[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that you are still stewing about this a month later tells me you know in your gut that you should have made a different choice. Maybe you rationalized away letting her stay and that pacified you at the time, but your consciousness has a funny way of bringing up old wounds with a new clarity.

Listen, you said no. Move on. 
If a friend called me with the same situation I wouldn't hesitate because you know what, they NEVER ask these things. Which means if they did, it was really important or few other options.  There is no reason to believe this one night would be a regular occurrence, there is no reason to believe this girl would think she was able to do this all the time. She likely didn't even have a say and her parents probably proactively tried to find an alternative to her driving home in bad weather. She may not have the money for a motel room. Basically spending her work shift money on a crappy room. Yeah, she COULD do that and likely did, but if there was a better way (you) why not ask? 
Again, you said no. Please just don't come back here and b!tch and moan when someone doesn't stop to help you with a flat tire, or help out your kid if needed. Own that you feel every man for themselves and live accordingly. [/quote]
She was able to stay at another person's home. She did not get a hotel room.[/quote]

Yes. Another person was kind. [/quote]
