My (f39) boyfriend (m29) has seemingly stopped talking to me since this Tuesday just gone all because I was very reluctant to fork out the money to book & pay for a hotel room in our home town so that we could be together.
I don’t have much money to my name & am trying to save up all the spare cash that I have from each weeks pay checks whilst he says that he has a very decent amount of money saved up yet he ALWAYS expects me to be the one to pay for the hotel room & when I suggest that he pays for once or that we go 50/50 in splitting the costs he always comes up with an excuse in not paying for the room himself.
Monday night just gone, I did end up giving into him & booked & paid for a hotel room but the by the time the hotel got the booking it was too late as the hotel closes at 9pm each night & they don’t accept after hours arrivals so the room had to be cancelled & I was extremely lucky to get my money refunded due to the booking being a non-refundable booking.
I’ve already lost money on 2 hotel rooms that I booked & paid for that I ended up not needing as he was too busy with other things to meet up with me at those hotels (even though he was the one suggesting that we get the rooms in the first place).
I just wanted to get people’s opinions as to whether I did the right thing in not wanting to pay for the hotel or if I should’ve just got the room so that me & my boyfriend could finally be together again?
