Man Asks If He’s the A*****e for Expecting Girlfriend to Pay Equal Share for Expensive Vacation

A man asked AITA for inviting his girlfriend on an expensive vacation and expecting her to pay for her share. The man makes a lot more money than his girlfriend and he and his family favor expensive places. His girlfriend took on a second job to save for the trip but still couldn’t afford everything. She skipped some outings and ate only two meals a day to save money. He confronted her later, and she broke down, saying she couldn’t afford it. He feels bad but doesn’t know why she agreed to come if the cost was an issue. But, did he do something wrong? Read the post to find out!

Despite her taking on a second job to save up, she was still unable to fully participate in all of the activities due to budget constraints.
