This happened a few months ago when most of the snow had melted, but there was still black ice outside that people had to watch out for. She has a 70-pound dog that barks constantly, and part of the barking usually means he needs to go outside. I had already taken the dog out about 90 minutes earlier when my girlfriend told me to take him out again. Because of her injury, taking care of the dog mostly falls on me. I'm essentially her caretaker.

I told her the dog was probably fine since he had just been outside, but she pressured me to take him out again anyway. While I was outside, I slipped on black ice that I couldn’t see because it was dark out, and I’m sure the dog pulling me didn’t help. I ended up with a concussion, a minor contusion to my L5-S1 disc, and now I’m dealing with changes in the vision in my left eye, sciatica where my right leg doesn’t feel the same, muscle twitching, trouble sleeping, and more. On top of that, I now have a huge amount of medical debt from the ambulance, ER visit, and physical therapy.

I can’t help but feel angry at her. If she hadn’t pressured me to take the dog out again when he had just been outside, I wouldn’t be going through all of this. I can’t help but hold her partially responsible. AITAH for being pissed off at her and holding her partially responsible?

>Note:‎ I had to repost this because my original post was removed due to not including a TLDR.

My girlfriend and I kind of ended up living together unintentionally. Long story short, she had a severe arm injury at work and was out on workers’ comp for about three years, not knowing that she would be out this long. She went through three surgeries and a lot of physical therapy. During that time, I basically stayed with her full-time to help out since she had very limited function. Since she was always home and I worked remotely at her place, we spent a lot of time together in the same room.

Now her arm is mostly back to normal (thankfully), and she’s returned to work on light duty. Since things are more stable, I’ve been thinking about moving back to my own place. The thing is, I never really went home during those three years except for occasional quick stops. My place is pretty long drive from hers so I always have to plan in advanced.

I still technically live at my own place. I have a roommate there and I’ve been paying my share of the bills the entire time. I don’t contribute to my girlfriend’s rent or bills, so I’ve basically been maintaining a separate place this whole time.

Whenever I bring up moving back, she says she has got used to us living together and doesn’t want me to leave. I care about her, and we have very solid relationship, but I also really value my alone time, and it’s starting to feel stressful not having my own space. How should I go about this?

TLDR: My girlfriend was injuried for 3 years due to an accident at work. Due to her having multiple surgeries, I took care of her and practical lived with her. Now that she is feeling better, I want to move back to my own place but she has got so used to mw "living with her"‎ when it was never my intention. How do I go about this?
