Should I break a promise I made after a break up?

Tagged as: Big Questions, Breaking up<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (30 January 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 30 January 2008)
A male South Africa age 41-50, *onfusedAndRegretful writes:

I recently broke up with my girlfriend of four years for a number of reasons. Over the past few weeks we have been unravelling our relationship, while she prepares to leave the country for up to 2 years in a month or two.

I own the car, but she used it more often, as she is an au pair. In order to keep her job, i have let her use it until she leaves in country.

I have accepted a new job in a different city, so will need the car. How can i break the promise i made to let her use it? We both need it and have no real options.

Thank you in advance.

I must be missing something, let me get this straight. YOU own the car that SHE to use while the two of you were TOGETHER. Now you're NOT together and SHE still wants to utilize something that belongs to YOU? Sounds to me like that answer is right in front of your face and you're feeling too guilty to stick to it.

O Connor agony auntyou are not together anymore, you own the car, she is leaving in a few months. why should you feel obliged to let her use your car and jeopardise your career? if she cares for you she should understand that you need this for your career, she doesnt as much as you, she is leaving!! tell her that while you understand that you made a promise to her but that this job is important to you. she should understand. if she doesnt, its your car, not hers!
