[quote=Anonymous]You guys were already on vacation and planning another trip? when I was a grad student/ta it was hand to mouth. Trips home were because my parents gave me miles or bought a ticket. I was dating another grad student so we were poor together, which worked out well. Before, I had briefly dated an investment banker who flung his money around--that also stressed me out and made me feel like the relationship was not equal so I ended it. Also, he was a jerk but that's another story.

anyway, I don't think that you are obliged to pay 200 for anything--but the fact that you've been together 3 years and you won't pay 200$ for her cc debt but will pay for dates is a little curious. Sounds like she figured out you were not in it for the long term and maybe that's the wisest decision for you both. Obviously if she were mismanaging her finances and thats why she needed money, that's an issue, but living on a grad student stipend is rough. I recall being in my last year of a program, getting a prestigious fellowship in DC and my stipend was 15,000 for 12 months. Now that same institution provides 25k AND housing, but I was living on ramen in a cockroach infested place. [/quote]
