AITA for selling my car and not talking to my GF about it?
My (29m) girlfriend (29f) and I have been living together for almost a year.
I’m in the process of starting a new job. With this job, I get a company vehicle. Before I accepted the offer, I was talking to my GF about the company car and I mentioned instead of selling my vehicle, I’d let her use it in the winter.
Her car is pretty bad in snow, even with snow tires on the car. Also, she’s been having issues with it starting to stall while she’s driving, especially when it gets really cold.
Her car is paid off and between bills we split and her student loans, she can’t afford a new car, so I figured this would save her the headache and we could talk about a newer car for her next year.
After I accepted my offer, I looked to see what my car was worth and it’s a lot more than I was thinking. I personally could really use that money, so I decided I would sell my car now while it’s still worth that amount.
I told my girlfriend when she got home from work and she lost her mind. She asked what she’s supposed to do in the winter now, so I told her what the car is worth and asked if she’d want to buy it from me, and that just pissed her off even more.
I personally think she’s being selfish. It’s my car. I even offered to let her buy it from me, but that wasn’t good enough for her. But, I need to know, AITA?
Edit: so I am the AH, but it is what it is. I’m still selling the car. My gf will just get over it like she has with our other fights.
