Hmmm...
20 Answers
I'm not quite sure what to do, I was wondering what any of you would do in my position...
Me and my boyfriend have been together for 6 months, and we love each other dearly.
He's early twenties and doesn't earn a major amount.
Yet has made up his mind that he wants to take me away for a weekend in November (for my birthday) to Paris.
Which you can imagine is exceptionally expensive.
I feel really really bad and guilty about all this, as he is spending all his money on me. And granted, as much as I would like to go, I wish he'd except some of my money to help pay, or wait until we can afford it. Is that a bit selfish of me?
Any ideas on what to say to him? Or what would you do?

He sounds like a sweetie. He obviously worships you and wants to do this for you - why don't you let him, but save up some money of your own anyway and buy euros with it a week or so before. He may find it easier to accept your contribution if you say "it's just a bit of spending money." That could make a difference once you're there I think!!??
Hold on to this one!! xx

Thanks for your replies... Don't worry nutgoneflake! I wouldn't let him go anywhere : ) I love him to pieces. And yes, he's an exceptionally amazing guy (I'm very lucky) :D
And I did think of that idea nuoyg, I might ask if he'd rather go later... But I'm not sure on anything yet.
I'm just really nervous of spending his money. I'm pretty money concious anyway, and I dunno, just makes me feel bad. I feel bad about him spending anything on me, let alone the price he's willing to pay for us to go to paris.
Thanks again : )
