So, for a little info before I get into it, my girlfriend (24f) has a chronic illness and needs a wheelchair off and on. I (23f) have a long history with athletic injuries from high school.

The problem starts with us sitting in bed after a long morning of running errands. After we had already gotten settled, I started a movie and she asks if I can get her wheelchair for her which is downstairs and across the house. I apologise and tell her that the morning out made my body extremely tired and don't think I can get the 50lb chair up a flight of stairs. She then tells me "no it's ok, I'll be fine"

I instantly feel bad and ask her if it's ok if I return to my movie and to please answer honestly and she says that yes, I would be mad.

I tried to explain things again and she asks if I will get our younger brother to help. At this point she's crying and I feel like a complete asshole, but I'm also in a lot of pain and genuinely don't think I can help. 

Still feeling bad, I tell her that I can't make the trip downstairs to ask him, that it's the stairs that are the problem. She tells me that I'm obviously not sorry and gets out of bed slowly. At first I wasn't sure what she was going to do, then I realise that she intends to bum-scoot downstairs to get the chair herself.

After she gets maybe 3 meters away I get out if bed and head for the bedroom door. She insists that she can do it, but I do it anyway.

I couldn't get my brother's help because he and everyone else were out and it hurt a lot getting that chair upstairs.

Am I the Asshole?

TL;DR my girlfriend has a chronic illness, I have old sports injuries and refused to get her wheelchair for her, AITA?
