'No matter what I do, I owe them more': 31-year-old man refuses to let his family borrow his girlfriend's car while she’s on vacation, despite being guilt-tripped over living at home, not contributing financially, and not driving around unlicensed brother

Adult life can be difficult as it is, and because of this, it takes some people longer to 'get their lives together' than others. However, being a 31-year-old who still lives at home and is unable to financially contribute to his family already makes him feel bad enough, he doesn't need the constant reminder from his parents, too. Maybe he isn't currently contributing financially, but there are other ways to contribute that don't involve Benjamin Franklins…yet, he still feels like nothing he does is enough…it seems as though he may need some tough love, but it just struggling to receive it! 

When his girlfriend goes out of town and lends out her car to him for work commutes, he is ecstatic, 'finally some freedom,'...or so he thought. But when his family discovers her generous offer, they want a piece of the car for themselves, or better yet…have him drive his unlicensed brother around for them! He doesn't feel comfortable lending out her car without permission, and doesn't think he's entitled to do so either. So when he refuses, his family pulls out all the guilt-trip cards, in hopes it will get him to miraculously change his mind!
