[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To play devil’s advocate, maybe the relatives believed you were treating since you suggested the house. DH went to his nephew’s wedding alone. None of his siblings brought spouses or kids either (they weren’t invited) so it ended up being just him, his mom and siblings. His oldest sister stated she was renting a house so they could all stay together. I asked him if he was paying a portion since a hotel would be cheaper but he told me his sister was paying since she offered to rent it. But as far as I know, she never stated she was paying for it. DH assumed.  I’m not sure what her intention was but DH insisted he didn’t need to contribute.

I always ask what I can contribute. I even did so when my parents planned beach vacations years ago and when my sister invited us to use her rental home (she was losing income otherwise). Unless you had clearly expressed you were treating, I would pay my portion even if only asked after the fact. But in your shoes, I would assume that not everybody might respond favorably. I’d still ask though. [/quote]

No,
Suggestions are not free treatment.
We should go out to dinner Vs
I like to take you out to dinner.( This is when you are getting free dinner.)
Tell your DH to offer his sister some payment.

And yet, here we are, on a multiple-page thread, with lots of different perspectives on the matter.

OP is a bad communicator, a bit foolish, and more than rude to screw her generous cousin. [/quote]
