So me (19) and my girlfriend (19) (both students) were looking to plan a summer holiday. I already had wanted to go to Croatia as it would be my first time visiting, so I naturally asked her what she thought of the idea. She agreed it would be nice but then after looking at cost, she said that she may struggle to fund it. I, of course am also not rolling in it, however I’m a bit less concerned about the amount. We then came to the conclusion after a bit more research that a holiday visiting a few places in our home country might be nice.
This is when I brought up with her that I really want to visit Croatia/ abroad and would like to do it whilst I’m a student, and that if she doesn’t think she can cover the cost, I can also go with a friend to keep it fun! She broke down from this saying that we have limited time together in summer (we are long distance, an hour flight) and that I am already away with family in another country for two weeks and now I want to spend another week apart.
Am I therefore the asshole for wanting to go with or without her?
NAH I think, it is reasonable for her to be upset, but not reasonable for her to expect that as a reason for you not to go.
