belated friday Hax chat question: should she pay to fly to the wedding her S.O. was invited to?

Posted by pigby (aka chris) Dec 20 '08, 14:11

Denver: Hi Carolyn. S.O. has a wedding that he wants me to attend that requires a flight in order to get there. His family also lives in the city of the wedding, so he sees it as a family visit, and thus, justifiable to ask me to pay my way. I don't think I should have to pay for myself to get there, since I don't ask/expect him to go to my friends' weddings on his own dime, nor do I ask him to pay to get to my parents' house. On the flip side, the weddings of my friends and my parents' house have been within driving distance, but I have picked up the tab (of gas and hotel) every time. Any thoughts?

Responses:

I'm confused. Your SO wants you to go to his friends wedding, and it's in flying distance? I have no clue, I wouldn't go. -- nm - lileve Dec 20, 14:34 3
- the SO was the one who was invited. he wants her to go, but they have to fly to get there - pigby Dec 20, 14:35 2
  - What you wrote was confusing to me. If he wants he to go he should pay. -- nm - lileve Dec 20, 14:36 1
    - If he wants her to go he should pay. -- nm - lileve Dec 20, 14:36
i don't get the second sentence. it's like they had an agreement only he agreed to, and only on her part. - b! merry and bright. Dec 20, 14:22 2
- seems like it's his justification for asking her to pay. It's a "family" visit - Roger More Dec 20, 14:29 1
  - that's how i read it, too. that there's nothing done that way on his part. is so odd. -- nm - b! merry and bright. Dec 20, 14:40
This is becoming my pat answer to all of these questions: - Epiphany Dec 20, 14:20 3
- no - but she wouldn't mind paying so much, because he's hawt -- nm - Roger More Dec 20, 14:32 2
  - i think you have the cash flow in that equation wrong -- nm - pigby Dec 20, 14:34 1
    - opposite conclusion to pippy. hawt guy = she ends up paying -- nm - Roger More Dec 20, 14:38
He should pay if he wants her there. Seeing that she's paid to get him to her events. -- nm - the liioulu with sorta clear sidewalks Dec 20, 14:15
he should at least split it. at least. -- nm - Remlik Dec 20, 14:13
