I have a friend who lives 25 min away and she doesn’t drive. (Pre Covid), we would often hang out average 12+ times a month, maybe more. I always had to go there, pick her up, drive wherever we were headed, drive her home and then drive myself home. It’s been 4 yrs of this and I’ve been starting to get a huge resentment towards her bc of this. And she doesn’t want to take uber bc it’s too expensive.. (it’s about $24 1 way for her to take Uber to my house).
She’s told me for 3 yrs that she was going to get her license but she never does. I’ve found a few very good driving schools for her too.
On Thursday, she asked if we could go hiking Sunday bc she was free. So, Saturday evening, I spent about 45 min trying to find an easier hike for her that was somewhat near her so I wouldn’t have to do extra driving. I txt her about it & she agreed. Sunday came, she called me in the morning stating she can only be out hiking about an hour bc of a paper that was due at midnight on Sunday.... so we canceled bc there’s no point in driving all that distance to maybe ‘hike’ 20 min.
I even worked out how much it’d cost her to have a car vs how much she’s spending on Uber yearly. Avg price she’s spending on Uber yearly is $7500. If she had a car, possible avg price she’d be spending on it, is $3500.
idk what to do. I like her as a friend. I enjoy hanging out with her but I’m overly annoyed bc she doesn’t want any give/take, or she’ll say, I’ll come to you but I’ll need you to take me home... it costs me money too and she makes more money then I do. (Right now I’m not working).
The 1 time I wanted to go hiking near me, I told her to meet at my house by 12... she couldn’t get an Uber til 2pm that day. She made an excuse but if she can always make it to work on time, then why can’t she make it to my house on time?
Sorry for ranting. I’m annoyed and I don’t know how to properly handle this situation or what to say to her. I’ve prayed about it but..
What should I do?
