[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are willing to drive 45 minutes to see her regularly this seems like a friendship you value.

If you don't want to run errands with her, just let her know, I need to get home right away, I don't have time for errands.

I will be honest, it seems a bit petty on your part (since you are willing to drive a good distance just to pick her up), but I also think this is something you could easily put an end to without hurting her feelings.[/quote]

That's kind of the whole point though I am already kind of doing her a favor by driving 45 minutes and picking her up that on top of that that takes up time to take her on an errand and have to sit and wait in my car. How is that petty to not want to have to waste my day and my time that is also important to me carting other people around on errands? I just don't get how that's my responsibility TBH.

To answer some of the other questions I do really value out friendship and like I said I get a lot out of the friendship because my friend is really a good person and does reciprocate by asking about my life as well and she is a sweet person.

We used to work together and that's how we met. Now we work at different jobs but I still work in the city where I used to live when I lived by my friend.

We both get off at 4 so I can just pick her up from her job and then go grab dinner together. I just want to be clear and not paint a picture that's not accurate that I'm not always driving 45 minutes just to see my friend. Occasionally we go out on the weekends and in that case I do drive 35 minutes to see her and pick her up.

I just want to set stronger boundaries because I feel like saying "no" to someone or having limits shouldn't make someone a bad friend. [/quote]
