Friends tightness ruining holiday.

On holiday with a close friend, been friends for over 10 years. Sharing a room for three nights but self catering so have to buy all our food/drinks. We’ve been on holiday together before no issues.

However, friend has recently got into a relationship and is going away with her boyfriend also on holiday in 3 weeks. She is refusing to spend any money on the trip we are currently on and I’m finding it a bit of a downer.

We had planned where we were going to go (tourist attractions) and restaurants to eat at and as this will be my only trip this year I was looking forward to it, but now we are here she’s constantly saying “oh I’m not sure I want to go there now and I don’t want to spend money on that as I’m saving for next holiday”

I wasn’t looking for a really expensive trip but just a few mid price restaurants and the odd cocktail. Id budgeted 100 euros a day and that seemed ok. Friend has brought the same but isn’t willing to spend id say more than 15/20. I have been buying her most things such as an ice cream, or a cocktail but I’m getting a bit annoyed now that she’s “saving” while I’m spending on her so I’ve stopped.

Sorry...not posted before but dying to know how it all ended up???

Me too! Maybe @Holytortilla hasn't been back because she's in clink for pushing cheapskate mate overboard on the boat trip? 🤔

Thought it was a three night holiday?
So she should be home..

And no she doesn’t have to, I think we all get that 🙄but it’s nice to get a final update.

So will I!!!

Whether I win my battle or not - I'll either want someone to celebrate with or a shoulder to cry on, but if it ever happens, I'll be here.

And we'll be here, cheering you on 🏁
