[quote=Anonymous]One of our then 20-something daughters had a boyfriend she was serious about and who she’d been with for about as long as your son has been with his GF when we were planning an extravagant trip well over a year in advance. We invited the guy (treating him no different than another daughter’s husband) and said we would pay and he declined, honestly telling our daughter that while he appreciated the gesture he didn’t feel comfortable accepting since they hadn’t been together very long and the trip was so far in the future. They were still together by the time the trip rolled around and he didn’t go because it was too late to work him. It was such a bummer. Ultimately they got married. My advice: if you’re offering to pay for everybody else, you offer to pay for her. The idea that you can offer to pay for your 25 year old son to vacation with you but not his live in girlfriend is a non-starter. Those days are over. [/quote]
