Say you are deciding to go on a cruise vacation and want to take your girlfriend... she cannot afford it but you figure you will take her along since you do like her company. However, since now you are going to absorb the cost of 2 instead of one, to save money you opt for the less expensive inside room (no windows), you figure it's a good compromise.

You announce the surprise vacation to your GF, she is happy but not too thrilled about the inside room and complains about it...says you should go for the more expensive window rooms since she knows you can afford it.

How would you feel about it?

Invite her to pay for the upgrade...it could be the matter-of-fact way that you wrote it but she sounds ungrateful.

I would have paid for the room with the windows because views are important especially if you're going to be in the room for extended periods hanging out. But her attitude is a bummer. It's a free vacation and her reaction is criticism?

I would feel great after breaking up with her. It sounds like she is ungrateful and hard to please. She has done you a favor by revealing that to you early on.

Laugh in her face and put her in her place by telling her she should be grateful that you even offered for her to come.

I would dump her ass in a New York minute. Make that a New York HALF minute.

In all the years I dated prior to marriage, I never expected my BF to pay for one meal, one hotel room or one vacation for me. (And he never did, I paid my own way).

I would be LIVID at your ungrateful GF and kick her whining little cheapskate ass to the curb.

Good riddance. A real woman with any smarts, self-estem or class wouldn't expect you to pay for her vacation, she pays her own way.

I agree with everything you said. His girlfriend sounds more like a brat than a mature woman.
