A few months back my bf asked if I wanted to go to a concert with him and his kids. I said yes thinking he wanted me to go with him. (I don’t remember if I offered him money to cover my ticket).
Fast forward a few months and he still hadn’t booked the tickets. Meantime we’d been to a couple of less expensive concerts that I’d booked and paid for. (He didn’t offer to pay for his tickets at the time, but did offer to pay for his ticket for one of the concerts that took place more recently).
We were out a few weeks ago in the pub and the concert (he wanted to go to with me and his kids) came up in conversation. He said he still hadn’t booked tickets. I offered to give him money for my ticket and he said that would be great.
The next day, and days thereafter, he didn’t book the tickets and I didn’t offer him any money!
Last week he asked me if I wanted to go and I said no. He didn’t ask me why. He’s since gone ahead and booked tickets for him and his kids.
I thought he asked me to go out with him and his kids because he wanted me there with him. But it seems that wasn’t the case!
Neither of us has a lot of money. He’s taken me out for a meal once. I certainly don’t expect him to pay for everything. I definitely pay my way. We don’t live together.
Should I have just paid for my ticket so I could’ve gone with him and his kids?
