AIBU - DPs Annual Ball.

[ImAnElfJeSuisUneElf]

Short and snappy, tries and quite lighthearted.

DPs annual ball is free for him to attend (the company pays)

If I go with him, it costs £25 for my seat/dinner.

The arranged rate with the hotel is £100 - so £50 each.

DP is insisting I pay for my meal, and my half of the hotel as he doesn't want to go alone.

I personally, am not all that fussed, but having been told that, not only do I have to pay to hold his hand, I'm paying MORE than him, to attend HIS do, I've decide that I won't bother.

I offered to go halves on my meal so it was an equal split, he wasn't interested.

He things I'm being a cow now, I think I'm being entirely reasonable.

AIBU?

The basic feminist point is that both wife and husband have a say in how a family's money is spent. And that when there are differences, they are thrashed out with respect for both parties.

So this is a feminist thread, and actually even those who are claiming otherwise are coming at it from a feminist standpoint.

Feminist issues aside, I have a real issue with subsidising my DH's work in any way. And dont kid yourself, the OP's DH will be getting plenty out of being seen with his girlfriend at his works do.

Why on earth do you have to stay at a hotel for a works do anyway?!
