive, it's killing me. I hate it. It makes me cranky.

  • If she lives out of state and you don't get to see her very much I would just bite the bullet and go have lunch/dinner with her as planned.  Would you be able to arrange to meet another day before she leaves if you really don't want to go today?

  • Well that's the thing... she leaves again on Thursday and comes back on Saturday. I will see her at my AHR on Sunday, and then she's here for another 3 weeks (1 of which she's spending in Panama with her extended family). So I know we could get together a few more times before she officially goes back home at the end of March.
  • can't she meet you half way or something or does she not have a car to use?  I wouldn't want to drive 3 hours just for lunch...but that's just me.  I don't think that makes you selfish at all...but I might just bite the bullet and do it anyway.  I know you said you could see her again before she goes, and you will see her at your AHR but, it doesn't give you that alone time together.
  • I feel ya, but you know if you go and see her you'll have a blast, right? :)
  • Yeah, I guess I'm just feeling lazy or something. I know I'll have fun, the drive just kills me. And I live in So Cal... I'm used to driving a lot! This drive in particular just grinds me down.
  • I was going to ask if she could meet you somewhere closer. If not, personally I would suck it up.
  • Will you see her any other time while she's in town?  If not I'd say you should probably go.  Would she be willing to meet you halfway?

    I'll definitely see her because she will be here until mid-late March. She has almost 1 whole month off. She doesn't have a car here, and she can only borrow one from her parents/brother if they don't need it.

    If she's going to be here for awhile and you'll see her I'd say its okay to bail tonight.

    I'm just going to suck it up. Like I said, I'm just feeling lazy or something.
