spinstermanquee Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 when you do something for someone it should be because you want to not in the expectation of getting something back in return. That is true... I certainly never did those things with "future credits" in mind. I did what I did because it was the right thing to do at that moment in time. In this particular case I think the right thing to do was for my husband to be generous enough to spring for my ticket. However, that is not happening so I will find a way to make it (the ticket) happen myself. Link to comment
DN Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Yeah, but you are doing that retrospectively. You decided at the time that you could afford it. Why can't he have the same privilege? Does he tell you how to spend your money on him? My wife and I pool our money and make decisions together about spending so it's not an issue for us but if you choose to do things separately then you should accept each other's right to make their own decisions. If he is usually mean or ungenerous that is one thing - but an airline flight isn't cheap. Link to comment
spinstermanquee Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Definitely not to Europe in the summer for sure. Anyhow the planets are in alignment on this one - I just now received a call from a woman I met over a month ago who does inhome pet sitting services so it looks like we will not have to struggle to find pet or house care!

DN Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Does that mean that you can now go with him? Link to comment
spinstermanquee Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 the house and pet care was never an issue, these things always fall into my domain anyways. post #21 is the final on the situation. Link to comment
