[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thirty something man and woman dating for 1.5 years, discussing marriage.

Woman has a family member getting married. Costs are airfare, hotel, and car rental.

Woman makes 50,000. Man makes 500,000. How should travelling costs be split? Should the woman pay for everything or maybe everything but the mans flight, since it is her family? Or should the man pay for more since he makes so much more?[/quote]

If you took all income and relationship history information out of the scenario, I would say they should each pay for their own clothes and flights (after all, those are added costs from him deciding to come along), she pays for the hotel room and the gift (because she'd have to incur those costs either way).

[b]But since we do have income and relationship information, I'll say that if they are talking marriage but he's still so thoroughly bean-counting that he doesn't want to pay a penny more than he technically has to for this trip, even though he makes 10 times what she does, they shouldn't get married[/b].[/quote]

I don't think the OP has said anything about him refusing to pay. Sounds to me like he's paid his own airfare, and the hotel is currently reserved on her card, and that's it right now. I think she's asking what people think would be appropriate. Nothing she's said so far suggests that he's "thoroughly bean counting."

But as others have said, I think airfare aside the rest should be her own expense unless he offers to pay.[/quote]
