Just want to preface this: I gave up my car when he got his second vehicle due to no room for it, and because my father co-signed for his second vehicle. Also I can afford my own vehicle no problem, and will be buying one come the new year, I'm just wondering if I am the asshole here or if I am right in this situation.
- my ex and I still live together since he hasn't found a place to live, he wants to save money before he moves out
- I have our son 90% of the time
- I pay my own rent, buy my own groceries, buy all the necessities for our son, and I am fully independent of him other than the car
So basically when my ex and I broke up he said he was moving out. He didn't end up moving out because he said he wants to save money before he does. So him and I came to an agreement that I would use his car in lieu of child support, so he could save money, and I would save money on insurance. He has two vehicles that he is paying monthly payments and insurance on, but can only use one at a time.
On average I only use the vehicle to drive our son to and from daycare (0.5 km a day), swimming lessons once a week (5 km) and grocery shopping once a week (1km) and since June 2019 I have only taken the vehicle for my own personal use about 3 times and less than 10km away. My ex is now saying I can only use the vehicle for "baby related" things which basically includes only dropping him at daycare during the week, and nothing else.
To me this seems extremely unfair as I could easily walk there and collect the 500 dollars a month in child support instead, but he refuses and says that I am acting like a princess by suggesting he pay child support instead. I don't see how I am being a princess when financially this makes no sense!? 500 dollars a month would afford me my own vehicle that I could drive wherever the fuck I want, and I only did it this way so he could save money to move.
So AITA here? Am I missing something?
TL;dr ex thinks I am a princess for thinking his car limitations aren't worth 500 dollars a month
