I booked a 7 day cruise with my girlfriend and I told her I would pay the cost of it to make up for a previous thing I wronged her on. On the cruise, there are also gratuities that are more or less "mandatory" to pay to the tune of about $110. We had not talked about me paying for that.
As part of a promotion with booking the cruise, I got $150 credit that could be used for any purchase on the ship. In addition, I used a credit card (Amex Platinum) which I pay $700 a year for, but which gave me an additional $200 credit, for a total of $350.
I told her that I had credits and I would pay for the cost of her gratuities and I sent her over the money. While I was at guest services, she found out that I actually had $350 and got very upset that I was "hiding" this from her and she demanded that I give her half of my credits. Her reasoning was that we are a couple and this was a cruise I was supposed to share half of everything. I argued that I pay a lot of money to get my extra $200 credit and I was already covering every obligatory cost for the cruise, like I had agreed to.
AITA for not splitting the extra money I received? My opinion was that I was entitled to the entire amount and she shouldn’t even have felt like the money for the tip was hers, as I had paid the cost of the cruise anyway.
Edit: A few have commented that it depends on what I did wrong or if it was a financial wrong. No, it was not a financial wrong. I am choosing not to describe it because it would distract from the point of the post, but I was definitely the asshole, so that’s why I made up for it by taking her on the cruise.
i’m going with YTA.
you apparently did something so egregious that you agreed to pay for a *cruise* to make up for it, then squabbled over like $200 of credits?
what is that — a handful of drinks and a royal carribean t-shirt?
just break up lol
