GF wants to take a "weekend getaway" trip that will cost me $1500. Excessive?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: March 20th, 2018 5:26 PM Author: walnut dysfunction I don't even want to go, but the flight + her choosing one of the most expensive hotels in the area is adding up fast. That's not even counting eating out, etc. Just for a weekend. Its for her birthday FWIW, just her and I, she would be paying for her flight and half the hotel too.
Also, FWIW, I've literally never once bought a flight to go on a weekend trip that wasn't a bachelor party or a family get together.
Also FWIW I'm poor compared to guys like Earl. |

Date: March 20th, 2018 5:59 PM Author: misunderstood sepia telephone At most, weekend getaway should be 1-3hr drive MAX to a destination where you'll do shit, maybe like outdoor activities, or things unique to that area. Hotel just needs to be clean, not necessarily fancy.
Do you do loyalty w/ any particular chain, if it was me I'd probably just steer her to whatever is the nicest Marriott/Hilton/whatever and say you're limited the scope to that since you get the points, etc. When I travel to non-urban areas I stay at plenty of Marriott sub brands which are suitable w/o being too pricey. |

It was me who then insisted on going to the nicer grocery store next to buy steaks, but in a sign of my generosity I did not complain when she put hummus in the cart even though it was a big tub of fancy hummus and would have been cheaper to buy at Walmart.
I also bought oil and fluids for the POS Jeep I bought for her to drive ($1500 for the Jeep the same amount as your flame “weekend getaway,”) but she is going to change it. Of course I still have to do some welding on it. Not letting her touch my welder.

Date: March 21st, 2018 1:44 PM Author: wine senate sneaky criminal I just put my fucking foot down in a major way and bitched out the fiance when she proposed something similar to this. You need to do so as well unless you want to be viewed as a wallet with a dick attached, or to otherwise encourage completely frivolous spending habits. You need to understand - a woman will not save anything, will not care about investments, will make no prudent financial decisions, but rather will spend all that she makes plus (1) whatever she can get out of you and (2) additional credit extended to her by banks. This is in my experience the attitude of 98% of women I know, and I don't even hold it against them because it seems something inherent to the mindset of even otherwise completely wonderful, educated and marriageable women, and primarily the man's fault if he acquiesces.
In my case, finance proposed spontaneous four day trip to Europe, on the basis we could use some airlines miles and thus it would be "free." What she meant by that is it was free to her and she failed to acknowledge, much less calculate, the additional expenses incurred on lodging, food and whatever activities she thought we were going to do while there. |
