[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lord, how old are you? Both of you sound very immature.

In relationships, there is precious little "wrong" or "right". What's crucial is respectful communication. Even if you're mad, you don't shut up passive-aggressively (like you did, with the sighing and saying it's OK when it's not). And you don't start pestering and blustering, like your boyfriend did.

So far as "right and wrong" are concerned, the answer is: [b]you are both wrong![/b]

The breakdown/failure here is that you waited until today to resolve this; if it was important to you to go on the trip, you should have pressed it back when he pushed back on the original suggestion and said "this is important to me, and worth spending $$ on".  He pushed back directly and told you why: even the groupon version was more than he wanted to spend.  That was the time to have the conversation about the money.

It is possible that would still have resulted in an insurmountable disagreement (aka fight), but that would be really useful information for both of you when you consider making a long term committment (of any kind) together. Right?  [/quote]
