not at all. it’s selfish for someone to correct you to go thru that trauma just because they have a death wish. they don’t realize the trauma starts the day they get it not the day they die. it’s not worth staying up late wondering if that night will be the night. so no you are in no way and never will be the asshole.

Nope. You have boundaries and if he doesn’t respect it I’m sure you know how to go about the situation. God bless❤️

You’re not an asshole for being worried and upset about it but it is a little selfish. I would hope that if this is what he wants he knows and understands the risks and is prepared to take all the proper safety precautions but in the end it’s his life. You’re nta if you break up with him tho that’s intense potential trauma and if you don’t want to risk that that’s ok

Yes. You are, controlling someone else because of your irrational fears of accidents is insane. More people die in cars a month in the U.S. than motorcycles in 2 years. You should seek help, and this guy should run, if you’re already this controlling he’s in for a ride…. And not a fun one on a motorcycle 🏍️

… your advice is for her to leave him. yet your calling her the asshole and controlling for wanting to leave him?? there’s nothing controlling abt removing yourself from a situation if you don’t want to be apart of it. what’s controlling is not being able to accept that.

She’s not leaving him. She’s saying…. She’s telling him she will break up with him if he does something…. Because of an irrational fear. She sees a future with him. She’s clearly saying it to impose her irrationality onto someone else. If I said I’m going to TELL someone I’m going to break up with them because they buy a certain car…. That’s crazy, and controlling.

well one it’s not an irrational fear. an irrational fear would be the fear of holes, something that is not rational… motorcycle accidents happen literally every day and the death risk will always be higher than getting in an accident in a car. if she doesn’t want to go through the pain of worrying everyday and then having it come true… she has that right. and again your advice to avoid this was for her to leave anyways… backwards asl.

My advice to her was to seek help. To him was to run from the control. Hope that clears that up. Being afraid someone will get into an accident is crazy! And telling someone they can’t buy a motorcycle because you’re concerned is a you problem. 😵‍💫

she didn’t say he couldn’t. she set up a clear boundary that if he did she wouldn’t be comfortable with that and would have to leave. that’s not control. that’s boundaries. if you can’t respect that then that’s on you. and again. if he “ran” because she doesn’t agree with it. how is it any different from her leaving because she doesn’t agree with it. immaturity at its finest folks.
