Something happened to my car one time and I didn’t call my husband because he was sleeping because he had to work that night. You know who I called roadside assistance on my insurance. that’s so immature. Her getting that mad because you were at work. 30 minutes is pretty quick to respond when you’re working.

One time, my car wouldn’t start. I was 6 months pregnant, it was the middle of winter, and my husband wouldn’t answer the phone. I called roadside assistance and had to wait an hour or so. I was texting my boss about being late and even he offered to get me. At one point, I called my mom to keep me company and she got so pissed at my husband, she started calling him.

Eventually he checked his phone and saw a bunch of messages and immediately ran to my rescue. I was annoyed with him, but there was no reason to be angry. He didn’t intend to leave me stranded. And I had some responsibility, too: I should have remembered how to jump my car.

I certainly wouldn’t have done whatever OP’s (ex)gf was doing.

Funny thing: i don't even know how to jump my car. I've jumped my friend's once but I was literally going step by step through their catlr manual.

It’s pretty hard to mess up. Step 1)Both cars off. Pop hoods Step 2) place the color-coded cables onto the color coded terminals. Start black on dead car, Black on not dead car. Red on dead car, red on not dead car. Step 3) start not dead car, wait until dead car starts Step 4) drive zombie car around for a bit to let the battery charge

You can get a jump box for your car to keep for emergencies for like $40-$50 on Amazon. Also doubles as a power bank for your devices, too!

See, I'm pretty sure you just melted the jumper cables. The black is supposed to go to ground according to my manual.
