My boyfriend totaled his motorcycle - my first reaction was to be angry? |
My boyfriend (7 years) totaled his motorcycle today. My first reaction was to be angry. It wasn't his fault, but I feel like things like this always happen to him. He got scraped/scratched/cut up pretty bad - could of been fatal if he didn't have on his helmet. I didn't sympathize with him ---- I instead acted pissed. Now I feel bad ---- but I am still angry because he has spent almost $10,000 on a bike that is ruined & is now permanently in the junkyard (no, it will not be fixed/covered by insurance.) Plus, he still has to finish paying $2,000 or so off on it! Anyways, I am kind of torn between the anger I have over his irresponsibility & wanting to express thanks that he is still alive!!! I feel like I kind of acted like a B****. But then again, I kind of feel like I didn't, because he gets into situations like this where he is throwing money away, more than he should. Any thoughts? I can understand how you feel. My boyfriend of three years spent $2000 on a custom, top-of-the line PC a couple of years ago, and he assured me that it was a good investment because he thought that it would last for several years. Now we are trying to save money to move in together (I just finished school and got a job), and he tells me that he needs to sell the PC...for only $800...so he can by a Mac. I'm hurt because now he wants to put several hundred dollars into a new "investment". I feel totally angry at him, but at the same time the reason I am angry is b/c I want to live with him soon. As for your situation, I think you should let your boyfriend know that you are releaved and happy that he is allright, but try to talk about his reckless spending so that he can understand why you're so upset in the first place. Let him know you want him to be more responsible, but at the same time remind him you love him, that way it won't seem like you are nagging. Good luck. He is your boyfriend not your husband. He can spend his money on whatever he wants - even if you think it's foolish. And your first concern should have been for him. if it wasn't his fault why is his bike not covered. as for your actions explain yourself your first concern should of been for him espeacially if you love him. Things although expensive, can replaced but he couldnt and you should think about that. Unless you guys live together or your saving money together for something he can do what he wants with his money. If you live together he needs to get a safer less expensive hobby. I think it would bother me more about the dangerous aspect of his bike riding. u're only mad cause u're worried...talk to him and ask him to drive a normal car instead You sound like you don't love him if you are thinking about the money rather than him. |
