What is not.....?

If you have been in a relationship for a year plus and you decide to go on holiday together. Would you expect your partner to pay for his/her ticket and expenses themselves??? What do you feel is the way to go????

I think if one asked the other and the other has not got much money then yea the asker should pay, but if u decided as a couple out of mutual agreement then each should pay for their own

I don't get any holidays, just a sharp stick in me eye is all. That said, I think you will find all kinds out there. I knew some that would spend my money then off with some one else, and then others that would give their last dime if you allowed it. Just have to be with someone that thinks in the way you do. I sure do miss Spain, it has been since 89 that I was there. Where do you like to go for a holiday? I thought everyone came there.

Depends on the financial situation of each person. If you are both limited financially, a contribution from each would be in order. After all, if you are a couple, it makes sense.
If one can assume a little more, it's alright to take a little more from the burden.
If you start counting beans early in a relationship, what will happen later on? This is yours and this is mine because there is distrust and one party feels it's not going to work later on?
If you plan in sharing your lives, nothing wrong in sharing the finances. It is up to you both to decide what kind of relationship you plan on having, IMHO. wine

Ok what if one is really financially very strong and the other has to count every penny. Even if you both pay 50/50 towards all living expenses.???

If one is over the top financially strong then he/she should pick up more then half of the expense.

What I think is more important then who pays for what is that each person sees that the other isn't a slacker and wants to make a contribution, even if it's just a hotdog.


The action of offering goes a long way even if it's your last dollar.

I think that each should pay their fair share whatever that was.

I suppose the one who was more money strong would pay more then the one who has to watch every penny.

You can't go on holidays with a wallet full of coins.
You need to save for it.

Have you both been pretty serious? like "exclusive"? Seems that the one that is doing well, especially if it was their idea would be more then happy to take the other on a Lovely Holiday. Where are you thinking of running off to? Somewhere fun I hope.

Which person wants to have the holiday?? If it´s the one who is better off he/she should foot the majority of the bill....presumably that person would be quite happy to do so, cos they wanna be in your company.
If, however, the one that wants the holiday is the one with NO resources, I would look kinda askance!!!!!!!!!!!

I see, well...to me it would seem quite simple and they should go if it is doable, meaning that if one will have put more of the cost in i would think it would not be an issue. For some reason I thought it was yourself that was going, I hope that they resolve it and have a lovely time. all the best.
