Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : My girlfriend and I are both studying abroad right now, but in different countries. She got very sick last week and was in the hospital for a few days. Her parents paid for me to go help her because they couldn't afford to come themselves. She's back in her apartment now but needs help with pretty much everything when she's awake, like walking to the bathroom, showering etc, and I'm also cleaning the apartment and keeping it stocked with food and such. I'm not saying I deserve anything for this, I'm just kind of exhausted and cooped up. That said, I understand that she's feeling much worse than I am right now.

Her program is through our college, so I know most of the people on it, and they've invited me out to dinner and such a few times, but I haven't even brought it up to my girlfriend because I don't want to make her feel guilty. That said, I'd really like to get out a bit. I wouldn't go out all day or all night, but just for a few hours. I also don't have service in this country, so I wouldn't be available by phone. Her parents also didn't buy my ticket so I could go site seeing, they did it so I could support her. I'm pretty conflicted about it-- would I be an asshole if I proposed this to her?
