[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a girlfriend of six month, I would be fine for my BF to go on a pre planned family trip. If invited and interested in going, would expect to pay my own share.

As a girlfriend of 2+ years, would expect to be included and paid for if they are paying for everyone else.

That being said, everyone's income factors in. If I'm making good money and they are retired on pension, it's different than they being wealthy and me struggling on entry level salary. Either way, if everyone has good intentions, its no big deal either way. Long term relations are more important than a fancy vacation.[/quote]

Umm what you are not entitled to anyone's money even if they are millionaires and you are struggling in an entry level job. That's not their fault and doesn't automatically mean they should have to pay for you especially as a GF. I wouldn't even necessarily expect an invite at the dating stage. It would be nice to be invited but I don't think it should be expected. If I'm paying for all my own kids I don't think one of my kid's significant others should automatically be paid for.

Now if this was your own family of origin and your parents were paying for all of your siblings but you then yes that's unacceptable and a conversation needs to be had.
